/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.

This sub is the best thing on Lemmy.

I mean at least htey have... oh, "enemy".

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago

My opening salvo would be firing neelix out of a torpedo tube. Hopefully that will distract them long enough for me to detonate my own warp core and hopefully take them with us.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

Captain "I can live with a little bit of old fashioned massmurder" is the enemy? I give up. Just disintegrate me now.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

If I could only make one change to this crew, I would jetison Keiko out an airlock.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Right? Neelix can cook and be head of security at the same time

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Sounds like a job for Tuvix

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Keiko would make a good chef, I think. She has experience with different kinds of cuisine.

Of course, she may not personally enjoy cooking some things, like a traditional Irish breakfast... But she would still make it taste good for the people who do like it (while constantly trying to get them to try literally anything else that's healthy)

And neelix knows how to be serious when it's needed. He would enjoy slam poetry and baking classes in an out-of-the-way area, but the moment the red alert is sounded, he's ready to go with a phaser in hand, and memories of the war.

I'll pass on The Sisko being my enemy. I do not want him to be my enemy. I choose life. He can live with it

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

Odo as chef is a better option

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah so far the only person who's tried her cooking is O'Brien and he's just a grump about food.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh, you don't have to tell me about O'Brien and his moods....

And don't ask what's in the buffers...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

What was it like having O'Brien inside you regularly?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

i never expected to still have such a visceral reaction to tgn twain, like if i ever hated anyone, it's him and judge judy

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

That voice...

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago

this made me want a show that's like Seinfeld but for the ship's counselor

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The first time we hear Neelix say "Well, hello Mister armed intruder" we'll either learn it was a surprisingly smart choice, or we'll need a new chief of security.

He does wear a red dicky under his smock, so I think he counts as a red shirt.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago

Neelix may have seemed like a bumbling fool, but yeah, he would be a solid choice as security officer. He had years of training under Tuvok, and actually ran point on quite a few of the stranger episodes in the later half of the series.

He rescued the crew a handful of times. So yeah. Neelix is a solid choice for security chief.

He'd perform there far better than as a diplomat. It seems like half the major conflicts the Voyager got into were because of Neelix. The rest were squarely on Janeway.

You can’t have Morn on coms! He’d never give the other party a chance to speak!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago

I was hoping it would be Dathon from "Darmok" on comms.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago

It's a matter of public record that Morn is quite the talker. Even Jahdzia Dax finds it difficult to get a word in. And we all know how much trill can talk... Each one has enough experience to fill a star ship's memory banks!

Every time someone shows up needing something from the person he's talking to, there's a 50/50 chance it was made up just to give them an out.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago

At least you'll eat healthy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Swap Kurn and Adami. I think that would be scarier.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

First contact managed by Kurn begins with a fight to test their worthiness, followed by a barrel of blood wine.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

The barrel of bloodwine is also a test of worthiness, since we learn in that episode of SNW that a bloodwine hangover is sufficient punishment for stealing a starship with Carol Kane.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Kurn would open diplomatic talks with a volley of photon torpedoes. If they survive the initial klingon hello and he likes the cut of their jib then, and only then, do the tests of worthiness begin.

Cetacean ops has been converted to a bloodwine vat for optimal diplomatic relations.

The 'Ritos dolphins are hanging out with Blazin' Bev too much.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

My thoughts exactly. Half the crew would rather jettison themselves out the airlock than go to Winn with a minor issue.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

I would watch this.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 weeks ago

In truth, if I am captain everyone is fubar!
