/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.

Narrator:
Martok was not as amused with the joke as Buster was.
My mom told me wine went bad and I legitimately thought once you opened it you had to finish the bottle
Wine does go bad. Vodka does not.
Well yeah, even 24 hours later it picks up and oxidized flavor (port-like) and becomes a shadow of its former glory. So no, it’s not gonna get you sick, but you should definitely finish it the night you open it for maximum enjoyment.
The flavor is noticeably worse after just a few hours
Good wine improves flavor in the first hour. And maintains for longer too.
I mean, it does have a shelf life once opened.
Eight months before my grandfather passed, I bought a bottle of chateau Picard. I thought since he liked TNG and wine, he’d share it with me. Wasn’t to his liking. He told me to finish it fast. By the end of the week it tasted awful.
EDIT: There was sediment at the bottom of the bottle which formed.
Sediment isn't an indicator of quality. It's OK for even very fine wine to have some, they are usually tanins that crystallize. The only way to really tell wine quality is serving it.
that's when you use it for cooking!
granted, I probably opened the bottle for cooking to begin with. I'm not very good at the whole alcoholic thing.
I've always been so very disappointed the writers didn't do more to explore drunk seven shenanigans during the series
It was already the 7th season, though she does become a full blown alcoholic by Picard.
It's one bottle of vodka (hiccup), Harry. How much could it cost? 10 replicator rations?
I am so looking forward to having Janeway stand in for Lucille when she insults Lindsay (to be played by Seven, naturally).
Unless Seven is running a still in her alcove... or something.... that vodka is synthhol anyways.
oh. wait. Borgs can't hold their fake booze
She doesn't produce the enzyme to break down synthehol like normal humans as a result of her early Borg assimilation. It's a great plot point in the episode being referenced.
Edit: You caught on before I posted.
yeah. I remembered that detail a second after hitting post
Though I'd have to say it's a pretty silly plot point. The idea that borg nanites can somehow install extremely complicated implants and control people but can't deal with a little fake-booze is amusing
Janeway: Tuvok, B'Elanna, go down to engineering and convert all the photon torpedoes into giant hyposprays, replicate as much vodka as you can, and fill 'em up. We're about to show the Borg what a Tuesday night was like when I was at the Academy.
Best not to delve too greedily and too deep on such matters.
I mean, it's star trek. The level of "science" in the science fiction is on par with star wars, and star wars wasn't even trying.
But like. The borg could have been really easy to deal with if you just got them all drunk. But trying to drink a borg under the table is how Picard winds up getting the Queen knocked up.
(alright I think I have the next lower decks episode...)
This gif confuses me, where is it from?
That SNL skit was actually pretty damn funny, but only if you're at least mildly familiar with 70s celebrity panel game shows
