/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.

There's probably more, but it boils down to weak writing and characterization. But mostly, it's for the memes.
The woman who plays Keiko is one of the best actors on the show? Jeez, you'd never know it from how the writers used her...
Think of it like Joffrey in Game of Thrones, if there's a character portrayed as unlikeable and you agree, they're doing their job. That aside, she's done some solid VO, plus her roles in What Dreams May Come and 3 Body Problem.
What Dreams May Come, fuck :(
My wife and I always blame O'brien (at least in TNG. Haven't watched the other series he's in).
Dude marries a woman and proceeds knows basically nothing about her family/culture.
Yeah, never understood where the attraction originated. Her first appearance on TNG is for their damned wedding! No build-up, just blam. Now, I'd be remiss if I didn't recommend watching DS9, which is the series where O'Brien gets his spot in the sun. From where we leave them in TNG and pickup at the station, is a whole other story. Through the good and bad, worth its weight in latinum.
Definitely been on my list. Just never got around to it.
She was also pretty unremarkable in TNG, a total background character- not ragging, but they never explored her character very well- compare her to Luxwana Troi….
Luxwana had fewer episodes but way more character development. The DS9 rolls out and they take her into a harpy.
They definitely could have handled their character better,
So it's more like hate on O'Brienship, rather than Keiko?
