/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.

Every time I watch season 2 I hope, somehow, that Vedic Bareil will get elected Kai. It was a last minute flip-flop in the writer's room anyway:

Although the writing staff of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine had spent almost the entirety of the show's second season planning to make Bareil the new kai, electing Winn to that position was a last-minute decision. "We were all sitting in the room," recalled Robert Hewitt Wolfe, "and it occurred to us, 'God, we could […] make Winn the kai. That's a scary idea!'"

I'm glad the did make her Kai. I hate her, but she was great

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 6 months ago

I do too, she was a great villain to the point that I can't help but to root against her. And I love that the writers knew they wouldn't want to live in the world they were creating.

That's an awesome detail!

This is what I'm loving about DS9 ...... good people don't always win, just like in real life. It's the same logic from the famous Picard quote:

“It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life.”

Watching the stories in DS9 unfold knowing that good things won't always happen makes the whole series so grounded and relatable.

I'm on season three now and thoroughly enjoying it all.

BREATHES IN

My child, that is the power of the prophets, not a headache.

The Kosst Amojan, child

If the Prophets wanted me to step down, surely they would've told me so.

[–] kaitco@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

sends the entire Bajoran army after you for trying to get her to step down…

God ..... she's so good I felt like throwing my phone against the wall. Everyone should have a Kai Winn in their lives, to make you momentarily miserable and allow you to appreciate the rest of your life

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 3 points 6 months ago

I think we all do, that's why we hate the character so much it taps into visceral hate we've developed in reality

[–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

She's such a well-written and wonderfully acted holier-than-thou character and villain that you could believe Stephen King wrote every line of her dialogue.
