/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.

My poor Worf.

Gotta be the GOAT character in all of Trek. The roar pierced my soul.

DS9 has now passed TNG in my heart.

Is this the community for this post?

EDIT: wow guys. I meant E26. 24 episode format got my head mashed. Times Orphan is awful. I meant the finale! (No spoilers!)

Original post title for reference was “ First time DS9... just finished S6E24” — when I meant to reference Tears of the Prophets.

they didn't think they could rehabilitate her,

The episode showed that Molly, in just a few days was already rehabilitating. I already said, "talking, drawing, wanting her hair brushed"

they didn't wanna take time off to help Molly

O'Brien took the news of Molly needing to go to a distant rehabilitation center as a non-starter. He could have discussed it with Keiko but he didn't because to him, leaving ds-9 was not an option.

Molly was freaking the fuck out by the end that she wasn't allowed to go home.

She freaked out when she had to leave the holodeck just like a child would throw a tantrum leaving a zoo. She wouldn't have instantly fashioned a weapon and attacked the stranger who approached her unless she had been traumatized by predators in her environment.

I explained the selfish reasons already. Leaving DS9 to take their child to care would be the first priority for normal caring parents. Only narcissists would put their career first. Only someone evil would abandon their child to certain painful death because their child wasn't happy at the moment.

Go watch Cast Away. Living alone without regular food, water, shelter and basic medical care isn't the paradise you imagine. O'Brien had been to enough worlds to know what he was sending his daughter into.
