/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.

He forever has my respect for when he went up to space with bezos, and he was explaining the Majesty of space and got interrupted by bezos being a dumbass and pouring champagne on his wife's tits. The look that fell on shatners face was incredible and immediately endeared him to me
I felt so bad for him when I saw that. Fuck Bezos.
I knew he went to space, I must have missed the champagne incident. Apparently the overview effect doesn't work on everyone.
He’s looking good for 95.
His hands look older than his face. Hard to believe he’s 95.
It's a common problem in starship captains.
Ugh. What a diva, always showing off his beautiful hands.
Whoa that was a deep cut!
Remember, he spent most of his career traveling at relatavistic velocities. 95 Earth years have passed since he was born, but due to time dilation his body has only lived for a fraction of that.
I don't remember the show ever hinting at this. Like the crew of the enterprise who spent signicant portions of their lives at high warp, coming home to meet younger brothers that are now older than them. Does anyone remember any in-show nods to this I might have missed? In any series.
Never. They don't travel at near relativistic speeds, they go faster than light by creating an artificial bubble that bends space. So no time dilation in that universe.
The Impulse engines that Starfleet uses for non warp travel are relativistic sub-light engines. Full impulse is about 0.25c. They make a point of not using them for long periods of time to avoid time dialation issues. When needed they synchronize the ships time with a nearby starbase to make sure they don't drift too much.
I think the 0.25c claim is mostly Technical Manual content and not on-screen canon. The manual also claims that the stardate calendar is designed to cope with time dilation and relativity of simultaneity issues.
“This little maneuver isn’t going to cost us any additional years.”
Perfect, thanks!
95 and still has a full head of hair!
He paid good money for that hairpiece
Probably just had to replant his chest hair.
I hope I have that much hair when I'm 95.
So does he.
I hope I'm still breathing. Hope there's still air
I haven't had that much hair since I was 19, lmao... 😭
what do you guys think about boston legal?
I liked it when Denny shot the child killer in the kneecap because he didn't want to be his lawyer! 😂
Lots of trek alum, plenty of snark, occasionally tackled heavy topics. Overall liked it.
Didn't the two BFF main characters get gay married at the end for totally-nonsexual-benefits reasons?
That does strike a bell as the kind of weird plot they'd have explored. I haven't watched since it aired, but I remember it had both Odo and Quark for a number of episodes.
the first time i watched it i was absolutely not ready for the music
