/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.

To their credit, there's no evidence in that episode that the crew judged them for who they were or how they behaved.
The reacted to the difference, they never once condemned them for their difference.
This is my take too. Well said.
They kind of did. Picard was clearly disgusted by them.
Well, he's French. Criticizing him for being disgusted by other cultures is disrespecting his culture.
Willy: "The French and the Irish are natural enemies!"
How dare you not being French? I'll stop understanding even un tout petit peu of English.
Yes Officer, this one right here.
That was just because there were more children on his ship.
Really...? How so?
I would have said bemused, frustrated, confused, dismissive... He knows he's not a patient man and he doesn't like disorder on his ship.
It's all about him from what I can see. Don't remember him suggesting his reactions were down to them being disgusting?
Honestly in that episode, the crew were more freaked out by the clones than the Irish
Was he though? He mostly looked like a captain who wasn't thrilled with the idea of a large group of non-navy civilians starting fires onboard his ship and having their animals shit everywhere.
