/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 we try something? Upvote the best captain! Not necessarily the one you liked the best. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I have made a reply with each Captain's name. This is not a popularity contest. This is a Leadership contest. Who is/was the best captain?

Upvote your choice(s). Comment on your choices if you like, explaining your rational... or don't comment if you don't like.

PLEASE, do not comment negatively on any captain. Let the love flow for these captains. Positivity please.

Lastly, if you know a captain I missed and you want to add them, feel free! There are a lot I didn't include because I just tried to hit the major franchises, but there are certainly some worth mentioning.

P.S. I'm not a student of Trek or even that smart, just a fan trying something, so if I screw it up please forgive.

With ranked approval voting, we can still do the right thing and up vote all except for Archer. Heh.

Archer was a great captain when he needed to be. They all were.

Also, Jellico is not one of the options and I couldn't vote for him the necessary one billion times, so this is all bogus.

Archer was a great captain when he needed to be.

True! Archer was absolutely a great captain on many occasions.

But I still think he's still objectively the worst. He did it first...and worst.

Even with having that stupid dog reconned into being teleported into atoms, I'm still mad about his dog going on away missions.
