/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

They were going to kill off Harry when they introduced 7 of 9. But then People Magazine put Garrett Wang on a sexy men list, so they killed Kes instead.
The really crazy thing is the fallout from that. Originally they were going to add a male Borg, but since they were now eliminating a female character, they instead cast Jerri Ryan, who was married to an Illinois Republican. The time separate put a strain on their marriage and they divorced. When her husband ran for Senate, he looked like a shoe in. But when the media got their divorce records unsealed, there was some embarrassing things that led to him dropping out late in the race, clearing the way for an upstart state senator Barack Obama to be elected instead.
So, in effect, People Magazine editors thinking Harry Kim was sexy lead to the Obama presidency.
You are being a ways to kind to Jeri's ex-husband. He tried to force her to go to various sex clubs to fuck in public and was generally emotionally manipulative.
That's what torpedoed his political career and made way for Obama in federal politics.
It's no promotion, but it's something.
