/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

Where the presence Lwaxana is the least awkward part of the episode.
By the prophets I love Lwaxana
No argument there. Getting older and rewatching each series after several years has made her one of the best recurring characters.
One thing I really admire about her is that she always seems to instantly know precisely how serious something is, and then she makes light of it exactly until that level.
For example supporting Odo when he couldn't stay solid, she made it not shameful and just reassured him. Or when she casually pointed out those two fish face assassins the second time she was on enterprise, they weren't a threat in stasis, so she just called them ugly until it was time go.
She kept overly serious Picard on his toes in a way nobody else possibly could. She showed Alexander there was a whole other side of life when he was dealing with loss and a father who was pushing too hard to make up for his "Klingon" identity.
When that scientist came on the ship she knew she could throw decorum out and hit on him, but when he was going to be euthanized she pushed hard to help.
She just gives exactly the right amount of fucks in ever scenario, and she does it in the opposite way as stoic Picard, she's a wonderful chaotic contrast.
Well said. The bit with Odo, where she removes her wig in empathy/solidarity, shows the kind of strength of character she possessed.
Lwaxana was an interesting character, but it definitely took them a while to dial her in and make her fun to watch. Though that's also kind of the entire show.
