/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.

In-universe reason: Couldn't risk the Kazon destroying the tricobalt devices before they destroyed the array.
Real reason: Had to find a way to strand Voyager in the Delta Quadrant.
no matter what, there are always very easy, simple ways around any “what if” theoretical scenarios people often present when arguing about this episode’s major flaw. timing the tricobalt devices to X femtoseconds after the Voyager is sent back. Arming hundreds or thousands of devices so the Kazon couldn’t possibly disarm them all in time. Both. There is not possibility that the Voyager crew couldn’t have - very easily - both ensured the destruction of the Caretaker’s array while simultaneously gotten themselves home. Janeway simply overreacted and/or acted before thinking things though and fucked her whole crew rather than benefitting from, perhaps, 5-15 seconds of planning— which she definitely had. I know, *because I figured it out, in real time, while watching the episode while it aired. As a 16-year old in the feeble 20th century, outthinking a 24th-century Starfleet captain, I was pretty disappointed in this new show, I must admit...
