/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

SW Ontario here but also spent a lot of childhood without cable.

TVO was a godsend allowing us to watch Black Adder, Red Dwarf and Doctor Who.

If I recall TOS was aired on CBC as well.

I was without cable in northern Ontario and most of the time we also saw a lot of stuff over the air with CBC and TVO .... especially with Elwy Yost 'Saturday Night At The Movies' who gave me a great appreciation for classic film, film noir and everything black and white.

And it was weird .... as a kid I complained to my parents about not being to watch anything so I just sat and watched Elwy Yost interview people and talk about old films while I never really understood anything ... but over many years of seeing it all, it got me interested in wanting to know why these old films were so important ... I now have a whole collection of these old classic films and I love watching them all ... Thanks Elwy

Omg same! A part of me died when SNATM transitioned to his kid and then he died. My love of movies comes from him. I'm 46 but one of my favourite movies is the Angela Lansbury "The Picture of Dorian Gray" from 1945.

We also forgot Prisoners of Gravity! Seeing interviews with comic, sci-fi and fantasy authors talking about their craft!

The 80's truly was a magical time for TV in Ontario.
