/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.

Great period of episodes with that subject because it's a direct reflection on our history and our ideas and attempts at 'purifying our race' or in the ideas that "some are worthy" and others are not.
First time I saw those episodes was last year and the image of Barjoran extremists really reminded me of the "OK" finger gesture that white supremacists used a few years ago.
Also note that the name of the Barjoran extremist group is "The Circle" which can be seen as comparable to the idea of the KKK .... KKK is an acronym for Ku Klux Klan which takes its name from the Greek word Kuklos, which means "the circle" .... I'm pretty sure the writers were really making a statement by coming up with that name.
Definitely a great watch because there is more to come in future episodes ... you're going to enjoy yourself.
