/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.

@jawa21@startrek.website for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.

This was something like in Discovery that maybe I missed.

Stamets is needed to go to a chamber and plug in to activate their mycelium drive. The captain is seen in almost every episode saying "Black Alert" and the ship jumps immediately.

Yet Stamets isn't shown standing for hours in his mycelium chamber waiting for a jump order like O'Brien waiting for a transport command.

Just once I was expecting, "Black Alert", then a long pause where nothing happens, followed by some communication where the Captain discovers Stamets is in the bathroom.

They call that situation a Brown Alert.

That would have been hilarious, and honestly, a pretty effective way of showing how being the only one that could jump the ship was really bad for him. I do think though, most of the time, when they were doing things, he would have been at his post, so it's just a short walk
