/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.

That's probably why they hate each other
*hat
I have no notes.
I, for one, welcome the anti-time anomaly.
By whose standard? Why does that person/group have the authority to impose their standards on other races? If it is might makes right (Q race being more powerful), that in itself is similar enough to the core argument that it calls into question whether the argument is valid to begin with.
Q makes a lot more sense if you consider the whole thing to be a charade. He doesn't have any intention of killing Picard or any of his crew, or even stopping them on their mission. He does want to put on a show for the rest of the Q continuum to demonstrate the humanity won't revert to their worst impulses under stress.
Likely, what he ultimately wants is a solution against the Borg. They're a tricky one for the Q to deal with in more direct ways. Something like how Gandolf can't directly attack Sauron at full power, because when gods fight, the world tend to break apart.
Q is omnipotent. If he wanted them gone he could snap his fingers and they're gone.
Instead he summons a mariachi band and randomly fucks with Picard.
Think Q get in trouble when they do that with each other
The cruel and savage in question:
Well, races are made by breeding individuals in order to create a group with common traits (such as bulldogs, for dogs). And so it implies livestock...
Humanity isn't the livestock of some intelligence that would control its breeding.
Therefore, humanity is a crual and savage wild specie...
What year AD was it when judges are supposed to dress like that?
