/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.

there is less focus on problems with the ship

Except for adding holodeck issues to the transporter issues.

A lot of “no duh” stuff that was already going to be addressed in the following series.

Honestly thought it was going to be DC Fontana demanding more progressiveness and biting commentary.

She deserves to be called Dorothy. She used the initials because she wouldn’t be able to get any writing jobs as a woman with an obvious woman’s name. DS9 actually made some commentary on this with Nana Visitor’s pulp writer character in Far Beyond the Stars. She was an obvious reference to Dorothy.

Edit: Stupid voice-to-text

Okay.

But that’s like getting upset at someone calling the former President “JFK.”

“He deserves to be called John.”

Most people know her as DC Fontana.

Though I groked the reality of Kira’s alter ego in FBtS, I didn’t realize she was suppose to be a reference to Fontana. Been putting off a compete franchise rewatch for a long while now, guess I need to get into it.

I'm not sure why you think I'm upset. I'm saying she deserves the respect she never got in life.

(Why do people just assume they know your emotions over a text-based medium?)
