/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.

How in the hell did I just now find out Lwaxana Troi was played by Genes wife!

[–] wizzor@sopuli.xyz 5 points 7 hours ago

I was even more surprised when I found out Lwaxana and the enterprise computer had the same actress.

I don't condone AI attempting to "steal" voices of passed actors/actresses, but I'd love to have my car navigation using her voice (either as the computer OR as Lwaxana)

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day ago (1 children)

She did supposedly record her voice for the purpose of using it as the computer before she died, but I've never heard it used.

Building in progress

Oh wait, wrong Franchise.

i remember you used to be able to download voice packs for one of the common map apps (maybe Waze?) but instead of saying the road names it just gave simple commands like turn left and turn right. i betcha you could rip all of those straight from episodes without needing to synthesize anything new

[–] BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Majel was an amazing actress and gorgeous woman.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Agreed on both. And I'm sorry she wasn't in more.

When you are just that good... :-)

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

And if they ever decide to add M'Ress, it will be four.

[–] teft@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Couple more years and we can celebrate her centennial.

I just watched TOS S2E1 the other day, and I was surprised by how much the new Chapel actually looks like her. They cast her really well. Before, I'd really only seen Barrett as Lwaxana.
