/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.

Can somebody please explain the reason behind Keiko hate?
- Poor chemistry between two of the best actors on the show
- the most prominent example of a married couple in Trek, which includes some communication issues and as such appears more negative
- she's often seen as shrill or unwilling to compromise toward O'Brien's duties to Starfleet
- more than 1 instance of pushing her dietary preferences despite his not liking it (he does try though)
There's probably more, but it boils down to weak writing and characterization. But mostly, it's for the memes.
Poor chemistry between two of the best actors on the show
The woman who plays Keiko is one of the best actors on the show? Jeez, you'd never know it from how the writers used her...
Think of it like Joffrey in Game of Thrones, if there's a character portrayed as unlikeable and you agree, they're doing their job. That aside, she's done some solid VO, plus her roles in What Dreams May Come and 3 Body Problem.
What Dreams May Come, fuck :(
My wife and I always blame O'brien (at least in TNG. Haven't watched the other series he's in).
Dude marries a woman and proceeds knows basically nothing about her family/culture.
Yeah, never understood where the attraction originated. Her first appearance on TNG is for their damned wedding! No build-up, just blam. Now, I'd be remiss if I didn't recommend watching DS9, which is the series where O'Brien gets his spot in the sun. From where we leave them in TNG and pickup at the station, is a whole other story. Through the good and bad, worth its weight in latinum.
Definitely been on my list. Just never got around to it.
My guess, it's because they don't have a lot of chemistry in DS9, and he acts "O'brien is always sad" when around her.
Just jokes
I still can't get over the time Keiko made some Asian food and O'Brien was like "This isn't Irish enough. Where's the potatoes?"
To be fair it was something like plankton and kelp salad, I can see how one might yearn for some taters instead
I would pay folding money for a show staring Viggo as Aragorn in Star Fleet
No matter the setting I’d run through a brick fucking wall if he asked me
She will never forgive me for making her my mother's potato casserole.
