/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.

Yes, I think the first time we see Ferengi, in TNG, they pronounce it "hooman". Then, after that, it's always "humon".

The first time we see Ferengi they're extremely weird and use phaser whips.

extremely weird

Putting it mildly.

And then the Lower Decks callback.

LOL, yup. They were supposed to be the new main bad guys, but they made them so weird that we hardly see them again until DS9, and the Cardassians and Borg become the big bad guys.

[–] SatyrSack@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That the DS9 pronunciation, correct?

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Pretty much. About 20 seconds in.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

And they’re both Quark, so he’s at least learned some.
