TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

Even under all that prosthesis, he carries that expression of having to give in to her whims with the weight of 100 gross self-sealing stem bolts.
It's great watching the show ... there is so much going on with serious topics, reflections on society, connections to current events (then and now) and actors that are creating characters that are growing on me. I always saw the Lwaxana's character as terribly over the top and I didn't like it ... now I see her as a terribly over the top character and I love it. Mixed with Picard in TNG I thought it was silly ... now seeing her with Odo is even more silly and off the wall and it's completely fun to watch. I'm also slowly watching TOS and to see Majal playing Nurse Chapel way back then amazes me to know that she was part of the franchise for so long.
I'm truly appreciating her a lot more now .... it's no wonder they refer to her as the First Lady of Star Trek.
I mean, I'm pretty sure being married to Gene Roddenberry was a factor, too...
No doubt .... she started off her career by having an affair with a married Roddenberry when he was starting a new show called Star Trek. At the same time she suddenly becomes a leading co star in the pilot of the new show. Whoever did what, it involved a lot of messy bodily fluids.
I had a bit of contempt for all this when I first read about it regarding The Original Series. I thought she was a loud drama queen when I saw her in TNG and now seeing her playing up and embracing that history and that image in DS9 ... I now have a new found respect for her. Instead of fading into the shadows with all that stigma, she put on the biggest wig she could find, put on a beautiful dress, covered up in makeup and smiled as hard as she could to the world.
Lwaxana's continued presence in DS9 let us see what went on behind her outlandishness. The manic and unhindered spirit who goes through her own hardships, making her more than some caricature to torment Picard. Not that we don't otherwise revel in those moments.
