/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.

Nah, not quite. His character was built like a prey animal so he has heightened stress in general. If he was actively trying to avoid stress then he wouldn't have taken on the job of First Officer, wouldn't have stayed with Starfleet after the Battle of the Binary Stars, etc. He's the first of his kind that they've made first contact with so he's a fairly bold individual. The short trek elaborates more on that as it takes place when he's on Kaminar and contacting Georgiou.
He doesn't actively seek out stress but he doesn't run from it either.
His main thing was that he had a heightened sense of death and danger due to his being a 'prey species'. Just acted like a spooked horse most of the time. At least until his Vahari anyway.
Damn, ok I need to watch s1 again ๐
I don't blame you for skipping through it. Honestly, I usually do too. I'll stick to a few key episodes that are important or that I like but 95% of Star Trek shows have a weaker first season.
I can also see why you thought that. He is constantly nervous in the first season and first half of the second. It makes sense that you'd come to the conclusion he tries to avoid stress. I just happen to have most of Discovery memorized at this point. Half for love of it / half from years of watching scenes and reading episodes to refute some of the more insane criticisms that I hear people make.
๐คฃ My S1 recollections are most bad because I watched a black market copy I got from a Ferengi. If I remember correctly one episode was in German so I just relied on kinda sorta deciphering the French subtitles. (I don't speak French)
... Jesus lmao
