/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.

Oh man, Morn had some great stories about everything that went on too.
They're fantastic, but so long winded and meandering. Nobody could tell them but Morn.
He just kept talking in one long unbroken sentence
Imagine being trapped in a turbolift with Morn, Dr. Vassbinder, and Calvin Hutchinson.
Don't forget Dr. Gideon Seyetik... before he crashed himself into a then dead sun.
Ouch. How can anyone get to ask for instructions on the comms with him talking there all the time?

It's not like the Defiant is properly staffed either; they had to draft DS9's station doctor and station shrink just to fill out the bridge crew!
The ones that really don't make sense are Odo and Kira.
Odo sometimes works as an advisor like Garak, but Garak is there for his skills and contacts while Odo doesn't really have that depth. At best, Odo can help with dealing with some Vorta.
Kira makes no sense at all. The Reliant doesn't represent Bajor ever and there are a lot of cars where Bajor wants some distance from Federation activities. Kira is also likely an intelligence leak; not herself personally but her reports are likely going to be the interest of every major power and Bajor likely doesn't have the best security.
They had a station... Oh wait, I'm not on season 7 yet carry on
Ugh I hate when Morn is at the helm. He just uses so much words to ask for easy things… everything takes far too much time. Seriously, couldn't he just say: “bring me that”? No, he has to explain the whole history of the thing, why it is where it is, why he needs it now, how it makes him think about his mother… and pouf, the Defiant is back. This man never stop to talk and we have to listen.
I (repeatedly) read that title as "Maybe Mom is barking orders", and got very confused.
I just mentally pictured a crossover with Futurama.
Mom would not take any of this nonsense, and would probably own 99.7% of the station by now.
