/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 feel, as villains go, Dukat and Kilgrave are similar. What you’re talking about is his depth as a character. The best villains have depth, spiraling down and understanding just how bad they are is great.
And then there’s Winn. Historically, religion has been a difficult play in fiction, getting a little too black and white in many cases, such that the depth is not there. Many works lack depth. DS9 manages to pull it off. It’s part of why it’s the best of the series(es?) out there.
Winn feels like “there was an attempt”. The religion worked, but she wasn’t fleshed out enough. Her deal is I’m trying to have faith, but I’m not sure I do because the prophets don’t believe in me, so I’ll go for the power instead. There’s spite there, which is ordinary and boring. Gets better final season, but it wasn’t quite there for making a great character. She serves the plot and that is all.
