TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/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.

Some of that- particularly the first season- was probably from the fact that Paramount stole the idea from JMS's show bible for Babylon 5. JMS had pitched bab5 to Paramount as one of the first groups to go with and they more or less kept his early-edition show bible.
not saying DS9 is a bad show or ragging on it, but the idea for running a show on the station and being... politically "intriguing", as well as a fair amount of the darker themes came from that bible. Bab 5 later got reworked into a slightly different direction. but that's why the first seasons of the two shows were so similar.
fortunately, JMS kept it isolated to speculation rather than legal action and we got two great shows. (he didn't blame the writers for DS9, but rather Paramount.)
that said... if you haven't watched babylon 5... you should probably check that out at some point.
The more I watch, the more I learn and the more I'll probably watch Babylon 5 ... thanks!
I love the cliff notes of B5, but, good gods, the acting and writing was horrific.
