/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.

The real difference is that Jonathan Frakes actually knows how to play trombone, and pretty well. Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner don’t play their instruments at all.

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

Spiner, however, is an accomplished singer.

I want the prequel where Riker was in a ska band

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 14 points 4 hours ago

Riker, that is.

[–] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 9 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

He's more of a Swing Revival guy, I think.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Nah, he doesn’t have the right tone for jazz trombone. At least that’s what my band teacher said.

I believe it. Trek is an amazing franchise, but it doesn't really do jazz.

Edit: The end product of suffering...

Isn’t Rom arguably the most important?

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 9 points 2 hours ago

But who was his mentor?

[–] ruuster13@lemmy.zip 18 points 5 hours ago

Trombone lips spread hips

Ackchyually 🤓☝️trombones are made of brass and therefore don't rust, they corrode. The biggest threats to a trombone slide are dents and verdigris

Left out band members with devious minds.

[–] Mnem667@retrofed.com 10 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

No one specified where the dents and verdigis come from

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 10 points 4 hours ago

...if you know what I mean.
