/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.

"When we met this adult man, he was dating a 2 year old. Let's have him babysit Naomi!"

There were definitely some episodes of Voyager where I couldn't stand Neelix, but I know if I had been on Voyager, I would have loved him. His role as "morale officer" might be a bit similar to Naomi being Captain's assistant, but I think he actually does a very good job

I love neelix lmao my adhd demands that I annoy people I like, like a real life colin robinson, and I respect neelix's game in that regard

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 day ago

I will not stand for this Neelix slander (sits down).

Neelix is a valuable memer of our crew

At first he was kinda dumb and ignorant and kinda little annoying and I actually enjoyed him becoming a better person and learning to help others in the ship besides his cooking skills.

He really does have the best character arc outside of the Fleet regulars. Gets over the jealously crap with Kes and Paris, deals with her leaving, removes a few atoms off the chip on Tuvok's shoulder, and regains Janeway's respect after some bonehead decisions.

He did save them from starvation.

one thing I never understood.

if the replicator can take stuff and turn it into energy (see that rant after... year of hell? with the stopwatch.) why the fuck did they never just find an empty system somewhere with some rocks floating around and scoop them up for the replicators to "recylcle"?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 28 minutes ago

I think it would take much more energy to grow the food they need than to just replicate it. That said, if I was stuck for 7 years in space, fresh fruits and vegetables would be the cheapest form of therapy.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

They run on energy, and they didn't have a place to refuel, so they had to ration their energy use.

Because plot contrivance is a Star Trek writer's prime directive

[–] [email protected] 3 points 21 hours ago

I remember they babbling about some reason (preserving their deuterium reserves, I think). But it's not one that makes sense.

Would I have accepted his weight in dilithium? Yes. Could I have filled the empty void in my heart? Never.
