/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.

Once again Robert Picardo carries the entire show on his shoulders, like Atlas holding up the heavens.

Him and Colm Meaney are the linchpins of their respective shows.

I know right? Where would the enterprise have been without their transporter chief!

I think this was my favorite Voyager episode

It’s definitely undersung.

The ending, when everything is finally realized and the truth is played back for the audience, always make me sad. It was an unavoidable loss and the Doctor wasn’t at fault no matter how much he wishes he were.

I really appreciate the Star Trek episodes that don just hit the reset button but rather show the beginning of a long road to recovery. It gives the contents of the episode weight and validity.

Meanwhile, O'Brien shows no signs of PTSD after, well, everything.

[–] AppleTea@lemmy.zip 3 points 14 hours ago

O'Brien crashing out would have been a much better long term setup and payoff than putting the dax worm in a different actor.

He got a massive golden statue. What does he have to complain about? Keiko on the other hand just got forgotten.

He got a massive gold(en?) statue.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 1 points 11 hours ago

Dukat saved lives, and yet O'Brian got a Golden Statue, whatever did he do to deserve that? Doesn't seem fair!

[–] kieron115@startrek.website 0 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I mean he did try to eat a phaser.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

In that episode. Never mentioned again. No lasting effects. Sure he's a stalwart fellow, but still.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

Guinness. Every goddamn day.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

That’s how Tuvok survived Neelix.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

This is the daydream he relives in his head constantly:

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

In that book which is
My memory...
On the first page
That is the chapter when
I first met you
Appear the words...
Here begins a new life.

I loved this Episode.

Heartbreaking and so well performed by all.
