/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.

~ 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'

A call-out of Terry Farrell's unceremonious axing of her character and job from DS9 by way of producer Berman.

Taken from redshirtsalwaysdie

It's already well-known that Farrell wanted to become a recurring character on the series in the seventh season instead of a main character, presumably because she'd gotten another job offer from Becker, but that hasn't been substantiated. Her request for reduced time on the show was denied, and her character was killed toward the end of season six. But more than just Farrell's desire to go part-time led to her decision to depart the series. According to The Fifty Year Mission: The Next 25 Years [via Whatculture], Farrell was allegedly subjected to misogynistic comments by Rick Berman. She claimed that he regularly made remarks about her appearance, would not bend on any requested changes to her new contract, and, at one time, sent another producer to tell her "If you weren't here, you know you'd be working at Kmart." Though Farrell didn't want to leave the series, Berman's unwillingness to work with her on a new contract as well as his alleged treatment of her led to Farrell's final decision. And though Nicole de Boer tried to fill her shoes when she came onboard Deep Space Nine to play Ezri Dax, the series was never the same without Farrell. And now, almost twenty-five years later,Farrell is willing to return to the franchise.
