TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Thought out in terms of psychology, philosophy, religion and politics? Absolutely. In terms of science, not so much. I mean, when has the plot ever depended on a consistent theory of any complexity? The science world-building of the show is mostly built around the needs of shooting a low budget SF show (teleporters to avoid expense shuttle landings) that requires very little knowledge of its unique from its audience. Need scanners for the plot? Sure, you can have them. Need to not have scanners? Sure, now there is a radiation field on this particular planet that interferes with the scanners. Need scanners not to work, but only for a little while? I have an ion storm for you.
Contrast with the Expanse which is based around real physics and forces it's audience to puzzle through it and forces its characters to deal.
I remember an interview with Patrick Stewart where he was talking about his advantage as a Shakespearean delivering dialogue that was forced and unnatural...
