/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. 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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I should think he'd be more relieved as he's basically Broccoli.
Of course, now I wanna see an alternate timeline where he's the confident captain.
You're right. He probably blew up the ship within about 20 minutes.
I didn't think that was a switch as much as an alternate reality Q created solely for Picard to make a point. Like the warp bubble that Crusher got trapped in once.
All of this was a Q illusion to manipulate Picard into becoming a more aggressive military commander
Might've overcompensated.
Maybe RealHeartPicard was able to have a full life that PicardPrime (with kung fu grip) couldn't have. He could have gotten married, had a bunch of cute kids, saved his brother and nephew and celebrated an old fashioned Joyeux Noël, with everyone dressed in natural fabrics and big hair ribbons. No Blazin' Bev, but still, it could have been the best outcome.
I don't remember, did they ever explain why the Borg didn't take over in that timeline? I know Q could have made the whole thing up, but assuming he didn't, it seems like Picard's leadership is what stopped the Borg from taking over (based on what happened to the Riker-led Enterprise from Parallels). Did they make any mention of Wolf 359 or anything like that?
Totally glossed over, but then you gotta remember that Q alerted the Borg of the Federation's presence in the Alpha Quadrant from all the way in the Delta. That would result in a delay of X years before their arrival. Without Q's warning, however, Starfleet would be woefully unprepared and result in a variation of strung out Riker.
Thank you! Yeah, I guess there could be lots of butterfly effect reasons that Starfleet wasn't overrun by Borg. Thanks for the answer! My searches for, "TNG Tapestry Borg," were not helpful.
