/c/TenForward: 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.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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 guess the same reason we go to coffee shops instead of just making it at home. Plus, early on, they were still rationing replicator usage, but this is from season 5 after they mostly abandoned that. In this one, though, all but a few of the replicators are down because of the subspace sandbar they were stuck in.
I know they were rationing the replicators, but that coffee came from somewhere, whether it’s the replicator in the galley, or the replicator in her quarters. I did not remember that they were broken in this episode.
Early on, Neelix was making some things similar to coffee, and I guess they foraged it from a planet. One of those coffee-like concoctions was chunky / goopy. I think a couple of times later in the series they differentiate between "coffee" and "Neelix's coffee" so I guess he got better at it or the crew developed a taste for it.
It’s a good theory. But no way in hell this cold hearted murderer (Don’t judge, I love her for her ruthless pragmatism and badassitude) would drink anything but the real deal.
Hey, if you call her a murderer you must in the same breathe cal her a twice over savior.
Damn straight. Rank Hath Its Privileges.
