/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.

I mean, there were some signs.
Librarian in deleted scene from Insurrection (2375):

Kovich (3189), although his were apparently explained as a fashion accessory, not vision correction:

Fair point. Migleemo and Kovich definitely both seem like they're trying for a Vibe, though.
You know who wasn't?

A deleted scene and two instances of none Starfleet personnel... In NuTrek... Which we all know cares so much about continuity.
I agree Discovery is iffy at best, but Lower Decks absolutely counts, damn it!
The first season of Lower Decks alone makes a few very big and weird errors for the sake of causing some story conflict.
For instance; officer replicators adding garnishes to food. Except we've always know that the food you create out of a replicator can be programmed to be whatever you like it to be. Any replicator can also be used to generate tools, or weapons.
Which brings me to that other ship that has these newer model tools... And one of the characters stole a bunch of them. Clearly that tool isn't a classified prototype, otherwise why wouid a low ranking crewman know about it and how would he be able to steal a whole lot of them? So if he really wanted one, why didn't he just pull up the file in a replicator and just... Replicate one?
This isn't Starship Troopers. Civilians get the same medical care.
If they choose. There's very likely a fitness and aptitude requirement for serving as an officer in Starfleet. But for civilians... It would be up to them.

They might just think he's into vintage fashion and had his eyes altered so he didn't have to damage the antique glasses by replacing the original lenses. It's not like sick bay couldn't put his vision right in a few seconds if he wanted to take the glasses off again.

Just tell them you're allergic to Retinax V, like James T. Kirk.
