/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

I can absolutely see why Denise Crosby quit the show. Tasha had basically no personality and only the three things we really know about her is that she grew up on an anarchic planet with rape gangs, she has a sister in a resistance group on that planet who she abandoned, and she fucked Data. That's pretty much it.

Was Tasha a secretary?
Cuz she was great at data entry

Didn't realize she was into that.

She was also... fully functional.

It's pronounced data not data

One of my earliest.

Actually, Captain, it is pronounced Dr D and The Fully Functional Branch. However, for the sake of brevity you may call me Data. And yes. That is Data with a Data. Not Data.

My brother Lore is a Cunning Linguist.

That's a great name you came up with. Love it.
And I don't even smoke.

It sucks that they ended up writing a more well rounded version of this character with Ro Laren and, even then, TNG couldn't keep them on the cast.

I'm honestly amazed any women stuck around with Rick Berman in charge. Michelle Forbes had a lot of stuff going on pre- and post- Star Trek, so I definitely don't blame her for sticking around. Poor Denise Crosby has not had that big of a career.

I feel like the character was underutilized, but i've honestly never been blown away by her acting as Tasha in the show. Maybe with time and a chance to grow into the role, but as is it doesn't feel like the series missed much.

Forbes as Ro hit that "hard edged but actually kind survivor" note much better, and I think it just came down to acting chops, honestly.

I love how she's got slightly different expressions in each panel, while Mr D over there is just standing waiting for the energize to happen.

So did Tasha.
