/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.

She even had a decent character arc to become likeable.

Her whole arc was supposed to explore the idea of a kind-of rational and legitimate hatred, then see where it led.

spoilerTime and again, her bigotry caused new injury to herself and to others. But then this was held in contrast to Ed Mercer's persistent failed efforts to extend an olive branch to rival alien races who were unable to divest of their own bigotries.

That's what made the latest season of Orville so fucking good.

spoilerThe whole season is about trying to build a coalition between the liberal Planetary Union and the fascist Chak'tal and ultra-conservative Moclan. But, in the end, their commitment to their own moral compass paves a way for an unexpected alliance with the Kaylon that yields far more fruit than any kind of strategic military compromise with the corrupt governments of the Chak'tal or Moclan.

It wasn't just that she became likeable. Its that the guiding principles of the Planetary Union usher the crew towards a better galaxy, even when that path isn't immediately clear from the outset.

While I like your analysis, the comment you're responding to was referring to Pulaski's arc, not Charlie's.

Ah, damn. Well, nevermind then.

It was a great analysis though:)
