/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.

I can't even imagine what French Canadian Borg would be like!

Being Canadian I want to make a joke about them insisting on having a separate culture while also being acknowledged as part of the Collective. But I won't because I don't want to betray my roots with something offensive.

That's explains why they assimilated a Frenchman to be their emissary.

Les résistance est futile

Nah, they pretended they couldn’t understand what Locutus was saying.

“We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Your culture will adapt to service us. If you resist us, sorry, but we’re going to assimilate you anyway.”

Wow, that’s so much less threatening. I might’ve been totally OK being with being assimilated if this is what they said instead.

Never underestimate the exasperatingly sneaky power of of a Canadian wielding “Sorry (not sorry)”.

Unpopular opinion.

We know that the Borg assimilated at least one Ferengi. Which means they should have been masters of advertising and salesmanship. Granted, the loss of a few dozen units is irrelevant to the collective, but it would have been nice to see some "T Serve Man..." style sneakiness instead of the usual nastiness.

Bonus. Old time science fiction about an ad man and some aliens.
