/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.

"Since you were robbed of Tasha, I will do I can in her stead."
goes off to fuck Data
fucks him too hard
"Well shit. He ain't fully functional now!"
remind me, where is this quote originally from?
LOTR, Return of The King. Filthy tomatoe eater talks to his needy son.
Well, that's my new favurite description of that scene.
Thank you. I basically had the scene in my head but without faces.
Love this crossover. I wait to see more like this.
I'm sorry, but Tasha was a terrible actress. No, I do not wish this in the slightest.

Were talking about Wesley Crusher here though
I don’t think she was a bad actress, but she was “cluttering up” the bridge. Worf was always a far more interesting character and, once she was gone, Worf got to shine brighter.
Worf didn't even have an interesting backstory in the first season. He was just the Klingon in the crew and was sometimes kind of stuffy. Tasha's backstory of being from the rape planet was incredibly cringe, though, and they didn't spend any of her nearly two dozen episodes fleshing her out beyond that while Worf spent the first season accumulating minor quirks.
Tasha was a security officer so it makes sense that she isn’t a great actress. Look at Riker and his middling trombone abilities as another example of Starfleet “excellency”.
I mean, he's an XO on the lead ship, I wouldn't expect his musical abilities to be fantastic.
In that kind of environment, you plays with whos you can get. What matters more is willingness to commit, despite being middling and not having lots of time free. I'd expect that band to have rotating members on any given week based on who's free.
Its not like they have the Starfleet Orchestra on board, just like professional military bands don't generally go cruising on a warship - that's mot their MOS.
Keep in mind the writers could've written him as a virtuoso (they could've dubbed a pro playing), but that would change the character and environment. It seems we're supposed to see him as a "middling" player, who just enjoys it to the best of his ability, and was never going to be a pro.
And to quote others - practice time would interfere with his bangin' time. A man's gotta choose.
Its not like they have the Starfleet Orchestra on board
Hahahahaha fine, dammit, take my upvote.
It's difficult to practice trombone enough to get good when banging everything in sight.
Tbf, his partners do seem to enjoy it:-).
Difficult to trombone when you’ve got a tromboner
Too horny to be horn-y.
These identities have been changed in order to protect the witnesses. (The real conversation was b/t Worf & Alexander)
Time for Ensign Crusher, helmsman of the Enterprise, to show his quality.
The subspace beacons are lit!
