/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. 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 always thought it fell into one of a few categories:
But unless it was a “fixed point” he basically would do what he wanted, and most of the time it was the tardis that sent home somewhere to stick his nose in things.
"fixed point"
part of what makes DW so good imo is the control that the writers get over the entirety of existence. need a new star actor? regeneration! need to explain a plot hole? fixed point! need to destroy the universe again? daleks!
it's always been a back-and-forth show. some people really hate the new series, and some people really hate the old one. it's all so funny, and it's probably a lot of fun to write these shows knowing you're inevitably going to infuriate some cute group of nerds somewhere
