    Barbossa should have been a starfleet captain

      The hat rivalry with Guinan would’ve been intense.

          Reminds me of the hats in the Dune miniseries.

      Ask him if he’ll ever violate the prime directive:

    There’s a difference between understanding a rule and it’s rationale and breaking it because you know it isn’t ideal in this circumstance, and breaking a rule without a full understanding of why it is there and what the results may be, I suppose.

      That’s sort of how I feel about art. People like Picasso’s weird paintings because they know he can paint conventionally. Cubism was an intentional choice.

      Once you know rules, wisdom and creativity know when to break them.

      How would people native to a given time period even know the temporal prime directive in the first place? And couldn’t you stop the one proliferating the knowledge of it in the first place?

        You mean like how would the people native to the timeline know it was tampered with?

        Unless they’re El Aurian, a Borg Queen (or any species with trans-temporal awareness) or otherwise insulated from time like the Krenem time ship, then they probably wouldn’t.

                Colonel Grat is actually a temporal agent! I knew he was going in too hard against the Suliban.

    I appreciated that in SNW they called it out as an odd name when SF adopted it officially.

/c/TenForward: 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.
