/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.

It's been too long since I've last watched DS9, but skimming though the episode summaries, I'm guessing it's s4e5 "Rejoined"

A Trill scientist (Susanna Thompson), whose host once was married to Dax's previous host, arrives on Deep Space Nine; the former lovers must decide if they want to resume their relationship and defy the laws of Trill society.

Actually it is season 5 episode 7:

While vacationing on Risa, Worf and Dax meet a group of fundamentalist protesters who claim that the Federation has gone soft.

Just watched this yesterday. Because I am a man of science.

I think they were asking what the other episode was that the meme was calling "the gay episode."

[–] Batman@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Doh! Your right hah

[–] friendlymessage@feddit.org 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I hate that episode with a passion. Worf just randomly becoming a terrorist with no repercussions is just so extremely stupid.

[–] usernamefactory@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Agreed completely. I consider it to be DS9’s worst episode. Awful case of character assignation against Worf, and against Jadzia for staying with him.

[–] friendlymessage@feddit.org 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I really like DS9 but there are a lot of worthy contenders for the worst episode. The one where Sisko renders a whole planet uninhabitable just because one guy pissed him off comes to mind and of course Move Along Home.

Worfs character gets assassinated a lot in TNG and DS9, mainly him being an extremely shitty father...

[–] Batman@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I just watched an episode where people were arguing. Worf takes a surprising stance and when questioned he says "I can appreciate the power of FAITH".

I feel like some writers were just trying to make him complex by giving him random qualities.

[–] tan00k@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Yes, it's this one. What a god awful episode.

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 3 points 3 months ago

Oh yes, that rings a bell. Good episode. Good acting too.
