/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.

my favorite example of "we can do this extraordinary thing and we will never talk about it again":
or the detachable Enterprise saucer section
i think that one was about money, shooting the separation scene turned out to be more complicated and expensive than they thought...
Janeway and Paris preferred to stay in the delta quadrant rather than explain their giant Yeerk babies.
It annoyed me so much that Discovery basically wrote off all the propulsion technologies that didn't quite work in the 24th century, just so the spore drive could be special in the 32nd century.
I have much the same gripes about Voyager making the Warp 10 speed limit a universal hard limit, rather than something that the warp drive was simply not able to achieve.
At least Discovery's could still pulled them back out of the rug with them not having to wring every single piece of dilithium for all it's worth.
"If you go just a bit faster than the Voyager, the universe itself breaks, and all propulsion technologies are obsoleted past the threshold" is much harder to get around without something like Q shenanigans.
Isn't there a plant in TOS that can heal wounds that's never brought up again?
i only remember this plant, not sure it was healing anything...? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Side_of_Paradise_(Star_Trek:_The_Original_Series)
My favorite is the repair tool from S1 PIC, the one powered by imagination. Lets just create and forget a magic wand that commoditizes the entire engineering department ๐
I'm going to be honest - the first season of PIC was so bad I tried to forget about pretty much everything but Laris. I am pleased to report that I successfully forgot everything about the imagination repair tool and still no longer recall it.
I'm glad I've almost completely forgotten the first two seasons of PIC.
I'm glad they at least tried to make a good 3rd season... but I'd still rather forget it too.
Heck, maybe I should just start considering Picard dead since Wolf 359. ... No, no. That's taking it too far. Just need to ignore the non-canon anti-fan non-trek noise.
I just can't respect someone's opinions on writing when they don't know it's not "cannon".
I hope you didn't start watching the second season.
If we're counting Kelvinverse stuff, the plot twist in Star Trek Into Darkness in which magic villain blood turns out to be the universal cure for Actual Death also qualifies.
Oh how I aspire in writing my own Star Trek stories to both not do that, and explain away why it's like that (basically: "forgot we could do that").
