/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Q's eyebrows in the last few frames are perfection.
Picard's annoyance is great as well. I can't blame Q for trolling him all the time, he makes it too easy!
The mariachi guys in the background are great too ... both in the acting and in the real world, they are just laughing at how much they are spreading so much Mexican love
There's a bit of fridge horror when you consider that Q is creating real, living people from nothing for a quick gag. Or maybe he has a deal with these guys to just teleport them in whenever he wants to harass someone. I like that idea better.
He pulls real people, but erases their memories. It happens to Riker and co. on VOY during the trial of the suicidal Q.
Edit: can't upload images for some reason, so here's a linked one.
I remember that episode. The difference, though, is that the mariachi guys just appear and start smiling and playing immediately. Riker was confused when he got teleported in. So they must know what's going on when they suddenly appear somewhere in space and time in full costume.
Never get involved in politics.
To be fair Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem were always high as a kite and it never mattered where or when they played ... you could insert them into a Klingon funeral or a Vulcan marriage ceremony and they'd play their music without missing a beat.
I really want for Q to have pulled those guys through time from a 20th century Mexican restaurant in mid performance and sent them right back afterwards. With no context at all.
Miguel: ... um Juan? ... where are we?
Juan: ... just smile and keep playing Miguel or someone might call immigration again.
John DeLancey is a genius.
