/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.

Oh! Good option!
Julian and Garak take first, second and third place.
You beat me to it.
Yo, only Picard and Q were shown on the same bed together.
Solid choice!
Julian and Miles feels the most real to me.
Kirk and Spock are a close second, but only because we saw that they love each other in their ways, but they didn't spend a ton of time chilling out together on screen (camping Yosemite was great though)
Harry and Tom third, they really had a good influence on each other and they spent a lot of holodeck time together in Sandrine's/Hawaii/Captain Proton/Fairhaven.
Julian and Garak was a lot of fun, but I think it's overshadowed by Miles. Lunches and holodecking is all well and good, but Julian would turn to Miles for real stuff (although when he turned 30 that was Garak...)
Sisko/Dax is good but it relies on Curzon a lot. The on screen time with Jadzia is focused more on how she's not Curzon, but they obviously still have a lot of love.
Geordi and Data is a little too mentor-y. Like they're friends, but Data is more relying on Geordi for a humanity check, and Geordi gets advice from elsewhere on women (for obvious reasons) and that undercuts the bromance level I think.
Nog/Jake are great, and I would put them higher except they're kids for most of the show and I feel like a bromance should probably be reserved for adults (kid friendships are different level). Although they do keep it up until adulthood if The Visitor is still accurate.
I guess Malcolm/Trip then, but honestly they thought they were going to die in a shuttle once but that's kinda it. Been awhile since I watched ENT. If anything Trip/Archer.
Odo and Quark have mutual respect, but there's too much antagonism to be a bromance.
And Neelix / Tuvok is non-existent. Tuvok can barely stand Neelix and only comes to grudgingly tolerate his antics after half of his personality is suppressed IIRC. The fact that Tuvok throws Neelix a bone and dances when he leaves is evidence he softened, but not that they were bros.
Malcom and Trip also had that hostage situation on Risa. Good times.
Odo and Quark are like a couple that's been married for 60 years and can barely stand each other. Yet, there's still love buried under that "Harumph."
A few of those are more frenemies.
I posit that "frenemies" are a subset of "bromances"
Fair point. I always thought of "bromance" as generally positive, but thinking about, say, Legolas and Gimli, there are some that straddle that line more than others.
Very fond of Boimlerford.
I can't believe I forgot about that one!!!
I know everyone was shipping these 2 from the first episode, but I like them best as classic Trek BFFs.
Julian and Miles forever!
Tuvix.
Vote for Kirk / Bones. Solid.
Geordi and Data will always be my favorite
I’m partial to Garrak, doing anything, but most screen bromances dance so it’s hard to pick just one. I’ve not seen Enterprise.
Dax and Sisko.
The Old Man is great in ever place she appears...
Neelix & Tuvok is my all time favourite.
