/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.

Wait-a-minute Wednesday: To draw attention towards a situation or decision which bares further scrutiny.
For example: the crew of the Defiant not stopping Captain Sisko from committing acts of terrorism in order to prevent other atrocities being carried out by the Maquis.
So let's dig up the decidedly bone-head commands made by any characters throughout the Continuum, aside from the tried and true Tuvixian methodology. Or do, just provided there's a fresh/skewed take to be had.
Letting a sentient species die from geological events to follow the prime directive violates the very spirit of the directive.
I get they don’t want to play god, but to see a light be avoidably extinguished by chance doesn’t feel like it celebrates life.
Are we talking about "Into Darkness"?
I figure there, Kirk wasn't in trouble for saving the species, he was in trouble for revealing the Enterprise just to save one officer.
If we're not talking about "Into Darkness", then I've just illustrated how often Trek goes for this plot point, lol.
They're almost certainly talking about the TNG episode "Pen Pals" where data makes friends with a little girl whose planet is dying.
Dear Doctor, too. You're allowed to interfere if they ask you to, and the Prime Directive hadn't even been made yet.
Especially when the rest of the time it's, "fuck the Prime Directive, they're going to die!"
