/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 generally respect Janeway's focused attitude: yeah there are rules, but they can try me for my crimes IN THE FUCKIN' ALPHA QUADRANT goddamnit...

But Tuvix man...

She murdered my boy.

I 100% guarantee if Tuvix looked normal, ST fans would have a very different perspective when it comes to killing him.

We would be cool with his murder?

[–] TheGrandNagus -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Unfortunately most ST fans I see openly advocate for the killing of Tuvix.

[–] homesweethomeMrL 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Openly advocate?

I mean . . . I wouldn't say that.

It's a flawed premise to begin with. Just like the "Shaka, when the walls fell" was a flawed premise. But it gave us an interesting sci-fi episode.

[–] TheGrandNagus 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes, openly advocate. At least that's what I see whenever the debate comes up.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I want to give some credit to this community, and suggest that some vocal advocates for killing Tuvix are just doing so to wind others up.

Source:I've advocated that Janeway did nothing wrong. My primary motive is that it annoys my fellow Trek fans. I know I'm wrong, but I'm not even repentant. It's such an interesting discussion, and I enjoy being on the wrong side of it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

It was a difficult situation but I don't think Janeway made the wrong decision.

What’s a little bit of murder when compared to her other crimes, eh?
