/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.

Honestly, bonus points to Rutherford just for being voiced by Eugene Cordero. Pillboi!!!
Lower Decks was the first time I'd encountered Cordero. Then I watched Loki and immediately recognized his voice. Hope to see/hear more of him; he's great.
You need to watch the Good Place
I've heard good things. I might need to give it another shot. I was unaware Cordero was in it.
I bounced off it after an episode or two. I struggle with that sort of awkward humor, where someone hiding the truth makes things worse (which is the vibe I got from the bit I did watch, but it's been a while).
That said, I've seen a lot of clips of later episodes, and the show is definitely funny. (The Time Knife and Jeremy Bearimy are hilarious.)
He's a recurring guest star, so he's not in every episode, but every so often.
The show definitely starts out that way, but doesn't stay that way for long. It goes through several arcs
If you get bored you can look up a show called Other Space. It only got 1 season because it was on Yahoo's short-lived streaming platform, but it an interesting scifi comedy created by Paul Feig. It was the first thing that I remember Cordero standing out in, he plays the second officer. Other cast members include Joel Hodgson and Trace Beaulieu from MST3k.
Wtf is that character list order lol. Also, no Icheb love?

This character list order sponsored by Q.
They did him dirty on Picard.
I will never forgive them for killing Icheb
Rutherford. No one else comes close to solving non-engineering problems like him.
Edit: he is not the best at it. He literally does it like nobody else. All others fall into two camps: diplomat or a troubleshooter, like they approach problems with the mindset that they have to be repaired for peak performance. There is a dryness to their approach that feels comfortable to logical folks.
Rutherford demands you dress like Twain and yell it out in a steamboat. No one does it like him.
Why does Airiam get a cybernetic body but Pike is stuck in a beep beep chair?
They learned to not put people into cybernetic bodies after the Airiam incident at Control HQ so they were like "sorry for ya, Chris"
Harsh.
At least he got to Talos IV.
I wonder who else is stuck in a beep beep chair who didn't get the chance to live the rest of their life in a fantasy world created by superintelligent, loving aliens with super mental powers?
Wait why is Cpt. Picard in the list? Fake heart?
Oui.
Also, fake other parts since Picard S1.
Kayla all day. ...but mostly not for character reasons.
It's obviously me!
Data isn't cybernetic.
First 2 lines of the cybernetics article on Memory Alpha.
Cybernetics was the study of hugely complex artificial intelligence systems, usually running on a positronic matrix and often housed inside robotic machine technology. A practical implementation of this was an android.
Okay, so under the in-universe definition he qualifies.
He just came from the other side. He wasn't always cybernetic, but once that Borg queen grafted living flesh on his mechanical body he became a cyborg, as shown in the photo.
So he was cybernetic for a few hours or so, then was reverted. I don't think that counts.
On that image, he's cybernetic.
Well, at least if you don't have a "you must be at least this much human to be a cyborg" rule.
This guy gets me. But also the formal definition on Memory Alpha includes Data as he normally is.
True, but it's not indicative of his normal state. I don't have that rule, otherwise most of the people in the pictures wouldn't count.
By that logic, the "normal" state for any cyborg is not being a cyborg.
Yeah he's Positronic
