/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.

Burke was a horrible racist and bigot who went against the entire point of the academy. If I can see her as an awful bigot, in her futuristic society she must have been the equivalent of a klan member. She was a horrible person through her entire existence and we're supposed to like her cause she redeemed herself in the last 10 seconds? Nah she sucks. Also she wasn't really a proper character, just a racist Alara clone
In all fairness alot of it stemmed from the fact she watched her partner die after they were betrayed by a supposedly ally - trust from that wouldn't come back quickly.
Would have liked to see the series carry on a bit more though
amanda wasn't her partner, she was a crush that she never approached
she wasn't on the Orville, so Isaac wasn't an ally to her - just a bumfuck rando sleeper agent on another ship. One who turned against his own people to stop an armada, which meant precisely jack and shit to her self involved pain.
I get that. But if she's that compromised, she should never have been on active duty and serving alongside the race she was prejudice against.
Extention level threat, qualified officer, not injured who can serve. Predjiced against said event.
100% would be allowed to stay.
Frustratingly, her entire kaylon aggro arc would have worked spectacularly with Gordon. They dropped a couple of aborted hints to this end.
Gordon was such a badass and a great character, so happy we're getting a new season
Badass???
By the end of the series he had proven himself tougher than anyone in that crew.
