/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.

The most hate-able character in the series for me.
Yep. His whole ''why aren't the coms locked if it's so important?'' --''because even school children have a sense of protocol and restraint in this future''
exactly .... an entitled billionaire from the late 20th century.
but I also enjoy reading and researching who these actors were in real life
The millionaire/billionaire character 'Ralph Offenhouse' was played by actor Peter Mark Richman (April 16, 1927 – January 14, 2021)
even though he played a convincingly obnoxious rich guy ... his real life was the complete opposite.
I mostly remember him as one of the evil corporate pollution CEO's from Naked Gun 2-1/2: The Smell of Fear.
A great character actor because he really caused everyone to absolutely hate his characters. Just like Louise Fletcher ... you love them because you hate them.
He probably just amalgamated some of his worst customers.
