/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. 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. 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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

I hated him, but that's just a metric of how good acting and writing there was. This cartoon has a certain flavor to it, like an old doom metal record found in the garage probably. And authors did a lot more than I expected from these series, with all these quotes and references, and it feels somehow fitting with the cheap style of 90s cartoon, it kinda adds to the feeling of a lost media treasure no one but you knows of. Thanks for reminding me about it. And for that I'm to share my beloved quote by Goliath: 'As long as we are together, there's our home', that, albeit simple, stroke me with a thought of home being not just a place, or not a place at all, but your treasured people (or, well, gargoyles) making home wherever they are, that rings very right with me at that time when I hate my current surroundings and gravitate towards those who understand me. That's kinda telling about it's quality if people can recall the quotes from an old show by memory. It feels like I need to rewatch it once again. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing. I love comments like this. Just real people, real experiences, no stupid punchline, no clean-cut, curated experience. Just people talking.

Those are the moments I love the most. It’s interaction not competition and it’s sad that that’s become a rare thing.

We became afraid of being sentimental or wrong because modern internet does encourage that. I thank Lemmy for sometimes I feel like I can tell something there wihtout trying to win over someone, to be right and get upvotes. I recently replied supportively to a person I've taken a fight with a week ago, and that seems organic to what we people do over time. It's just a simple message from me, nothing to write home about, really, but I'd like for web to become less edgy and more diverse and accepting. That's the way to encourage more people to open up.
