The Ten Commandments of Star Trek?

Unless thou beist an occupant of that most holy of stations, the Ninth to inhabit Deep Space, thou shalt not engage in any adventures wherein the notable events are either less or more than a count of minutes of forty five. Forty five shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be forty five. Forty six shalt thou not count, neither count thou forty four, excepting that thou then proceed to forty five. Forty seven is right out. Once the number forty five, being the forty fifth number, be reached, then all events of note shall be concluded.
 
Thou should not expecteth to beam down to yonder planet dressed in native garb and yet not be captured.
 
"Thou shalt intone everyday:

Canon to right of them,
Canon to left of them,
Canon in front of them
Volley’d and thunder’d;
Storm’d at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the writers. "
 
I like where this is going :D

1 - Thou shalt not spew batshit crazy theories you pull out of your ass.
2 - Thou shalt not attempt to come up with a unified continuity for shows covering 50+ years and helmed by dozens of different people with different visions.
3 - Thou shalt not talk of the inconsistencies in the interpretation of the Prime Directive by different captains.
4 - Thou shalt not read between the lines and fill in the gaps with your above mentioned batshit crazy theories.
5 - Thou shalt reject "head canon"

And I'll borrow this one from The Wormhole
Thou shalt not accept as canon any source other than That Which is Onscreen.
 
Whilst in warp flight, thou shalt turn neither to the left, nor to the right.

Thou shall not closely examine nor comment upon any new renditions of THE TREK, less those who worship with the new temple descend in their numbers, piling shapeless castigation upon thine house and smitten thee.

Blessed be the ROD and the BERRY, he who created THE TREK by his lone hand, without any assistance of others.

I must go and flog myself now as penance for expressing a negative opinion :lol:
 
Adapted from George Orwell's Seven Commandments of Animalism:

1. Whatever goes upon two legs but has a slightly different forehead or ears is an alien.
2. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is probably not in the budget.
3. No Voyager character shall wear a Deep Space Nine updated uniform.
4. No character shall use a door with hinges.
5. No captain shall drink a variety of different beverages.
6. No character shall kill the Borg Queen, though nearly every character shall appear to do so.
7. All episodes are canon, but some are more canon than others.
 
1. Thou shalt not piss of Mother Horta
2. Thou shalt not piss of Mother T'Pau
3. Thou shalt not piss of Porthos
4. Thou shalt not piss of the Organians
5. Thou shalt not disobey Starfleet Command unless they don't know shit (which is most of the time)
6. Remember the Prime Directive to keep it holy, unless one is named Kirk
7. Thou shalt not kill unless thou is facing a Klingon, a Romulan, a Gorn, a Borg, a.....
8. Thou shalt no steal Starfleet ships, unless one is named Kirk
9. Thou shalt not covet thy fellow Captains' First Officer, or his Chief Medical Officer, or his navigator or anything that is thy fellow Captains
