/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 like that episode. Like one of two that actually gave Guinan some backstory.
Got a bit more about the El-aurians in Generations including Soran, then once more in DS9 via Prince Humperdinck.
Could use a bit of fleshing out.
I don't even recall those. Welp, an excuse for another round of TNG through DS9.
I always thought the Humperdinck episode highlighted one of my less favorite tropes in sci-fi: that the first person we see of a given race creates the template that all other members of the race must follow.
The idea of the entire El-Aurian species being "a race of listeners," as Odo put it, always came across pretty poorly to me. Granted, they didn't lean too heavily on that for his characterization, but it rubbed me wrong that this "racially enlightened series" still reduced a whole race to a single quality that Guinan happened to be strong in.
Time's Arrow is a perfect time travel story, just like Back to the Future. They're a matching set.
Shame on you, Mr Clemens.
That's photoshopped! I can see that because Guinans hand is totally over exposed!
