/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Meanwhile, the Romulans:
"I FART IN YOUR GENERAL DIRECTION!!!"
Silly federation kniggits.
"Must be a king!"
"Why do you say that?"
"Well, he doesn't have shit all over him."
Have to say I prefer the Queen over Trump/Vance.
At least she admits she's evil.
'We're the Borg of the Round Table"
And this is the Holy Hand Grenade of Andorra
When they added the Borg "queen", I was really bummed - because I had definitely thought of them as an autonomous collective.
I kind of hope they retcon that at some point.
In my head the justification for all of that is that the queen arose as a necessity to have a single individual for the crew of the Enterprise to interact with. This required her to have a certain amount of autonomy from the collective consciousness, the end result was that she turned into a bit of a dictator and because she had control over the collective she essentially took over without much fight. This would have been obvious to anyone else that this was a possibility, but the Borg had no experience of individuality in the collective before that, so the concern never occurred to them.
Eventually she died and the collective were released from her, and now they are back to being a hive mind. A hive mind that has learned not to do that again.
The reason seven of nine did not become like that was because the queen knew that that was a possibility, and so kept her largely connected so she could to a large extent control her.
The borg dystopia is the best dystopia.
I'm 37.
Well I can't just call you "Borg."
Bjorn?
You could say 3 of 7.
I didn't know you were called 3 of 7!
Well you didn't ask, did you?
I did say 'sorry' about the 'old robot', but from the behind you looked--
What I object to is that you automatically treat me like an individual.
Well I am captain!
“Listen. Strange women, hanging from the ceiling, distributing skin, is no basis for a system of government.”
I didn't know we had a queen - I thought we were an anarcho-syndicalist collective?
You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship: a self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working drones...
HELP! HELP! I'M BEING UNASSIMILATED!!
The workers actually think they're in charge... even while they are not allowed by the GroupThink to have a single thought that runs counter to the collective will.
