/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.

If lemmy ends up being nothing but Gowron memes, I'm ok with that.

[–] sxan@midwest.social 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, but I'm a little sad about Gowron's arc. I liked the character, and I thought his reaction to Martok and ending was... not honorable. The writers did him dirty. Just IMHO.

[–] bitcrafter@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Honestly, I felt that the writers also underserved Worf a bit as well. In TNG, he was (or at least, eventually grew into) a consummate professional. In DS9, it seemed like they took this earned sense of professionalism away from him and turned him into a stereotypical Klingon rage machine who was always on the brink of losing control.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 17 hours ago

Speaking of Worf: I remember seeing Micheal Dorn himself promoting a show he was supposedly filming at the time that was focused on Worf. It was being made right alongside Picard, and I don't know whatever happened to it since Picard came out and this Worf series never came to be.

[–] sxan@midwest.social 2 points 1 day ago

DS9 was a lot of good, some really spectacular great (Garak, the character & the arc!), and some really lousy.

Trek is my emotional support television series

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

I think I always knew this ... your comment just made me realize it more

I'm on Enterprise (ENT) now after just completing DS9 and years ago watching TNG, VOY and more recent years DIS, SNW, PIC and taking my time with LOW

I've resigned myself to watching Trek for the rest of my life. Neat thing about getting old is that you lose your memory so in a few years, I'll be enjoying these shows again like I did the first time I watched them.

Thanks for your comment

TNG/DS9 mostly

Though I currently do not have any streaming accounts so I might need to pick up the DVDs

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

You are indeed a wise pancake.

If you're OK with DVD resolution then grab em. There's little difference for DS9 as it was only filmed for HDTV and on 4:3 digital tape. For TNG they remastered the whole series from the film originals and it's available on 1080p Bluray for about a hundred bucks more than the DVDs. Personally i think it's worth it for the increase in quality but it's all personal taste.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

This appears to be the correct answer.

I have so many questions.

First of all, how dare you? Second of all, is that Jan Hooks? Third, what is that from?

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Yes and Coneheads (1993)

What was the first part again?

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wow. Totally did not recognize that scene at all.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

After instructing her terrible driving, Beldar (Akroyd) says:

When my people come to colonize this planet, your name will be on the protected rolls, and you will come to no harm

Then the bit I posted earlier.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 5 points 2 days ago

Yeah, I'm def bumping this up on my rewatch list. Been on a 90s kick lately and this fits right in.

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

For the empire!!

[–] Batman@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

As a poor, I was very happy to find "free" (still gotta have a device and internet) streaming stations that are all Star Trek, all the time.

Leaving and need some sound for the doggo to drown out the neighbors and keep him from barking? Star Trek channel. Down and need something on to start drawing you outta your funk? Star Trek channel. Cooking, and kinda want to still watch something, but can't fully pay attention? Star Trek channel. Tired of this Trek series and want to watch another? The other Star Trek channel. Pluto stations for sure, and also some others, Freevee, Tubi, Amazon channels, etc.

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 days ago

I guess there are still some reasons to live in the USA.

[–] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 day ago

If you have a device and Internet, you can pirate too

I thought it was cause he didn't chew his Gagh enough.

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 6 points 2 days ago

I watch Trek almost daily.

[–] observantTrapezium@lemmy.ca -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Can I be educated as to what Star Trek Returns is? Is it different to the 2013 to 2017 fan series Star Trek Continues?

[–] aarch64@lemm.ee 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] observantTrapezium@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

Oh! 😅 Thanks.
