/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’ve hated him the moment he changed Troi’s uniform, which was the same episode actually.

The uniform change was either requested by or substantially welcomed by Marina Sirtis, fwiw.

Theres actually a similar story with the fish. From Memory Alpha:

According to Ronny Cox, Patrick Stewart hated Livingston's presence in the ready room, and constantly petitioned the producers to remove the fish. Stewart, a strong animal rights advocate who opposes many forms of pet ownership, felt that using a captive animal in an ornamental display was "immoral" and inconsistent with TNG's core theme of exploring the inherent dignity of different species across the galaxy. Cox, who called Stewart's point "well taken", stated that Livingston's temporary removal in "Chain of Command" was thus a "sort of a bone they threw to Patrick".

Wasn't aware of that aspect. Thanks.

Wowz that site is a trainwreck on a browser without an adblocker...

Better than the cheerleader look in season 1. Then, for Voyager, she adopted the late DS9 uniform which I think worked.

The charitable interpretation is that the actress and/or the character got more influence/respect as time went on.

The uncharitable, but (considering Rick Berman's reputation) possibly more accurate interpretation is that she aged out of the 'Ms. Fanservice' role.

The hair is also better in the right one.

[–] ummthatguy 6 points 4 weeks ago

Finally shed the late 80's/early 90's big hair fad.

There are people who didn't like that change? I appreciated it. Made me wish Jellico had been able to take command of Voyager for an episode.
