/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.

We all talk about Tuvix and the weird salamander babies, but no one mentions the time they created doppelgangers of the entire crew on the demon planet and never spoke of it again.

They actually did follow up, and the episode was one of the better ones:

Though between "Demon" and "Course Oblivion" that's a good question. We don't see Voyager itself getting duplicated, so I guess they spent the time building it out of rocks and then forgetting they were duplicates.

Tap for spoilerI thought the ship was cloned, too. That’s why it was melting/falling apart. The mimetic material they’re all made of couldn’t handle space travel, the ship included.

I think they found some magical way to boost the warp drive that ended up fucking them up. That’s how they managed to:

It was, and I remember that too. Was just being farcical...

But we know what happened to them. They returned to their natural state.

I'm guessing OP hasn't finished watching Voyager..

Well, they couldn't be bothered to keep track of how many crew were still living, anyways. Season 1 was all about it and then the writers just started using chicken guts to consult the augurs.
