/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.

When under duress Archer and Janeway are the shallow, emotional humans we often reveal ourselves to be. We throw away our principles as soon as the adrenaline hits, often before. It's relatable.
Picard's how we think ourselves. He's privileged in mature procedure & technology, and has strong external support. He respects justice, law, and principle, then reasons a way to honor all of them in the specific situation. It's thematically Jesus, OT judge meets NT wisdom, and unsustainably inhuman.
It's not fair to compare Sisko. He's lesser Starfleet authority than Archer and Janeway, reasons as well as Picard, he suffered little hope of a life worth living before the series even begins, and Jake's youth prevents too much initial risk. Sisko by far has the best initial situation to be the best of the lot.
