TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/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.

For a minute there I forgot Communist Himbo was even in DS9. I should probably re-watch it after I"m done with Voyager, it's been a good 20 years.
Can you please remind me what character was the Communist himbo? Was it supposed to be Gul Dukat?
It’s Worf. “Communist” because he grew up in Russia.
I don't know if Russia or indeed all of Earth was communist when Worf grew up, but the whole Klingon Empire was widely recognized by people of the 20th century as resembling the Soviet Union, which was nominally communist during the Cold War era of original Trek. Memory Alpha even mentions it. Mostly just because they were "the bad guys" I suppose.
The Klingons are a fairly obvious metaphor for the Soviet Union during TOS, right through to Star Trek VI.
In TNG, they largely stopped serving that purpose, though Roddenberry wanted Worf’s presence to indicate that the Federation had moved on from the war with the Klingons, similar to how the Cold War was coming to a close in real life.
(At that point, I don’t think they had worked out Worf’s backstory about being a Federation citizen from Russia.)
Wtf? I never heard of that association, is that a Reagan thing?
