/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.

Aren't they supposed to be even more emotional than humans by nature, with the logic thing being a result of having a cultural emphasis on repressed emotions and rational thinking? It doesn't seem too absurd for people in those circumstances to use any outlet for emotional expression they can that doesn't come with loss of social status.
Yes, that's exactly right. Their aggressive base natures resulted in both a nuclear holocaust on Vulcan and Romulans going into (probably self-) exile. At some point in there, Surak came along and brought Vulcan into a golden age with the embrace of logic and the purging of emotion.
The Vulcans should listen to their friend Lloyd Braun.
Serenity? That's a different sci-fi series.
Yeah because he's going to dump all his negative emotions into you instead and turn you into a crazy old person.
Dang, his Seinfeld and TNG characters meld together well. Someone make a meme for us in !tenforward@lemmy.world.
Edit: no I got the wrong telepathic negotiator who ties up with Troi. Never mind!
Good recall. Oh, it's that episode.
Edit: per your correction, it's from s3e8 "The Price"
Nice. Who wore it better?
They are all stunning.
Honestly, with how racist Vulcans are constantly, and all the corruption in the High Command we see in Enterprise, I think it's much more likely the Romulans were forced off of "Vulcan"
It's entirely possible. We don't even know when they left though. Did they leave because they rejected Surak and either were forced off or voluntarily left because fuck that noise? Did they leave before that but after the nuclear war or wars? Did they leave even before that?
And if they did leave because they rejected Surak, was it immediate or was it an anti-Surak movement that grew over time?
We just don't have enough information. Especially not considering it was so long ago that Vulcans forgot that the whole event even happened.
