/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. 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.

He’s a lieutenant, admiral. Maybe give him a few minutes before we go expecting him to rebuild the entire starfleet by hand, blindfolded, hm?
So I'm not saying this to be a pedantic ass, for the record. I'm saying this because I like learning new things and sharing new things to learn. But Geordi isn't an Admiral, as hilarious as that is. Data had the excuse of being dead or plugged into the matrix. Everyone else from the bridge crew other than Deanna ends up being an Admiral. She probably knew she wasn't going to get the promotion when she could sense someone hiding something. But poor old Geordi gets stuck as Commodore.
Or was Geordi the smartest of them all instead of pursuing relentless advancement he remembered the words of Admiral Kirk:
"Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there, you can make a difference."
Well, I mean, they had him the head of a museum. About as far from the bridge as you can get
A museum full of bridges, but I get your meaning. However, for an engineer, maybe that's the difference he wanted to make.

We can at least try to make them look good.
I don't make gifs, just hastily edit existing with the default tools at hand. Beautiful work.
Even with my GIF skills, fuck making a whole nice gif for a single joke lol
Is it canon that he captained the galaxy class Challenger? Or are we just kinda accepting that's what probably happened despite the timeline changes
