/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.

Q pretty much only helped humanity.
Yeah, he’s chaotic, but introducing Picard to the Borg before the Borg showed up and steamrolled them was a massive gift.
Even the earlier trial of humanity and temptation of Riker served to strengthen their resolve and principles so they didn’t go all Sisko everywhere when the Borg arrived.
I hope Picard and the federation eventually looked back on Q as the gift that he was.
It was always a mixed blessing. For instance, with the Borg, while it did forewarn them, it also brought them into contact much earlier than they would have naturally.
Wasn't the start of that episode the enterprise trying to ascertain why some outlying colonies had gone dark? The borg were just studying the federation at that point; if they'd had more time they could have become even more dangerous
The Borg were only 2 years away from a star base at Enterprise’s maximum warp. We know they can go faster, and that they used warp conduits.
We can probably say within 2-5 years the Borg would have found almost all Alpha quadrant major powers, and likely would have overwhelmed at least some of them.
Voyager established Borg presence in the Alpha quadrant decades before Q who, at least, and Enterprise had them on Earth centuries ago.
That last one is the result of First Contact time shenanigans.
I have not watched that movie for a long time, and I was very sick when I saw it.
I should watch it again?
