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.

My theory is that the other members of the Federation saw humans as a bunch of chaotic, violent monkeys that somehow had gotten into space and in time would spread their flavor of chaos and violence across the universe.
So it makes sense they thought better training the puppy before it grows up.
I think the question is why The Federation exists to begin with. Vulcans, Andorians, and Tellarites don't like each other, so how did they hold together a Federation before the Humans showed up? Was this entirely an alliance of convenience against Klingons and Romulans? Or was this a serious collaborative partnership that's just been cracking up as Humans arrive?
I'll say, one think I've really enjoyed about Lower Decks is that they have done more "What is life like on a Foreign Ship?" stories in a few seasons than a other Star Trek series have done in entire show runs. The closest episodes I can think of that take a deep dive into life on a Klingon ship was a few Worf episodes on TNG and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
There's a ton of Voyager episodes of "a few crew are captured and they're working for this other set of people out here!" But those are generally not a view of another well-developed culture since they're in such foreign territory.
