/c/TenFoward: 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. 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.

So you're saying, her prime directive was getting her crew home safely?
I love Janeway to death, it's just that she was put into the unenviable position of making tough choices for the needs of the many... or the brew.
No, her prime directive was keeping her crew stranded and actively finding any pretentious moral excuse to pretend to justify it
If the show was realistic, she would have died very early on during a mutiny.... and Chakotay wouldn't be one of the most shocking racist characters I've seen in an 90's/2000's era TV show
Sorry, can you elaborate on the first paragraph? It's been many years since I watched voyager.
Basically, Janeway would often get an offer "Do this and we'll send you and your crew back to where you come from." or a warning "Don't do this or we won't be able to send you and your crew back where you came from!"
And it always ended in Janeway going "I can't do this, it goes against everything I stand for!" or "But I MUST do this, not doing it goes against everything I stand for."
Even if the thing she "MUST DO or her crew won't go back home" is in direct contradiction with what she "MUST NOT DO or her crew can't go back her." last episode
Basically Janeway kept flip-flopping on her morals to the point where it legitimately seemed like she was TRYING to leave her crew stranded in a territory where she was actively making enemies of pretty much every faction she came across.
