/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.

Surely someone else on the 1000+ crew of Enterprise D was qualified to tend to Broccoli's psychological needs. Also, shouldn't his actions have resulted in a court martial or at least a demotion?

Still the most uncomfortable looking outfit to me. More pressure points than a bra and no support. Take it off and she'd just have two big red triangles on her chest.

  1. He actually did say to keep one program at the end of the episode.
  2. It took place in Holodeck 4 😬, IIRC, but whatever. I’m the one who is crazy and keeps editing my memes four times and reposting them because I noticed a spelling error. Lol.
[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, believe me, I've been called out several times for such errors. Corrected most of them, but it gets tedious. I try to be more astute about it, yet the brigades will always make themselves known. In this case, I used Holodeck 3 as it's the one most referred to in the series.

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

I wouldn’t have noticed it except for a recent RLM video I posted here specifically about a lot of the errors you see in TNG Blu-rays, lol

And in his OTHER other holodeck program:

So Barclay was on the Enterprise. Wouldn't that imply that he was one of the best Starfleet had to offer? Dude was probably a fuckin genius on engineering, but like, he just wanted to do that. They kept trying to get him to do other stuff. And fuck you Wesley dude's fuckin nervous don't make fun of him.

Holodeck stuff was still creepy tho.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Talented? Without a doubt. Troubled? Absolutely. Tends to go hand in hand with specialized, technical work. Westley's his own variation of nutcase, but he'd been used to being rewarded for his accomplishments and is known to belittle others he might deem competitors. There's a pointed attention to a lack of social awareness of various characters on Trek, but without any of the back end of how to handle those situations in a healthy way.

Gordie created a fake version of a real person who was married and then proceed to fall in love with it.

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Right? At some point you have to wonder if culturally, it's just expected that federation officers with holodeck access will just make versions of real people and not even think twice about it. Which, while creepy to us, of that's the world Barclay lives in, then it's slightly less creepy.

Still creepy though.

Wasn't he the first person from the Alpha quadrant that managed to regain contact with Voyager? No small feat I imagine.

EDIT: Ok, i was the second time contact with Voyager happened, but still.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 points 1 year ago

He was the one who established communications with Voyager on purpose, as well as maintaining it long-term. That first time it happened was a total fluke of luck and also in the past.
