/c/TenFoward: 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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable, neither is supporting people who actively want to kill those groups. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 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. 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' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

For those who don't know, depending on who you ask:

Lynch was close to panic. Wracking his brains, he said, “How about that actor we met in London?” That actor was Patrick Stewart, whom the Dune producers had seen in Henry IV. Stewart flew straight to Mexico. But when he arrived, Lynch didn’t recognise him: Stewart had sported a vast beard on stage in London. Shorn of the shrubbery, he looked entirely different – initially, the director had no idea who Stewart was or what he was doing on his set. Stewart had much the same reaction to Sting. A ripple of excitement had passed through the production as The Police frontman arrived to play Feyd-Rautha. Stewart, however, was oblivious to the fuss. He asked Sting what sort of band he played in. “The Police,” said the singer. “You play in a police band?” replied an incredulous Stewart.

Speaking of Gurney Halleck, Sir Patrick Stewart was awarded the role by mistake. In the rush to replace Aldo Ray at the last minute, Lynch thought he was hiring another actor named Patrick Stewart for the role.

Also: apparently the Harkonnen outfits were made from old (used) bodybags.

Also: Is it just me, or is the 1984 Dune more fun than the newer one?

Anything with Linda Hunt in it is going to be the fun version.
