/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.

Me during and after seeing it:

Put it off for about a week, looking at the "watch next" button and scrolling away a bunch. It's good, but dammit, it hits hard.

Reminder from Iaranis to add s4e2 "The Visitor"

God, I can't watch that episode without calling my dad after.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 22 points 5 months ago

Good on ya, dude

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I haven't watched DS9 in a long time. I don't have a dad to call anymore. Not sure how I'd feel if I watched it now.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I’m a dad, so you can call me.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm a dad too. But I can't call myself.

[–] Repelle@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I can buy you a second phone if that would help.

Tony Todd needs to be in all the things. He is such a brilliant actor that I even looked forward to Kurn episodes, unlike any other Worf's family story lines.

cough Alexander cough

Must be coming down with something. Although, A Fistful of Datas is fun despite his presence.

How tf are you not on the https://startrek.website instance, these gifs are great

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

I have an alt account there I use when things go fuckey over here, but as for the communities, well let's just say I'm here for various reasons. Also, the gifs aren't mine. I just search and source as needed.

"We look for GIFs to make us go.

We are meme kings, now."

Gut-wrenching, puts you through an emotional wringer, and leaves you feeling empty inside.

Absolute masterpiece, would watch again, A+++++

[–] HuntressHimbo@lemm.ee 9 points 5 months ago

My favorite episode of trek. I am basically incapable of watching it without being reduced to blubbering

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Thanks. Forgot to add that info as I've been doing lately.

[–] laranis@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Your post inspired me to go rewatch it...

The first time I saw it I was the son. Now, I'm the father.

Hits hard both ways.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Worfspeed my friend. Bring some tissues.

[–] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I need to actually give DS9 a proper watch. I've only seen scattered episodes out of order. I know that I've never seen this one.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

It's not one that can readily be swept out of mind.

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 5 points 5 months ago

Phenomenal episode.

[–] Klanky@sopuli.xyz 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

So, I’m not a big fan personally. Like, I get why people love it but it just doesn’t do anything for me. And I’m a dad to boot.

[–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

It's not for me either. I really do appreciate what the episode does, mechanically, with its storytelling. It just doesn't land for me. I'm glad so many people enjoy it.

[–] rezz@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

It’s a straight ass episode and I totally never understood the praise. It’s not a skipper for me, but I’ll never rewatch it. It’s a completely middle of the road DS9.
