/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 isn't a criticism of Majel Barrett, but it didn't "take" 3 actresses to play her roles, those were just hiring decisions.
Do you really think they would have decided to hire one actor for all three roles? And yeah, it kind of is a criticism because the point is she had that much range as an actress, playing multiple iconic characters which people have no problem keeping separate in their minds rather despite all being played by one person.
It wouldn't have to take a dozen actors to replace Jeffrey Combs either... but good luck finding one actor to replace all of his roles.
Do I really think what? No I don't, I didn't say that,. and the question doesn't even make sense.
Let's look at a Spock - to my knowledge 3 actors have played adult Spock in movies and TV shows and at least two have played him in games. Clearly this doesn't reflect on Leonard Nimoy's acting ability in any way, Casting choices are based on all kinds of factors. I know some people think anyone who isn't jumping up and down waving pompoms is the enemy, which is why I prefaced my comment by saying it wasn't meant as a criticism of Majel Roddenberry. If you can't accept that as honest... whatever dude.
