/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.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

Burnham
I love that 3 hours into voting, Burnham is sitting untouched, up or down...
To me Burnham often feels like "No honey, we're not getting Janeway, we have Janeway at home."
And I'm willing to admit that's about me. Janeway is my favorite Captain, and Burnham has a lot in common, while not being Janeway.
I see parallels:
That said, I agree on Janeway being the better telling of each - that's my point too. I regularly think "I should just rewatch Voyager, instead".
Which, oddly, isn't to say I would rather watch Voyager than Discovery. I adore Discovery, and it has some stories that haven't ever been done as well in other Trek.
But Burnham, specifically, constantly falls into Janeway's shadow, for me. And to me she was more interesting as a convict, and as a science officer, than as a Captain - for the same reason.
I am looking forward to seeing an ex-convict Federation Captain. I think there's interesting stories to be told there.
Oof. Sorry to hear that. I hope you can hang in there and weather it. I appreciate your perspectives around here.
Jellico is genuinely better suited to the chair than anyone. You can't beat the highest possible bar.
