/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. 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.

Wow, 58 years young! What a ride it's been!

The star date was 20154, which calculates to 1966-09-09T00:30:00+00:00 in earth time. πŸ€“

I want to believe this so much

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What’s not to believe?

[–] SurfinBird@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Aren’t star dates just nonsensical? At least in TOS

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

It makes sense to someone .... within the galaxy

Written by the author of 'The Trouble With Tribbles,' it came out before the first movie. Has a lot of insights into the problems with creating a science fiction show when all effects were practical or insanely expensive.

One of the best stories is the fan letter the show got from a company working on making automatic doors. The real life engineers wanted to know how the show got their doors to work so well. The producers ahd to admit it was because they had a crew of union guys doing the actual opening

That's the union job I want.
