/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.

This image made me realize that Sisko is the only one of the big 4 shows' captains that has a any sort of relationship with his kid. 3/4 are absent parents.
Sisko had to, because one if those 3/4 blew up his wife.
Alexander's mother died too. Worf still went out for blood cigarettes and never came back.
To be fair, Kirk and Janeway don't have any kids (not counting the lizard babies) as far as I'm aware. And Picard wasn't even told about his son until waaaaay later. Plus, that only came out in Picard so I don't think it counts lol
Kirk has an adult son named David in Wrath of Khan and Search for Spock. And despite knowing about him, Kirk stayed out of his life. David didn't even know Kirk was his dad until it's revealed in Wrath of Khan.
Kirk didn't know about him until he met David and Carol on ~~Regula I~~ the Genesis Cave.
From Star Trek II.
So it's not fair to blame Kirk for not being in David's life. As soon as he knew David existed, he tried to have a relationship with him and when David was killed, he was clearly devastated to the point of hating Klingons so much that he was almost responsible for war because of it.
Ah, I misremembered that scene. I had been thinking that he was talking about staying away from David, not staying away from her, and that he'd said something about not seeing David in fifteen years.
Those dang poor lizard babies.
On the other hand, would you want a mother as crazy as Janeway? She'd probably put you in the pattern buffer to punish you.
It's the key to parenting. She learned it from O'Brien.
Counterpoint:
Anyone else puts you in the pattern buffer, she singlehandedly takes over their galaxy and begins mass execution until you're safe.
Woman made a clown piss himself for daring touch what's hers.
Conan? 😛
Conan O’Brien was so good on DS9
Freeman and Mariner have a relationship. It’s strained at times, but it’s there. (And if you’re counting Jack, then Lower Decks is worth counting, too.)
