/c/TenForward: 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.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

I appriciate your well written respose. I have not seen all trek, especially not TOS.
the thing that I do have beef with is the pegasus interpretation. The issues you may have with kirk etc are about one person, or your interpretation of "standard procedure" for Starfleet.
With pegasus, it's that the treaties with the federation aren't worth the paper they're written on, because the whole operation is run by black ops. Sisko bombing planets is just the cherry on top.
I think my POV is biased by the episodes I watched as a teen and the viewpoint that I formed then : this is an optimistic utopian future, and for once, the characters are geniunely good, and put in hard situations and come out on top while behaving with honor. The backstabbing, planet bombing etc takes that away and makes me sad.
