I always feel weird about these, like that dril quote. Shakespeare, Hobbes, Dril, and the people who worked on gargoyles all share the same thing: THEY ARE WRITERS. They know how to write good. They got paid to write good. They built their lives around writing good. These amazing quotes like “face god and walk backwards into hell” don’t happen by accident, they are intentional creations by people who are doing their absolute best to write something memorable, and occasionally succeed.

They know how to write well. They got paid to write well. They built their lives around writing well.

They wrote about heroes saving the world, therefore they wrote good.

That what they wrote is so memorable to us means they wrote well.

Not to mention they got deep in the lore of King Arthur and Macbeth and what not for information to write that show.

[ Fox reads a book on Sartre while Hyena shoots cockroaches with a catapult.]

Hyena: Why do you read that stuff?

Fox: Because Nietzsche’s too butch and Kafka reminds me of your little friends over there.

TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name

Create post

/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.
