/c/TenForward: 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.

As far as Riker knew, this ensign basically killed the 8 other members of her away team. She was only pardoned because Starfleet needed her. She informed Riker and Picard that she didn't want to be there, and the only reason she accepted the assignment was because it was better than prison.
He threw the book at her because, as far as he knew, she was a despicable person deserving of far worse.
It was later discovered that the deaths were not her fault, and Picard and Riker both treated her with tolerance and respect.
And when she does actually ask Picard about the earring at the end, they don't even give Patrick Stewart a line, because it's obvious she's going to be allowed to wear it
