/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

Coincidentally, I’ve been rewatching Doctor Who and yesterday I watched the 2nd episode of the revival where they go to the end of the world watch party. The manager of the place was in his office and one of the mini saboteur spider robots showed up and pressed one key on his keyboard that opened the safety screen stopping the sun from cooking anyone in the room.
Why does the ship have a retractable safety screen? Why can it be lowered with a single key press from an office computer? If it can be lowered that easily why couldn’t he raise it again just as easily?
It’s Doctor Who, so none of these are remotely relevant questions, but I found this quite funny.
To be fair the safety screen is like sunglasses. Sometimes you need them and sometimes it makes things hard to see. But yeah he should have just hit the button or dived under three desk.
RTD Doctor Who usually operates on cartoon logic. The Doctor is smart and can do clever things sure. But pushing radiation from his body into his shoe and tossing it in the garbage. That's Bugs Bunny stuff.
