/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.

This, but more abusive and they never really get closer:

Honestly, I didn't like the portrail of Harry's and Tom's friendship either. Harry often plays second fiddle to Tom - most vividly in the holonovels. Tom is usually the main character while Harry is playing the sidekick. It never felt to me like they were seeing eye to eye.

I mean, yeah, that's a deliberate part of their relationship. I think Harry complains about having to always be the sidekick at one point, and their friendship does evolve over the course of the show. Harry gets him back sometimes, or his cool head prevails. But mostly Harry is just there to suffer like O'Brien lol

Paris was frequently condescending to Harry early on, though it did taper once he was more assertive.

Pretty much, and I think they did him dirty.

They buddied Trip and Malcolm and Mayweather was just kind of....there.

[–] ummthatguy 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's like they didn't know what to do with his character. He got some mild focus with his barge-faring family, but it didn't help endear us to his perspective. There was a nod in SNW "Those Old Scientists" which I liked. Just left him floundering most of the time.

Not a fan of spinoffs just for the sake of it but.. A star trek series set up in the earliest stages of human interspace travel (akin to the tales of his family) would be so interesting. Not necesserily focused on Mayweather, but surely with his presence. No federation in sight, just starfleet being a couple of cargos in space barely surviving with little technology and a lot of hope.

And lots of ghost stories of course. Space is new for humans and very scary.
