/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.

Dude is supposed to be a child prodigy on the ship. He solves problems better and faster than everyone else who are way more qualified and experienced and intelligent at their Stations. He comes off as pretentious.
He also lacks even a modicum of wisdom, despite being surrounded by wise role models. He almost destroyed the Enterprise twice, and he wasn't even a real member of the crew. When he went to the academy he got some other kids killed because of his lack of wisdom. I get that he's a kid, and kids make dumb decisions, but Wes made some very large adult sized mistakes.
To be fair that is also because the 'wise role models' accepted him as part of the crew and let him make those mistakes. You can't fault the kid who jumps at that kind of opportunity and lets it get it to his head a bit. Going back to school when your cool wise role models let you fly a real starship must be tedious.
I was fine with that part. It was the part where they completely derailed his character and he became a time/space wizard that I don’t like.
