Dad: (confused) “You play a SPACE MAN?”
Leonard: sigh Yes.

/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.

MODERATORS
Arguably THE space man, though.
Chief Scientist : I agree with those who say we could launch a pod.
Lyndon Johnson : A pot?
Chief Scientist : A POD - a, uh, capsule. Now, we would be in full control of zis pod. It vill go up like a cannonball, and come down like, uh, a cannonball, splashing down into ze water, the ocean, vith a parachute to spare the life of the specimen inside.
Lyndon Johnson : Spaceman?
Chief Scientist : SPE-CI-MEN.
Lyndon Johnson : Well, what kind of spe-ci-men?
Chief Scientist : A tough one. Responsive to orders. I had in mind a jimp.
Lyndon Johnson : JIMP? Well what the HELL is a jimp?
Chief Scientist : A jimp. A-a-a jimpanzee, Senator. An ape.
Hurts to see him holding a cig knowing what did him in.
While he did die of COPD, he was also 83. A lot of people don't get that long on this Earth.
Also, I think his alcoholism was a much bigger factor in problems he had in his life. He would have probably agreed.
"We love you, son. But you look like Moe Howard with that haircut."
"Why I oughta!"
Well done, son!
Or Patrick Troughton, as The Doctor.
I'm guessing his parents would have no idea who that was either.
Probably not, but it would be funny AF if his parents were Whovians, but just didn't get Star Trek.
"See, this is good sci-fi son. We don't know what you're doing."
"I'm sure it's fun, sweety. You'll land something better soon" - Nimoy's mother
or "I don't exactly understand it, but I'm happy for you. You deserve this."
Wait, are we still doing "mood"?
As a fellow kid, I assumed.
Ah, how do you do
