/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. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

In The Original Series in the 60s, people had no idea what the future would look like or what technology would look like. In one of the early episodes, they had a paper print out machine on the bridge that looked like a fax machine, which was considered futuristic in the 1960s.
Like the example of the Enterprise fax machine, what technology or system do you think are we displaying in the current Star Trek shows that will show how dated we will become in the future?
Yeah: It'll be your brain in a jar (or just stored digitally) and you'll just get a new body 3D printed when you arrive at your destination... After landing.
You go ahead. I'll keep my brain inside my body, thank you.
But it might enjoy the peace and quiet of a tank!
Calm down, Dr Pulaski.
Considering how often it fucked up, I'd say she and McCoy were right on about the transporter.
Okay, but what if somebody offers to non-invasively copy your brain and send that copy out into the cosmos to one day 40,000 years from now land on another habitable planet?
What if they're going to send out 10 copies? In 10 different directions? Sure, you may pass away, and the spark that makes you unique in all of the history of the universe may receede with the ocean tides of time, but if you had the option to be partially temporarily more than mortal would you take it?
It isn't me if it's a copy.
...says the copy.
This is where I'm hung up on this too. I'm not against cloning my grey matter for, well, whatever purposes provided they're ethical. But that's hardly immortality for this individual typing right now.
I agree. It's basically a way of having children with yourself. It's not you even if it has the same genetic material as you for the same reason identical twins are not one person.
What if in 40,000 years after a long development, knowledge acquisition, evolution and so much lost time that those same brains decide to return to their origins and come back together and battle one another for supremacy over all the others to become the single and only .... ONE
The Highlander series is finished and does not need a reboot thank you very much
