/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.

"Shatner was taken to a local hospital to get checked out, with the source saying the actor was good and resting comfortably."
That article is like a full on obituary. I don't like it.
If you're a celebrity over the age of about 70, I assume every media outlet already has your obituary ready to go and just update them if you do anything notable like winning an Oscar or getting done for noncing.
If the worst happens, all flags to half mast for the One True Kirk.
The other Kirk simply a pain in everyone's neck....
Resting comfortably... Wtf...
If you told me my 94 year old grandma was resting comfortably, I would be packing bags and checking flights.
If you told me my 94 year old grandpa was doing anything other than putzing around in the yard, garage or woodshop I'd be in my car blowing through red lights.
Im sorry, grandpa. Your grandson and a family died because he was blowing through red lights at full speed. Witnesses say he heard you were resting after putzing around with your hobbies all morning.
Edit: autocorrect
That's putzing, you putz
are you suggesting a relationship between resting comfortably and resting in peace?
Frequently that phrase is used when there's "nothing more they can do" but have given a lot of pain meds.
The phrase isn't worrisome unless the patient is in hospice. To me it just means he was seen by medical professionals and is chilling in a hospital bed while they double check labs and such. Been there, done that.
