/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.

Keiko is the worst villain in the entire Alpha quadrant.

That is all.

The problem with Keiko is that she just isn't on miles level so she comes off as self absorbed in the face of a genuine man who is literally out there saving the alpha and delta quadrant weekly.

She's tolerable in TNG because she's more of a plot device for Miles but for DS9 they lean into the fact that she's a mother and a wife and I guess the point of her character was to show the dynamics of family life for non-officers for star fleet. there's no way Keiko should know whats going on - it's way over her head - she's just trying to live a normal life, but she has absolutely no deference for the fact that she's married to one of the most hard working and honourable people in the whole galaxy and that really just makes her a nag and annoying af.

I think she does, which is why she stays with him and makes make changes and sacrifices to her life to be with him. However, there is a breaking point.

That said, I think she is a good person.

They make it work which is what matters.

I also think she's a good person. Until seeing the memes here, I never perceived her in a negative way. Through Keiko I think the shows presented the lives of Star Fleet spouses and that it's not always easy.

The Bajoran wormhole went to the Gamma quadrant.

The delta quadrant is where Voyager and the Barzan wormhole went.

They say that being in Star Fleet makes relationships hard. I guess they really wanted to show how in DS9 lol
