/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.

Need Clancy Brown in here.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Already there as an equally shady character.

[–] raspberry_confetti@lemmy.ml 23 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I'm convinced Archer is just Sam Beckett from Quantum Leap, trying to figure out what he has to do to make the next leap and getting increasingly frustrated that all his ideas aren't working.

Oh, I'd watch the hell outta that show! Can just see Archer stuck in Sam's shoes ..

He should never have let Zygy go

[–] WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, but he'd be perfect for the badmiralship. So there are two people who happen to have extremely similar physical characteristics many decades apart - it's not like doppelgangers don't already exist.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Those people in the base meme are all actually played by jeffrey combs.

[–] WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why hire anybody else? I understand his Lwaxana Troi is amazing!!

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Pics or it didn't happen... pwetty puh-lease? :-P

Omg this is so much worse than I could ever have imagined! Pure nightmare fuel.

...thanks! 👍

weyoun is a shapeshifter, it makes sense.

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He could do that with a combadge:

The enemy can't fire phasers if you disable his hand.

Defending Section 31:

So long as he gets a dance number in there somewhere.

Admiral #6 Guy Fleegman

[–] Angryhumanoid@fedinsfw.app 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

There's no way Tennant's hair in there is regulation. Shit they wouldn't even give Ro a religious or cultural exception for her earring! I'm pretty sure it drove her to terrorism if I recall correctly.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Bald Tennant is a bit too Lex Luthor.

His TARDIS is just the Guardian of Forever.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

less powerful version, since the tardis cant travel between universes easily, or other realities.

[–] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It can typically, as discussed in season 2 or 3 when they accidentally end up in a parallel universe - but during the time war they closed off those paths or something? I dunno I haven’t watched those episodes in a year lol

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

yea it was the dalek that created the void ship, which was in the void between universes, so they weakened the barriers, then the cyberman followed the dalkes to the prime universe and used a combination of tech to fully break down the wall between universes, until the doc fixes it in the next epsiodes. at least they dint go full multiverse trope.

[–] FippleStone@aussie.zone 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nice man, you really know your Dr. Who

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago

doctor 9-10,11 are probably the newer golden age of who, the recent ones just arnt that good(aside from the various villian arcs), i think it comes down to the showrunners, its either RTD or MOFFAT.

[–] Angryhumanoid@fedinsfw.app 3 points 1 month ago

Nicholas Hoult is one of my all time favorite actors, but I will take Tennant in a frickin HEARTBEAT.

[–] SatyrSack@quokk.au 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Michael's luscious locks were far more egregious than that in some seasons. I remember scenes where she is in hand-to-hand combat and her long hair is whipping around, getting in the way. No way that is practical.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Her hair didn't get long until some time after they'd jumped to the 32nd century. By then, I imagine a lot of regulations went by the wayside for the sake of recruitment. Though, I do still stand by your argument. Impractical to various faults.

[–] Angryhumanoid@fedinsfw.app 1 points 1 month ago

I'm sorry, I can only accept Star Trek shows that are canon in this argument like The Orville, or Galaxy Quest.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 8 points 1 month ago

Tennant good...but what if capaldi

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Christoph Waltz

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How about some Tim Robbins.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

As long as it's crazy Tim Robbins from Pick of Destiny.

[–] Australis13@fedia.io 6 points 1 month ago

Charles Dance (who also would make an excellent Master in Doctor Who).

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 4 points 1 month ago

Brendan Gleeson

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago

walken would be a headless horseman that keeps coming back to life.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago

glenn close would be like admiral neyachek, her role in damages is her being very indifferent when she goes after people,

Omg, Badmiral Simmons was the best thing I never knew I wanted
