/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.

Does this make the Jem'Hadar the local crack heads that like to ransack the place?
Does this make Rom's minefield just a bunch of speed bumps?
Okay, so there's two shows from the nineties about shopping malls in space. . .
What's to say... people in the 90s really liked shopping malls. And space.
If I had a nickel for every 90s show about a shopping mall in space, I’d have two nickels. That’s not a lot, but it’s funny that it happened twice.
Shopping malls were pretty cool back then though, an actual place to hang out! Nothing like the bleak liminal wastelands of today.
we could make local spaces cool to hang out in, but like that takes committees and shit. you gotta organize and right now a lot of us got bigger things to build than parks.

Sweet strawberry preserves, did the 90's like space.
Zathras is confused about which show he’s watching.
The one that guest stars Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, of course.
The one where Robert Foxworth plays a high ranking officer
You. I like you.
You know that whole s3 opener about "it failed."
Well someone had to pick up the slack. Those stembolts ain't gonna sell themselves

How dare you. It’s not just a shopping mall. It’s a shopping mall and casino.
Excuse me… it’s the gateway to the Celestial Temple!
so it's an airport
More like a way station.
It's a port of call, home away from home for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanderers.

It's also an ore processing facility.
Don't forget a bar, there's literally a whole episode about how much trouble everyone on the station is willing to go to in order to continue having a place to drink.
You just know there was a red light holo corridor on DS9 that was never shown on the show.

This is such a minivan inspired spaceship design
Fun fact: the nose of the Defiant is packed with explosives
And all the sensors for the ship. And it's detachable!
Also, the defiant has 3 shuttle craft. A working medbay on a combat ship? Nope, but 3 shuttles.

That kid is back on the turbo lift!
My cousin Ensign Walter jerked off in public once. True story. He was on a shuttle to Terra Luna when all of a sudden the impulse engines went. The shuttle started spinning around, going out of control, so he decides it's all over and whips it out and starts beating it right there. So all the other ensigns take a cue from him and they start whipping it out and beating like mad. So all the ensigns are beating off, plummeting to their certain doom, when all of a sudden, snap! The impulse engines kick back in. The shuttle rights itself and it lands safely, and everyone puts their pieces or whatever, you know, away and deboards. No one mentions the phenomenon to anyone else.
Well did he cum or what?!?!
By the Prophets, man! There's just some things you don't talk about in public!

Garak tried to screw me somewhere very uncomfortable once.
What, like the back of a Type 2 shuttle?
"Oh thank god, I've been dying for a wee and some Twinkies."
The FerengiNuggets are seriously addicting
Even in the future, shopping malls are failing. Just look at Empok Nor.
Let's build on the idea. A series about WW3, whose epicenter is the Metrocenter mall from Bill & Ted.
I'd also accept the Eden Prarie Mall (from Mallrats).
