/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.

MODERATORS
We don't really care about 100% adherence to established canon around here. Especially if it's amusing.
Okay but this erases the much larger discussion about ableism, something that Geordie's character (sometimes clumsily) personifies.
"Don't fix me, I'm not broken".
Who said the mockery chip was politically correct?
I suppose, but so does him getting cybernetic eyes in the movies.
not if you only consider is cyberEyes to be mere upgrades to his visor (which, if you'll recall, also hurt him to use) rather than a "cure".
Counterpoint: this is the internet
Ok this is making me really think I need to watch this show. It’s a statement I’m often frustrated that able folks don’t get that some of us have.
I do have to warn you, the quality varies. Rick Berman and, strangely, Gene Roddenberry himself, both held the show back: forcing rewrites; being sleazebags; crushing cast interpretations of their own roles; and projecting their hangups onto the franchise for as long as they could.
Progressiveness isn't always linear.
