I don't know how exploding consoles didn't make the list, but they would be a distant second to Rick Berman.

/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.

I came here to say this. I get that they use fucking plasma in their electrical systems, but you'd think some step-down transformers and circuit breakers could be installed. And why the hell do the defense systems feed back into the main power grid? Why isn't there a capacitor bank to dump feedback into for reuse in the weapons or something?
I saw someone say a good reason for the consoles exploding all the time is that they wouldn't have I clouded breakers, because, in a red alert situation, the console staying on and responsive is more important than it not exploding

Trick question. It's polarity.
What if everything in the Star Trek universe was just one grand holodeck simulation and everything we've seen them go through in all the shows, all the movies, all the animations and all the books were just a runaway holodeck program that some junior officer made.
And it turns out the actual Star Trek universe is a lonely empty experience as their ships go wandering around nearby star systems and haven't met any other species yet. It's just a boring repetitive experience that leaves everyone feeling a deep sense of Galactic loneliness as it will take them many centuries of exploration before they eventually meet another species .... and also a species that is not humanoid or familiar to us at all.
Ah, so “realistic” space travel, where 100 years later, they’re still on their way to the first Star system and the most critical technology is how to pass the time
"From you Dante"
Oh, right!
Inhales
Ok....wait, hear me out
Exhales
what if that's how Discovery ends?

We're still not sure if all of DS9 is in the shattered mind of an insane 1940's writer or not.

Q is not a villain!
I always thought of him as a bored god annoying one specific creation. Like the book of job but sci-fi!

Kai Winn with Gul dukat in a super close second.
"My child" came out of Rick Bermans mind before it came out Kai Winns mouth.
Far from his only sin in trek, and not his worst, but it is enough. The source of evil is clear.
the people writing the scripts for the show. they can stop all evil in the show, but they choose to create it instead. without them, all evil in the show wouldn't exist. so they are the real evil mastermind behind it all!

Q isn't a villain.
The worst villain is most certainly Paramount and the writers on the new shows.
Depending on our definition of best, I'm going to vote Worf's parenting, clearly the most devastating.
Once again, poor Jeremy Aster was forgotten about. lol Alexander isn't the only kid Worf abandoned.

Berman is the worst lol
Why doesn't species 8472 get villain love?
I wouldn't call them a villain, personally. They were a species trying to slap the Borg back home and became aware of our space. They saw us working with the Borg and started to prep for an invasion of Earth. But after diplomatic relations with Starfleet they realize that Earth may pose some threat but had ZERO interest in starting a war with any species, much less a species they'd never even heard of before.
Borg for me.
I wonder if there's any psychology behind responses to this question... While I genuinely love the idea of becoming a cyborg, the thought of becoming part of a collective that thinks as one is kinda horrifying to me as someone who works in a creative field.

Berman. He cut a swath of sadness through many series.
Not the Vidiians? Those people harvesters were terrible. They didn't care who they violated.
Kinda like Rick Berman.
I feel like Darth Maul should be on the list, just to demonstrate the level of anger inspired by people mixing the two series.
