/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.

Quite an Alpha Quadrant bias if you ask me...

Unless they are all changelings which would be problematic for other reasons

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's not even Miss Galaxy.

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

At least have a Kelvin. They're right next door in the universe.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Miss Quadrant then.

They had to cancel the Miss Gamma pageant because all the contestants turned out to be Founders.

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 34 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Tribbles never making the finals. Such bullshit.

I also have internally coined “sweater Tribbles” just now but can’t use it in a sentence yet.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

All the runner-ups get to take a Tribble home.

The giant Tribble secretly running the show: “Hehehe, soon…”

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I wish that Andorian would show me her sweater Tribbles....

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

They can't stop fucking for long enough to walk the runway.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Lets hope that's definitely a TOS Gorn, otherwise all the contestants (and audience) will be hatchlings before long.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Who says they aren't already .... it takes a bit of time for the hatchlings to mature inside their hosts.

It would be a great place to spread infection across the galaxy. You'd have contestants coming in from everywhere and then spreading the parasites back to their home worlds.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

This has to be the plot of some movie or tv medical drama. Just can't put my finger on it.

[–] AshMan85@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago (3 children)

The vulcan should not be smiling lol

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago

As it is expected of contestants to smile, logically, she would follow suit.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Even participating in a contest about physical attractiveness is illogical.

[–] AngryishHumanoid@reddthat.com 4 points 3 months ago

Maybe but I bet she'd kill it in the quantum mathematics part of the competition.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 2 points 3 months ago

But she could win a one-year scholarship and a savings bond!

Oh. God dammit

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 17 points 3 months ago

I would point out that the Trill are absent, but they know that beauty comes from the inside.

[–] Donebrach@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago (2 children)

that smile is very obviously that of a Romulan.

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 months ago

I would watch a two part episode that spans seasons about a Romulan spy acting as Ms. Vulcan in order to extract a Federation asset into the neutral zone.

[–] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Romulans have no honor.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No Miss Crystaline Entity?

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The venue needed a chandelier last minute.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 3 points 3 months ago

Oh yeah, ya' gotta get a chandelier!

[–] SurfinBird@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 months ago

Kailash, when it rises

[–] teft@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

I want to see Miss Medusan's swimsuit portion. I heard it drove the crowd insane.

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Humanoids only? I am disappointed in this horrifically outdated competition.

[–] Tenthrow@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Kind of a long haircut for a Vulcan.

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago
[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Orions weren't allowed to participate, skews the judging results.

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Mandatory pheromone testing?

[–] uservoid1@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Kirk: Challenge Accepted!

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Definitely Vulcan.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Kind of a humanoid earth centric female body type bias.

I'd like to see what the Pakleds, Lurians, Tellarites would look like.

Also in terms of sexes .... do other species have two sexes? Just one sex? Or multiple other sexes?

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 5 points 3 months ago

Damndorian!

some uh people out there in our federation don’t have maps and uh I believe that our education like such as in Ferrenginar and uh the Cardassia everywhere such as and I believe that they should our education over here in the federation should help the federation uh or uh should help Ferrenginar and should help the Cardassia so we will be able to build up our future

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 3 points 3 months ago

There's an episode of Amazing Stories that's basically this.
