/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.

Uh... He wasn't against allowing anyone to believe in a god of gods. He only took issue with people worshipping "The Picard" and Ardra scamming.

He gave a speech about how they had moved past religion and he wasn't going to allow them to go back to superstition

I looked it up.

Horrifying. Dr. Barron, your report describes how rational these people are. Millennia ago, they abandoned their belief in the supernatural. Now you are asking me to sabotage that achievement, to send them back into the dark ages of superstition and ignorance and fear? NO!

Man was such an atheist I'm mildly surprised he isn't more of a terminally online conservative. He's too pro-choice, though, so I think we're safe.

He knew Ardra was a phony, but still passed up the opportunity.

That takes some restraint and willpower, as opposed to Will-power, cause we all know Riker would.

[–] FlyingSquid 23 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It doesn't take any willpower when you're this man-

While I don't doubt he (or Picard) could have bagged Cindy Crawford, you can tell they weren't in the same room based on lighting and shadows.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Why would you expect them to be in the same room for the cover of some TV Guide in the first place?

As much as Renee O'Connor was amazing as Gabrielle, I wouldn't mind Jeri in that role 👀...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Huh. Didn't know that was a thing. Way more effort than I thought was ever put into a cover of a TV magazine.

[–] teft 10 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Let's be real. Picard probably worships the koala.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

He's met it enough times at this point that it's not belief. You don't believe in a fact.

[–] trolololol 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Have you been in a coma and missed the birth and growth of this terrible thing called social media?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

You mean that place where you don't believe in facts?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Nah. There is a whole omnipotent being with a massive crush on him and Picard treats him like a nuisance he deals with at regular intervals. First thing he did when Q got briefly depowered was put him in the brig.

Picard knows the Koala is real but he has zero respect for cosmic marsupials in general.

Wait, I thought we all did. Which is why I suggested a superior being such as JLP also does.

[–] FlyingSquid 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Fair enough. May your day be blessed by the holy breath of eucalyptus.
