/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.

Do they ever show Data playing poker with the emotion chip? I don't recall seeing a poker game in the movies...

I only ask because in TNG they show Data not being able to tell all the time when someone is bluffing. So I'm wondering if that got better when he has emotions...

The only instances that might come close I found...

TNG

All Good Things..." — Season 7, Episodes 25–26 (1994) Star Trek: Picard came to an end in a manner very familiar to fans of TNG. After closing down Guinan's bar in 24th century Los Angeles, the former crew of the USS Enterprise-D settled into a game of poker. In the TNG finale specifically, Picard finally joins the poker game for the first time, with Data dealing

Star Trek: Picard

"Remembrance" — Season 1, Episode 1 (2020) Jean-Luc Picard sits down with Data for a friendly game of poker and a spot of tea, but the showdown yields unbelievable results for the retired Admiral. This is a dream/simulation sequence set at the very start of the series. Paramount+

"The Last Generation" — Season 3 Finale (2023) The credits rolled with the lifelong friends laughing and happily talking with each other as Jean-Luc Picard dealt a fresh hand of cards at a final poker game reuniting the TNG crew — including Data (now in a new android body).

I certainly don't remember those episodes in detail, but I suspect they didn't spend a ton of time on it
