/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. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Star Trek Secretly Fixed a 30-Year-Old TNG Plot Hole in the Best Way Possible (www.cbr.com)

With six decades of stories creating the building blocks of the universe's canon, Star Trek is surprisingly cohesive. From the thematic elements in the disparate films and series to the sci-fi specifics that captivate diehard fans, it gets more right than wrong. However, one Star Trek: The Next Generation story left a plot hole open for three decades until a throwaway line in Lower Decks closed it.

In the first two phases of Star Trek, the storytelling wasn't serialized, so some ideas introduced in episodes would be forgotten. However, because the universe kept going from series to series, writers could pick up those ideas and run with them. Newer shows would pick up the batons dropped by earlier series, using them to tell a deeply emotional or thrilling story. However, in the case of a theory introduced in TNG about warp drive travel damaging subspace, Star Trek: Lower Decks picked up the idea for gag. In doing so, it helped iron out the hole TNG Season 7, Episode 9, "Force of Nature" left open.

Hmm, so, like. Voyager got started around the time TNG was wrapping up, along with DS9. Voyager as a ship’s folding nacelles were meant to address that.

(Don’t ask me how. Makes no sense to me. But the folding-to-warp is interesting…)
