/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. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

It can be from any series, and if you want to pick a favorite from each show go ahead.

Picture very much related.

In the pale moonlight.

It humanizes Starfleet like no other episode.

"I can live with it. "

I really enjoyed the memed episode, but A Fistful of Datas was S Tier.

To people who think the Orville is better : it doesn’t have nearly the amount of memes or dedicated subs. Checkmate.

Memes are supposed to make us laugh, not cry! 😭

It's funny so many people picked Voyager episodes as their favorites. I remember when Voyager was supposedly "the bad Star Trek." I always liked it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

The issue with Voyager was that you could pretty much give any characters lines at the end of the show to any other character and it would still work. There was no real character arc, none of them grew. They were still basically the same people from the first episode.

Don't get me wrong, they did have some phenomenal characters (The Doctor), but overall, it was just... meh.

But hey, if you like it, you like it. It got seven seasons, so plenty of folks did.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I'm slowly making my way through DS9 at the moment and haven't thought about Voyager at all. Now maybe I'll give it a second chance (only saw it when it was on TV).

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I do remember people mocking DS9 and Voyager rather harshly, I wonder how my parent's old Official ^TM^star trek fan club group would weigh in? They used to discuss/debate the episodes while playing random games.

People hated on TNG when it came out.

Voyager 5.17 "Course: oblivion"

Hell of an ending.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

That episode always made me feel bad for the other crew. They didn't ask to be there, they had no way to know about their origin, but it didn't matter even a little. The ending is a bit of a gut punch.

Tos: Balance of Terror

Snw: Quality of Mercy, Subspace Rhapsody

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

All good choices.

I haven't gotten around to most of the new shows, but I look forward to the SNW episodes I've seen listed!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Deep Space 9, Season 1, Episode 19. Duet.

The acting, the plot, the character development. The ethical struggle in the episode and its resolution and the clear parallels to real world problems. I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it, because it unfurls in such a wonderful way that needs to be seen rather than summarized.

"He's Cardassian. That's reason enough."

"No!..... It's not...."

Good choice.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"You have no idea what it's like to be a coward." So much packed into that line: filled with self-hatred and shame, and also respect and admiration for the person in front of him and the people she sacrificed so much for.

I would pay a lot of money to see a political series focused on a sort of Cardassian Reconstruction era. I really ought to read some of the books.

Knowing you could have done something but were too afraid for your own life will eat you up for a very long time.

And the knowledge that it would ultimately accomplish nothing except killing yourself and a few bajorans while trying to escape doesn't help.

Everyone likes to think they'd fight the good fight, resist at all costs, oppose all force.... But ultimately until you're in that situation, you won't know for sure. And you don't want to find out for sure.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

There are so many, it's hard to say. Can I pick a favorite season?

DS9 Season 4:
E2 - The Visitor
E8 - Little Green Men
E10 - Our Man Bashir
E11 - Homefront
E12 - Paradise Lost
E16 - Bar Association E18 - Rules of Engagement
E25 - Body Parts

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Strong season!

Honestly I don't think I could pick just one episode from DS9. Or Voyager. Or lower decks. Or....

I'd say I have a handful of favorites for each of those that kind of jumble around.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Is "our man Bashir" the one where we meet the genetically modified people? I love that one, and the one where the come back "that's a stupid question" kills me.

Our Man Bashir is the James Bond holodeck episode.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Thanks, that one is also great

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Season 4 really is where DS9 starts smashing it out of the park isn't it.
