/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.

Your knowledge of Klingon curses is impressive. But as a Romulan might say, only a vahruul would use such language in public.
I can't imagine Klingons having a concept of "polite language" or otherwise
The episode where they are doing some kind of court case and there is a Klingon lawyer threw my entire perception of Klingons for a loop. If they have lawyers, what other weird jobs do they have you might not expect from a warrior race? Like... How does one find honor as a sanitation worker? They have to have those, right? 🤔
Ezri got it right about the Klingons. In Enterprise, Martok told us that the younger generations all wanted to be warriors,. In ds9, Klingon lawyers saw themselves as warriors, on the battlefield of the courtroom.
Cultural evolution is weird, and in retrospect, not always right
