/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

My favorite Sisko mood is when he's breaking down or really angry. Like when he's yelling at Odo about calling the cops in Far Among the Stars:

You go ahead! Call them! Call anybody you want. They can't do anything to me. Not anymore. And nor can any of you. I am a human being, damn it. You can deny me all you want but you cannot deny Ben Sisko. He exists! That future, that space station, all those people, they exist in here. In my mind, I created it. And every one of you know it. You read it. It's here. You hear what I'm telling you? You can pulp a story but you cannot destroy an idea. Don't you understand? That's ancient knowledge. You cannot destroy an idea. That future, I created it, and it's real. Don't you understand? It is real! I created it and it's real! It's real! Oh, God. (Benny collapses, sobbing.)

He seems so happy and cheerful in the first couple of episodes. I remember it catching me off guard when he finally gets angry

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Happy:

Which is understandable when this is angry:

[–] teft@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That isn't a display of The Sisko being angry. That's The Sisko lightly miffed. This is The Sisko angry:

One man's tantrum is another man's genocide.

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

That was odd. There was a "blink and you miss it" reference that it's not poison for Cardassians, and another indicating that the Maquis and Cardassians simply traded colonies after Eddington did a bio-warfare and Sisko countered with a chemical-warfare.

Don't forget the mood "goo goo for babies"

Mood number 3 is joviality:

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

When you watch the "OW!!!!!" video when he gets to relive meeting Jennifer, I think it counts as joviality. His joviality is just punctuated by socially awkward noises.

Mood 4 is indignation-

”I’m not Picard

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Had to flesh out the whole moment. You know how it goes.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There’s really 2 things to note about that scene and episode;

First, it was totally the writers letting the earl grey drinkers know he wasn’t going to be another Picard.

Secondly, and very importantly, Q never fucks with sisko again.

Imagine Paddy’s replacing Quark’s.

Can i offer you a nice jumja stick in these trying times?

[–] sxan@midwest.social 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

He's wearing, like, 4 layers in that one photo.

[–] qisope@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

A man of many layers

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

And he wonders why he's cranky.
