/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.

What a guy!
Ro Laren goes from prison to starfleet then joins a terrorist cell within a year. She still managed to get a promotion in that span. What did Harry do that got him snubbed so hard?
You got me wondering, did anyone ever get a promotion on Voyager?
Paris did. Then he got demoted and then promoted again.
And I want to say Tuvok got a promotion also
I always thought his rank was honorary because of his roll on the ship. As in like a helmsman is traditionally a lieutenant.
That was the reason, but it was a full field commission, as a captain is allowed to do.
Neelix became a cook, then morale officer, then chief ambassador.
Just started a re-watch of Voy. I forgot what a stone cold badass Neelix is in the first few episodes.
Yeah!
I would love to see modern Neelix cameos where his rebel vibe is back.
I felt like Neelix gave up a lot of his rebel badassery to get his adopted family home.
New Neelix stories - set after Voyager is home - could show him restored to his former badassery, but a more seasoned confident version.

What did Harry do that got him snubbed so hard?
Presumably it's not any single thing, he's just a "SmegHead". (Common insult thrown at Rimmer, in Red Dwarf.)
What a Smeeeee- Heeeeee-.
I just want you to know that I both love and hate you for this post. My response will take hours to complete.
How many hours roughly? So we can set an alarm...?
Well, since all of the Red Dwarf footage I can find is garbage... I don't know.
Editing to add: I also need to find the episode where Rimmer becomes hard light and can touch things. If anyone knows, please tell me.
Consider this a placeholder:
Season 6 episode 2
Thank you!

Smeg!
#justiceForHarry, make him a captain and give him a class in the new Starfleet academy show.
He's owed so many promotions, he should outrank Janeway. Fleet Admiral Harry Kim.
Unfortunately, he won't be in the SFA show. It takes place in the 29th century. The only Trek Alum who will be in the cast will be Robert Picardo. The explanation there being obvious.
Maybe Harry gets to the right time period through a stasis leak.
Just wave a light over him and bam! Harry Kim in the 29th century.
29th century and still an ensign, I presume?
Jr. Lieutenant Second Grade.
That's right, I had forgotten about that less-than-memorable Voyager novel in which Dr. Lewis Zimmerman leaves behind holoengineering for cryonics, nice catch.
On the other hand somewhere out there is an hot shot pilot named ace kim, rescuing alien princesses from the breen
Rimmer didn't kill the entire crew, Lister did.....
Only in Rimmer's logic :)
I think it was something like "If Lister hadn't been imprisoned in stasis for smuggling a cat on board, he would have been there to help me mend the drive plate, so I wouldn't have made the mistake which caused the failure, which killed all the crew".
Lister smuggled the cat that caused the malfunction on to the ship in the first place unless I'm remembering that wrong, but I haven't seen Red Dwarf in about 2 decades.
You might be right, actually. There's only one way to find out: re-watch it all again :)
Rimmer was 100% assigned the responsibility of repairing the drive plate that released the neutron blast that killed the entire crew of Red dwarf.
However, in all fairness, everybody on the ship knew that rimmer was incredibly incompetent and assigning him such an important responsibility was a failure of command, so the real person who killed the entire crew was whoever ordered rimmer to do the repair.
Lister was already in stasis at this point so he literally could not be responsible for this.
Fair enough, it's been 20 years. I just thought the need for the repair was caused by the cat, which would have been Lister's fault for sneaking the cat on board in the first place.
The cat was already stored safely in the cargo decks at that point.
They have released more seasons. I think they're up to season 13 right now? And some of the later ones are pretty good. Definitely worth a rewatch.
I don't know if it's still there but I got to watch it again recently for free on tubi.
So, I thought it was Saru on the right at first. I was just agreeing with everything until it said “killed entire crew” and was like, “season 5 really went off the rails, didn’t it?”
