/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.

I remembered her guest spot, but didn't know she also directed. Awesome.
Seeing her name in the credits of “Assimilation” made me smile. I know the assignment of this episode might have been random, but someone must have realized how coincidental it was.
EDIT: Lea walking onto the set: “Damn it. They hired me for the time travel, didn’t they?”
That's heavy, Doctor.
Is there something wrong with the Earth's gravitational pull?
Nah doc. It's not heavy, it's my brother.
It's lopsided.
Churrolivia. 'Nuff said.
You just helped me name my next cat thank you. If it's a one eyed cat (or something is neat about one eye) Churrodin. Otherwise, Churrozymandias or Churrodalys, maybe Churrophilia. I like churros.
(also I just learned the name Oilibear I am so using that somewhere)
phlox has 3 wives, and the wives have 3 husbands each. so they likely are used to seeing orgies.
If you wanted to know one of the things that came to Doc Phlox's mind.
Thank you for not judging.
Oh I judge. 4 stars, but the way
"Yes its true, nearly as long as his whole body"
Once our species gets out into space and starts meeting other species .... and creatures, and plants, and organisms, and objects, and shapes of various kinds ... there will be a percentage of our fellow humans who will want to 'do things' with other these other things.
And people'd be like, "There he goes. Homeboy fucked a Martian once."

Aren't the Stranger Things kids underage?
No, they're literally all adults now. They were practically old enough to start getting social security by the final season.
the last season they were all grown up and made too many people cringe because they tried de-age them.
I can't say i understand what that has to do with this (didn't watch the whole show) and I'm guessing they did grow up by the end of it, but pre-2k, there were way fewer restrictions on what kids were allowed to watch at home or in cinemas.
Re-read Phlox's line. Took me a bit too.
Not at this point, no.
Still feels weird that people obsess over them that way though
I never watched the show, I'm vaguely aware it has multiple seasons but zero idea of how much time passes in-universe.
Wouldn't really call that obsessing.
Not you, the weirdos that lust after the actors from the show lol
