Bit of a downer, I know. But it highlights the struggles that various crew experience and reminds you that, even though it's sci-fi, it's not a fairy-tale. Just ask Jadzia.

For context: the ensign initially speaking comes from a low-gravity environment and requires an exo-suit and mobility chair to get around. Bashir devises a treatment that would allow her to function without them. However, the trade-off is that she could no longer visit her homeworld for any extended period of time or make use of low-G assistance.

Also, Hans Christian Andersen could give the Brothers Grimm a run for their money on fucked up stories "for children."

The lesson from Rapunzel is "obey the lady who locked you up against your will, for your own good". Not the best lesson, I think.

Not saying I agree with the lessons, just don't sugarcoat the gritty details laid out by the authors. Unless it's Bret Easton Ellis' "American Psyco," at which point we're better off without.

/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.
