/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.

TNG s5e11 "Hero Worship"
No offense to Mr. Harley Venton, who played Chief Hutchinson. Presumably, Colm Meaney was not available for shooting at this time. We'll take what we can get.
I think he was selling fried fish from a truck in Dublin at the time.
sometimes you need to rearrange your duty shift so you can help keep the space ghost who possessed your space wife from destroying the galaxy. I would think of all people Worf understands the kind of shit you ~~hide from~~ go through when you have a family.
Must be his first day or something. Chief Hutchinson does not appear to be suffering.
thank goodness the universal translator's not on the fritz
it's probably going to take the rest of TNG to unwind and fix all the randomly "improvised" fixes O'Brien was rocking. Sure, they might be more effecient, but hardly starfleet approved
O'Brien didn't do much improvising on the Enterprise. It was a big reason why he took the position at ds9, he wanted something that actually took cleverness and ingenuity to make work.
Like a hodgepodge of Cardassian and Federation technology.
Incidentally, Rom was the one making makeshift solutions more of the time. O'Brien had resources available to solve his problems, but Rom learned by using whatever materials he had on hand.
Like self-sealing stem bolts
Ha, true. But I've always assumed those are thoroughly logged/documented and eventually become SOP if they make sense. At least, that happened in ENT.
The NX was a prototype ship. By the time a ship class becomes production (like the galaxy class in TNG,) the repair manual is pretty well established.
Sure there might be a way to eek out some extra performance, but usually it comes at some other cost (like it breaks shit faster,)
Right. For sure.
I thought I remembered Geordi showing some improvements to Leah Brahams and, after she was appalled by them, she reconsidered and said she would recommend them as SOP (or something like that).
I guess if I needed an excuse for a TNG re-watch, there it is.
O’Brien could’ve beamed Data and Timothy through all that shielding.
