Pulaski really came around though. Remember how genuinely happy she was for Data when he kicked that smug alien's ass in Stratagema? And she was encouraging him not to give up throughout the episode when he was having a bit of a crisis from initially losing. I hated her at first but she's grown on me.

Well yeah, that's the standard character redemption arc. Just saying as an opening impression she was rude and arrogant, and first impressions matter.

So was McCoy. And Bashir. And The Doctor. If anything, Crusher is the odd one out here and I think that's just because Roddenberry wanted her to be "motherly" for his self-insert Wesley.

Yes, but those were all men (or programmed to appear as men), so it's okay for them to be rude and arrogant.

Risa: Your Home Away from Spacedock

Welcome to Risa

All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.

Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not KlingonThis is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.

  • No harassment, brigading, or trolling
  • No bigotry
  • Keep the banter playful, not hostile

Rule 2 — No Prohibited CargoSome things aren’t welcome aboard.

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

Rule 3 — Keep It TrekPosts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.

  • Crossovers are fine
  • Low-effort “unrelated” memes may be spaced out the nearest airlock

Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole
You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don't get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.


If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn't inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.

Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.
