/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 or fascism. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable, neither is supporting people who actively want to kill those groups. 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.

Andrew Robinson said he played Garak as omnisexual and attracted to Bashir. Alexander Siddig has described himself as "not quite straight" and both have played the roles unofficially as there being a relationship.
We see a tiny fraction of the characters' lives. A portion of a 45-minute episode. For all we know, they walked hand-in-hand down the promenade every day for months as everyone commented on what a cute couple they made. We just never saw it on screen.
And I think the choices of the actors matter.
This is where Garak and Bashir first meet. You watch this and tell me it isn't a meet cute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTeJKg8Yf4A
What's that phrase about "frightened but aroused"?
That.
I recently discovered this superior version of that scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZR1zgRYL530
Haha, very well. I stand corrected. It does make Garak a little less mysterious in my mind but thats just fine.
