/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. 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.

TNG 6x24: Second Chances

Ok, she said "Night Bird" but same energy.

It also helps to imagine that scene, but with this voice:

A song about leaving a committed relationship with someone to go sow your wild oats? Troi doing some deep cut heckling here.

Its like people who claim to love Escape (The Piña Colada Song) without knowing it's about a couple who are both actively cheating on each other only to accidentally end up on a blind date with each other.

Or those who think Born in the USA is super patriotic when it's about kiiinda the exact opposite

Oh, haha, I've always considered that one of the dumbest songs in pop. I guess I should give it a closer listen.

I remember in my senior year of highschool there was a vote to what would be the class song. I don't remember the other choices, but they decided on Free Bird. A song from 1973 about leaving a committed relationship for the class on 2010.

I had a lot of dumbasses in my class, that don't understand context or sub-context.

I mean, she intentionally chose "Night Bird" because she knew he couldn't play it. Even in the episode proper, she's was trolling masterfully lol.
