/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.

As an old, grizzled sysadmin who still deals with physical infrastructure and legacy systems, I can totally relate to this. I also like to think that all of O'Brien's hacks that save the day in DS9 were made possible by Ro Laren showing him the way.

Rom learned from the best in "Our Man Bashir"

How did I forget about the spatula? lol

O'Brien knows all the rules by now, so he knows which rules he can ignore.

My favorite kind of character. Competent, unconcerned with military bravado or intellectual superiority, and always knows what amount of fuckery he can get away with. It's why I liked Sgt Siler and Zelenka in Stargate.

His love of combat rations and Sisko's hate of them says it all.

Zelenka is awesome

That my friends, is character development

That's the difference between driving a shiny new Alfa Romero vs a busted up RV from the 80s.

And also a bit like integrating your legacy systems into the new "improved" systems.

Don't forget there was a language change there as well.

Actually come to think of it, I bet there's something on the Enterprise that still runs COBOL.

Maybe that's why the holodeck kept trying to kill everyone!

Nah, none of the power transfer conduits in an Alfa work reliably

Of the Chrysler?

Is Alfa Romero related to John Romero?

Senior engineer O'Brien vs Principal engineer O'Brien.
