Inspired by gregorum's post concerning issues with startrek.website, which is ironic as lemmy.world is a bit glitchy right now and isn't letting me upload and had to use my alt here.

/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.

...terrible episode. Followed by "Move Along Home"
I appreciated how incredibly rational he was. His first reaction was, “This is all so silly, I must clearly be dreaming. I shall now scream myself awake!”
He did this again in Distant Voices. “I’m being mind-raped to death by a Lethian? Oh, I don’t think so! Take my 125 year old tennis serve, asshole!”
And again, at the near-end of DS9 with Chief O’Brien in tow when they both cybermindfucked Sloan to get the cure for the Changeling virus. (Yeah, they totally did that, and Sisko and Ezri watched at least part of it).
I also appreciated the almost hilarious irony in that he was, in an almost Doctor Who twist of fate, wrong. No, Dr. Bashir, you are, in fact, trapped in a silly alien game, and must sing and dance your way out of it.
Doctor Who, indeed.
