/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.

Listen, I know I'm probably going to take some flack for this...but I hate Kira Nerys. There's something about her character that irks me so bad. I roll my eyes all the time when she speaks. I'll normally click next on her episodes. Everyone else on the cast is great, she's just so annoying to me. She's almost worse than NG Wesley... :) /rant
Hey different strokes for different folks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But personally I love her. Tough as nails, hardened but hopeful. Actually a reasonably well written woman in scifi, which in the '90s was pretty rare.
So of course over the years her uniform became a catsuit (obligatory "fuck you, Rick Berman").
The uniform change didn't bug me as much as the other catsuits. With the entirety of the Starfleet crew getting new higher quality uniforms, the Bajoran crew really needed uniforms of equivalent quality, and Kira's outfit still matches the style. It mostly bugs me that only Kira got a new outfit while Odo and the extras kept the lower quality ones.
I mean, technically, Odo probably isn't wearing ANY uniform...
I really liked the character, but the only thing I couldn't stand was her laugh.
Brah, I hear ya brah, me too, sort of, but the thing is, DS9 shouldn’t have existed at all and yet for seven seasons it kicked out the jamz on everything as one of the best Treks ever - and Kira is one of the main characters. You ultimately gotta just roll with it. I love the character, and the actress is great - for me it’s just . . . the Sheena Easton look. Bleah. The hair and makeup straight out of a Nagle print, with a big dangly earring - just, no. It gets slightly better over the seasons.
But character-wise, she’s our McCoy, if McCoy were allowed to lead story arcs.
