/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.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

In fairness, Picard was presented as one of the greatest men of his generation. He was not at all intended to be average, even among starship captains, which is already a pretty elite group.
is he? being your favorite captain is not equivalent to the claim above.
Being the captain of the flagship of Starfleet and being the designated the Starfleet representative for MOST of the diplomatic achievements of his era certainly does suggest that the authorities of his era certainly made this assessment. Having actually saved Humanity, NUMEROUS other species, and the entire concept of biological life in the entire universe during his tenure makes it an objective reality.
he was good leader who was not afraid to surround himself with other smart people and utilize their expertise. that doesn't mean he is some superhuman who mastered every scientific field in existence.
Who said he was? Did you reply to the wrong comment?
bye, sealion...
Ah yes, the logical fallacy of "noticing that the other person can't read." Good catch.
