/c/TenFoward: 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. 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.

@jawa21@startrek.website for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.

Every character on TNG was an expert in whatever they needed to be an expert in that episode.

I think there's a big difference between Geordie doing whatever the plot needs in Engineering and Geordie showing up at a planet and the top scientists on a planet of 1 billion saying, "OMG, it's Geordie LaForge. I read your definitive textbook on Plate Tectonics."

That hardly happened regularly with Pulaski in her one season.

It happened 3 times in one season! Being an expert in one subject is fine. Being the foremost authority in a federation of 980 Billion people is extremely unlikely. Also being the best heart surgeon and cybernetic opthalmologist is ridiculous in only a single season.

Picard had an interest in Archaeology. He didn't write the definitive textbook on it.
