/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

That's what gets me about that episode, sure the "Warp 10 turns you into a giant salamander" is weird and the whole "Canonically Janeway and Paris have had freaky salamander sex" is kinda strange.

However, when the crew of the Voyager discover that maybe sentient salamanders that are descended from humans have just been introduced into a alien planet they just go "Huh, weird." and just leave them. They just introduced a species that is not only foreign to the planet but the whole freaking universe. They could track down Salamander Janeway and Paris from orbit, maybe they should spend a week or two trying to capture the sala-babies instead of going, "Welp they crawled into a pool they're gone forever now"

The Doctor explains that Paris went through a truncated/forced evolution. But that hardly explains a damn thing. There are traits that are formed by environment, some by predator/prey, and some that are random as all hell. His evolutionary journey is unique to itself. Then we're to believe after he abducts her and pushed her through "the same" experience, they come about to an M-class planet, finish their metamorphosis, and instinctually mate. Worst. Episode. Ever.
