/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.

Well it's a 14-year-old phase.

She likes animation a lot and doesn't even care about Lower Decks! Sigh.

I can't get her into MST3K either. What have I been raising?

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

But but... Lower Decks has Eugene Cordero! MST3k has Crow T Robot! Does she know about Eugene and Crow?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

She knows about Crow. Eugene not so much. She doesn't know who Jerry O'Connell is either. Has she not seen Stand By Me and Sliders?

Oh wait, she hasn't.

How much of the stuff your parents watched did you get into?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

A huge amount, but then my dad was a film historian.

Mine turns eleven this month. Dislikes Star Wars and Star Trek. Loves magical girl anime and Pokemon. We have been able to share some stuff though: Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, Netflix She-Ra, Gravity Falls, ATLA and Korra. However, if people spend 1% too long in a spaceship, she is DONE.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Mine loves "obscure" anime, cult movies and non-fictional stuff. She also loved She-Ra, Gravity Falls, Avatar, etc. Just the sci-fi stuff turns her off overall. If it's weird cult movie sci-fi she tends to like it, but straight up sci-fi bores her.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

as far as weird cult scifi movies go, we loved At The Earth's Core starring ~~Troy~~ Doug McClure and Peter Cushing. MST3K does it, but they take out the two best scenes. the one where they get attacked by a fire-breathing big mac box and the one where Peter Cushing yells "you can't mesmerize me, I'm British".

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

She's more into weird stuff like Forbidden Zone, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Repo Man, etc.

She watched Birdemic unriffed and thought it was hilarious. She's an odd kid.

What about prodigy? Lower Decks is kinda meh at the beginning TBH.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

So is Prodigy though. I didn't stick with it at first because the first two or three episodes weren't great. I'm glad I went back to it.
