/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. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Every time I rewatch a Ro Laren episode, I get upset that we don't have more Ro Laren episodes.

She gained some rank and got command of her own Battlestar:

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 18 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm gonna be real with you, chief, I HATED Admiral Cain.

As far as I'm concerned, the only good thing she did was deliver a spare Battlestar to Adama.

[–] hobowillie@lemmy.world 22 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You were supposed to hate Admiral Cain. She was a military dictator and, more important, a mirror to the path Adama considered in the mini-series.

The Pegasus arc was so fucking good.

Years ago, I tried so hard to get the SyFy Channel/NBC to give me the rights to do a BSG audio drama taking place on another ship in the fleet parallel with the TV series' story arc that would incorporate things like fleetwide announcements in the TV show into the story.

So if the President or Adama makes a speech at some point, they hear it on the ship and react to it.

Alas...

Now that's some Pride rep.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago

And never will again bar a prequel. 😢

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago

The role of kira on ds9 was originally supposed to be Ro. You could have had a whole series with her as a main character.

[–] Aeri@lemmy.world 33 points 5 months ago (1 children)

My only issue with juneteenth is I wish it had a cooler name.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Really? I quite like the name.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@kbin.run 16 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

Anytime one can make or use a portmanteau is a good time. Ain't nobody got time for all those syllables.

[–] Muscar@discuss.online 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

No time for spelling either I see.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@kbin.run 5 points 5 months ago

"Tis a narrow mind than can think of but one way to spell a word."

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 2 points 5 months ago

If you are going to point out someone's spelling you could at least be courteous about it.

[–] kellyaster@lemmy.world 29 points 5 months ago (1 children)

All these pride memes are awesome. And you guys are so awesome

[–] Zink@programming.dev 21 points 5 months ago

Hear, hear!

It’s always great to see some part of humanity pushing towards those utopian Star Trek society ideals.

[–] Stampela@startrek.website 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

And there’s a substantial overlap with the “white lives matter too” lot!

[–] Zink@programming.dev 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This image could totally have some kind of ethereal Jesus-like figure floating above them with its arms out ready to embrace them, with a big BLM pasted on its forehead.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You just described Sisko in his Prophet form

[–] Zink@programming.dev 3 points 5 months ago

Well shit that was a missed opportunity!

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

Bro how you gon be upset about getting the day off?

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Wait, was Ensign Ro LGBTQ+?

I thought that sort of thing wasn't really allowed in 90s Trek, unless the writers could sneak it past Rick Berman. Obligatory: Fuck you Rick Berman!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

She was queer on BSG. Close enough.

[–] Philharmonic3@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

How about celebrating some of the best things to happen each year?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Upsetting the biggest pieces of shit in the world is one of the best things to happen each year,
