/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.

3x16: Doctor's Orders
Sorry, Shawn, I have my own job to do.
Why do they look like toddlers standing in front of their parents with beshitted pants?
Also, I welcome the recent uptick in Enterprise-posting.
They're in front of the warp core with the camera looking down from the top of it. The rest of the crew is asleep to protect them from a spacial anomaly, and Phlox needs to start the warp reactor to get them out of it (the anomaly expanded while they were transiting it). I think the camera angle is that way to make the warp core more intimidating.
Spoiler
Phlox is also tripping balls, lol, and T'Pol isn't actually there.
I know, just forgot how goofy they looked. That episode was a trip.
Trip was sleeping you silly.
Come on Shawn, you have to put in a little effort. If I ask "what have you tried" and the answer is "it doesn't work" I'm going to start charging you.
If the answer to "what have you tried?" is anything non-specific, I always take that to mean "nothing." lol
Well, it was a few years before the definitive text came out...
Once, I cited a podcast to reference something I was saying and I got multiple responses from people telling me that podcasts are not sources and that it was not possible for them to verify what was said.
I mean, I kind of agree with that?
I guess it depends who's doing the podcast and whether they're an authoritative subject matter expert on the topic. Unless the podcast cites references on its page? (I'm not a big podcast guy lol).
The podcasts I listen to (for news) generally cite their sources verbally. And to those commenters, that’s why it didn’t count. It would have required them finding the podcast and listening to it.
The audio equivalent of “I ain’t reading that.”
A bit like the equivalent of pointing that the source is in a random 5000 pages book collection, IDK exactly where.
"I ain't reading that" is the exact response you should get if you use videos or podcasts as a source, unless it's a specific part of it and you add the timing instructions.
Tbh as a source anything but text with possibly limited images and video is kinda garbage. As much as people don’t like to hear it. It’s easier to store and the information is at-least searchable. Often times I find audio and video is organized much much worse and doesn’t work very good as authoritative material. Unless it’s being used as a source for quote or something someone did anyway, and only if it’s a recoding of someone making the statement / action
