/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'

Wait.
How the fuck did I somehow not realize that he was also in Clue? I WATCH IT 4 TIMES A FUCKING YEAR. My brain just... never realized it was the same actor. To be fair the only actor in that movie as far I'm concerned is Tim Curry. Everyone else is just their character.
Also EXCELLENT job
Tim curry is quite mesmerizing.
On top that is the singing telegram/former patient is Jane Wiedlin from The Go Go's.
Of course, Tim Curry is just a red herring.
man, I love that clip.
You can see him almost breaking before the "spaaace!"
I think you mean, "SPAAAYSUH!"

use the link generator ... it looks like this []()
- place the image link between the round brackets
- leave the square brackets empty
- lastly place an exclamation mark with no spaces in front of everything '!'
It should look like this
When it's done, you won't see any of this markup and all that will appear is the image or gif
Wait, really? That's hysterical. That might be one of my favorite gags from the movie. It's so fucking left field in comparison to everything else during that scene.
Tim Curry.... My god. Also I'm not sure if you know this but Brennan Lee Mulligan from Dropout/CollegeHumor apparently got hired over a Tim Curry impression. Someone animated one of his impressions and it's... it's good.
CHAIN WALLETS!
Doug forcett / sgt shadwell / david st hubbins too
Is that person in the back ordering fries or something? Why is there a kiosk on the bridge?
They might as well be. I don't remember. I have purged so much of this dogshit season from my brain that I barely recognized it as Season 5. And me not remembering is saying something considering I won Discovery trivia contests. Like... I like Discovery. But this season... what the sweet and sour kentucky fried christ was going through their mind?
Trek usually starts cold and picks up steam later. DSC is doing it backwards. The writing just keeps degrading progressively.
Apparently it's a studio tactic. They don't want good successful long running series any more. The problem for them is that if there is a popular series that lasts longer than three or four seasons, it gets hard to attract new followers and viewers in later seasons. When someone new discovers the show for the first time but then sees that there is three seasons of back story or content to watch, then they're less likely to want to watch. It gets worse when a new viewer sees that there is eight seasons of show to watch. For some that is a good thing but for most it isn't. On the other side are the fans of a show ... no matter how popular a show, the Fandom only grows smaller over time, so studios are not inclined to continue making content for a slowly evaporating fan base. And no matter how big we like to think the Trek community is, it's not big enough for the big corporate studios.
So in the end, the studios prefer to make a popular series for two or three seasons max and then kill it off no matter how popular it is because they know that the viewership degrades over time .... they don't care, it's just economics for them.
Especially being a streaming show you'd figure that would be how they attract viewers.
"holy shit this show is good...wait there are 3 seasons of it I can binge!"
Many people are like that .... I'm like that ... and enjoy being able to watch a good show for 7, 8, 9 seasons but the majority of people everywhere are not like that.
Studios want to put the marketing into brand new shiny things they can have a monopoly on. If they can market the next big hit this year and they're the only ones showing it? They'll make millions or billions. But to market a popular show that went on air 20 years ago and still has good content would mean only a limited viewership and no monopoly on the rights to the show. All that work to just promote an already popular show that is past its prime .... studios will pass on that.
I see. Makes sense, but wouldn't it be better to end the series with a bang rather than a whimper? Then you can start a new series in the franchise, capture the viewerbase again and attract new people.
Fire only coming out of a pipe installed in the walls of the bridge like a Disney attraction.
