/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.

Honestly though, that guy was the most believable character of the three to me. Just totally unable to understand how the future works at all, expecting it to be no different than his time, and getting angry and frustrated with things not being like that. And to make it worse, he's on a military ship with extra rules. Everything he had ever worked for and achieved was meaningless and everything he believed in had been rejected.

Yes, he was an asshole, but the other two (and pretty much every other character brought into the future or shown the ship when it's in a the past) do not react like most people actually would when put in that situation and getting over the initial shock. It doesn't matter what kind of utopia Star Trek's future was, the complete culture shock would be enough to give anyone mild PTSD.

Business B. McBusinessman was the one who had something to do. Sad Housewife was there to give Troi a reason to not be on the bridge so she couldn't say "I'm sensing deception from the Romulans, Captain." And Guitar Hick Who Was Also There was also there. The whole crux of the episode is the moment when Business B. McBusinessman goes to the bridge and says "The Romulans are bullshitting you. I can tell because I'm a businessman and businessmen bullshit each other all the time."

This episode pretended it had a lot to say, huh?

I immediately recognized and hate this man.

Truly, he was TNG's King Joffrey

With the interest alone, I could buy this ship!

My box of Pokemon cards will be enough to buy a private class-M resort planet somewhere.
