/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.

Benjamin Sisko in: The man with no chill.

Also, in that very episode, they relieved him of the duty of chasing that guy after he fucked it up and gave it to someone more capable. Didn't give a fuck. Sisko is a nice guy to the people he knows, but JFC the man has no chill or understanding of the boundaries of what he should do.

remember, the only difference between the good timeline and the bad timeline is circumstance.

Some rando Starfleet officer: is secretly marquis

Sisko: I'm so goddamn fucking mad about this unforgivable breach of trust, imma do a genocide.

Sisko's literal fucking girlfriend: is secretly marquis

Sisko: is ok bby I forgive u

[–] Jesus_666@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I think Sisko only got so hung up about Eddington because he pulled his Maquis shit right on DS9, under Sisko's nose.

Yates tried to deal with the Maquis adjacent to his nose but she didn't fuck with station operations in the process. Also, she wasn't very subtle about it.

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

She also was just supplying them with basic goods, not weapons or intel. She also didn't stab the DS9 command staff in the back or go on a self-righteous holier-than-thou rant when she was caught. For all that Eddington mocks Sisko for taking it personally, Eddington went out of his way to make it personal.

Whoa. This meme just made me realize that the doctor on the Orville is Kasidy Yates from DS9. It's been a while since I did a DS9 binge.

Seth McFarlane had a role as a star fleet background extra in Enterprise.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

but she wasn't starfleet.

Sisko likes to do a little bit of war criming... As a treat.

So what are you going to do, Mollari? Huh? Blow up the island.

Prophets were serious try-hards too. Took over some lady on a far off planet just to get a "real boy TM" to be able to find an "just in case" orb hidden for thousands of years on some motherfucking Tatoonie sand bullshit planet, just to piss in the eye of some fire fucks that they stuck in a cave, on the off chance they ever got out.

Also, blipped tens of thousands of gamma quadrant citizens into the void in trade for "sisko cant take a spa day on Bajor" when that motherfucker was gonna be hanging with them anyway. That's some nepo baby bullshit.

Pretty easy to see where Sisko got his bad streak.

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I dunno, kinda makes sense when you realize the prophets don't exist in the linear flow of time. Maybe it's like the Bill & Ted time traps; they knew the pah wraiths were going to escape, so they set in motion those various events in the past so the sisko could pimp slap the Pah Wraiths back

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Also, let's not forget - let's not forget, Sisko - that altering the Nagus' thoughts, with a latinum based system, for uh, domestic, you know, within the quadrant - that ain't legal either.

Meanwhile Dennis & Dee's real dad joined with V'Ger

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yep just one of the several times Sisko is actually kind of an evil scumbag.

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 7 points 2 months ago

Evil or completely misguided by untethered rage and extreme betrayal?

Didn’t he poison two whole planets and then make the colonists trade? Or am I misremembering?

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

The Maquis used biogenic weapons on a Cardi colony, so Sisko responded in kind to a largely human populated Maquis planet. Threatening to go further finally stopped Eddington.

Sisko's poison. The poison from Sisko to poison the planet. That poison?
