    This does Jake dirty.

    He eventually becomes a war journalist whose stories will be read (after the conflict, thanks to Weyoun) quadrantwide.

    Wesley turned into a space hippie and fucked off forever.

        Yeah I don’t like it but I do struggle to argue against it. He cares about justice, and wanted to make sure bajorans got fair treatment (in his area, at least) under the cardassians. But then again he worked for them.

        Likewise he got a bit anti-“solid” racist from time to time and had a vaguely sexual relationship with the female founder, but then went back the link, calmed them all down and kind of stopped the war.

        I feel like it’s one step forward but then also at least one step back.

        Still my favourite character so I guess I’m just a hypocrite lol

            It was Prodigy, not Picard. Wes wasn’t in the last season of Picard, and I can’t even remember him being mentioned even though his family was a big part of the season.

              In addition to Prodigy Wesley was in the Season 2 finale of of Picard, not the whole series’ finale. My mistake! Thanks for the correction.

    I feel like TNG, DS9, and VOY all had a specific way to mix character attributes.

    Like Data wants to be human, Odo wants to be human, Tuvok and Seven are both made to be human.

    Worf, Belana and Worf have anger management issues that require other characters to quell.

    Harry Kim, Weasley, and Jake are all struggling to fit in.

    Picard, Sisko, and Janeway are so competent that it gets in the way.

    Broccoli, broccoli, and Miles are all tortured.

    Q, Nelix, and Quark are all alien perverts.

    Odo, Seven, and Data all have over powered abilities.

    Jordie, Old man, and Kes all have less useful powers.

    These mixes, allow a good variety of stories to be told, often which ask similar questions using new characters. I know you’ve all thought about this before.

      A lot of the non-human characters are following the Spock blueprint, which I appreciate: the fish-out-of-water who needs to fit in, while plotlines do the Gene Roddenberry “we celebrate our differences” thing.

~ 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.
