/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.

I'm thinking I would go with either, "swing it, baby" or "right on, sister!"

So, like-

"Mr. Nartik, set course for Tau Alpha III. Warp six."

"Course laid in, sir."

"Right on, sister!"

This would be the 23rd or 24th century gender-neutral form of the word sister, obviously.

I'm not going to tell Captain Reno how to run their ship, but I really don't think Dr. Culber should be at the helm.

Ha. Medical officer at the helm is really stretching the limits of the omnidisciplinary scienteist/doctor character.

That said, the Kobiyashi Maru episode of Prodigy had holographic Beverly Crusher as First Officer.

Mainly because they couldn't get anyone else, but...

I need to go back and watch Prodigy. I started it but didn't get past the first few episodes. Didn't dislike it, but was busy IRL at the time and just haven't gone back to watch the rest.

Crusher also pilots the Enterprise in that bubble universe she was stuck in, but I think that was more telling the computer to do it (memory is fuzzy on the specifics of that episode which is ironically titled 'Remember Me').

I felt the same way about Prodigy, especially because the first two or three episodes are a bit shaky, but once it gets going, it's pretty great.

She commanded the Enterprise during Descent, so she’s obviously gone through the process to qualify to stand watch at some point in the past. She takes out a Borg ship, so she’s pretty good at it, too.

Sure, but it was mainly because they couldn't get anyone else.
