/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.

“The neutral zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the demilitarized zone.”

You want me to have an abortion!

The PA announcers in that movie were played by the real PA announcers for LAX at the time, which I just think is neat.

A Star Trek version of Airplane would not be the worst of the Star Trek franchise. I would watch that all day long. I'm 100% serious about this, but don't call me Shirley.

Have you ever seen a grown Vulcan in Pon Farr?

Do you like holo-novels about Klingons?

Where's the line of other crew members waiting to slap?

Now if someone with the photoshop skills could take this scene and replace Robert Stack with Avery Brooks, and the Jehovah's Witness with Kai Wynn. (And the various other woo peddlars from Trek.)

I forgot about that slick shoulder tumble. Stack was surprisingly nimble.

[–] klu9@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I rewound and freeze framed and thought "Damn, that really is Stack doing it himself, not a stuntman!"

(Of course, no move can be as sweet as the Shatner barrel roll or the two-handed punch.)
