/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.

That line always annoyed the fuck out of me. They couldn't make up an equally vitally important Klingon author and then compare them?
Nope, just a throwaway joke.
I interpreted it as cultural appropriation and how primitive Klingon diplomacy was that they'd make the claim directly to the people they'd appropriated from.
That's really nice, I like that interpretation a lot! Sort of "This man wrote so well he might as well have been a Klingon."
Also might have meant that Shakespeare's style is very similar to Klingon plays, Chang finding something to admire or respect in his enemy. He was motivated by glory and preserving his culture and respected and valued the Federation as an enemy even though he hated and feared what would become of his people if they made them allies.
