/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.

this is why she got "admiraled"-- so she'd stop fucking with the timeline.

in at least 1 alternate universe, it didn't work, which is how we ended up in this one.

We should be so lucky that's all she did. Most of the time it goes the other way.

well, let's not forget that she also tore a hole in the universe just to go to war with Species 8472 on behalf of the Borg... so, yeah...

Of course, of course. I was only speaking from the position of admirals tending to become badmirals. All Admiral Janeway did was violate the Temporal Prime Directive in order to use future tech to upgrade Voyager's defensive/offensive systems and commit genocide with a deadly neurolytic pathogen just to get everyone home several years earlier.

Janeway defeated the Borg by being such an inconstant hypocrite, they simply couldn't adapt.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Starfleet spent all those resources randomizing their phaser frequency... Who would expect the real path to victory was randomizing their captains' personalities!

I take it you haven’t seen Prodigy yet.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Did Janeway really have over 17 separate violations, or was she going for quality over quantity?

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Haven't really done the math, but she certainly made her choices count. You can probably tack on a couple dozen "good decisions" that occurred during "Year of Hell" that got wiped out of existence.

[–] StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

As Hologram Janeway says in Prodigy, “We’ve only just begun.”

Because Prodigy had to be about Janeway and more timey-wimey stuff.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

And more shenanigans including the real deal admiral soon! July 1st, last I heard!

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

Voyager had only been on the air for a few years. Ironically, they couldn't predict how much time fuckery would be in the later seasons.

Hilariously, Trials and Tribble-ations aired two days before the Future's End two-parter.
