/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.

Name a more iconic duo than Jake and Nog

No, I was just wrong

Ah, one of Sisko's two emotions: righteous indignation and baseball.

I think for a few moments he was happier in Emissary when he saw Jennifer in his orb experience.

But then reality kicked back in.

So Willie Mays wins for giving lasting happiness.

Wait don't they have matter replicators that make material wealth and collections... Obsolete?

If you don't need money anymore, then you don't need mine!

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

This is a relic from a bygone era. And it's in mint condition! No replicator could match it, including the carbon dating.

I wanna know how it ended up in an alien's possession to start with. That could be a fun episode; like the intro sequence for Lord of War, but it's some ancient Earth relic that goes through a bunch of shit for hundreds of years to finally settle being a decoration on some Starship Captain's desk.

I'd also accept a variation on that Christopher Walken bit from Pulp Fiction...

"He was captured and put in a Cardassian prison camp. Now he knew if the Cardies ever saw the baseball card it'd be confiscated. He'd be damned if any spoonheads gonna put their scaly grey hands on his limited edition baseball card, so he hid it, in the one place he knew he could hide something: his ass. Five long years, he wore this baseball card up his ass. Then when he died of dysentery, he gave me the baseball card. I hid this uncomfortable piece of cardboard up my ass for two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I sell the baseball card to you."

"Wow! Somehow it still smells like the bubblegum it originally came with!"

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

But why couldn't one. Aren't they basically transporters that just use stored patterns?

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

Something about it being noticeably reconstituted. They've had to authenticate the age of items before, so I imagine they'd know if...

[–] its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

He was also pretty happy to lose that baseball game.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 15 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Note that it's still baseball related.

[–] its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 13 hours ago

Man just loves some baseball.

[–] data1701d@startrek.website 10 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

I love the Jake Nog shenanigans episodes.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 3 points 8 hours ago

ahem that's "NoJay Consortium", if you please.

[–] negativenull@piefed.world 3 points 13 hours ago

Same. They were fun highlights

[–] samburwell96@piefed.social 10 points 14 hours ago

Just watched that one the other day! Its such a fun episode, both a parody and critique.
