/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. 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.

Worf deserves a traditional klingon cleavage window.

Krypton

Klingon

Coincidence? I think not...

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Settle down Mr. Kropp...

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Imagine dropping some of your gagh in there or spilling some blood wine into that funnel ... and we all know that Klingons are pretty messy eaters too.

In klingonese boob window when translated literally is "flavor saver".

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I just cupped my mouth and nose when I imagined what that might smell like ... especially after a day of living on a hot sweaty Bird of Prey warship.

[–] teft@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Like warm targ ass drenched in gagh....

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

Imagine working in a Klingon laundry room

Perhaps it is a good day to die.

[–] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 24 points 5 months ago (2 children)

At least they are not skantaly clad.

I love the extra effort here.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 15 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Sooo much extra effort lol. This is what I do when I'm on meetings and am not actively speaking/presenting.

Just ignore the left shoulder that's just kind of out there; it's just padding...like the pecs in the uniforms.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 5 months ago

I honestly think that's a better look. Maybe that uniform would have stuck around longer with the Troy neckline.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 20 points 5 months ago (1 children)

My personal take is that when a new species/planet joins the Federation they get to design a new uniform for Star Fleet. The Betazeds picked the miniskirts from TOS.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago (3 children)

That would actually be fun headcanon.

Who do you think made the monster maroons?

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 5 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

The lost era uniforms are when Starfleet decided they were mature grown ups now. They adopted the Enterprise's insignia across the fleet and stop letting ships/captains have any say over the uniforms. By the time we get to TNG they've relaxed it a bit again.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No idea, I'm not a super-fan.

I will say that I like those uniforms the best of all the iterations. Maybe because Wrath of Khan is my favorite movie?

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Favorite movie is Wrath of Khan

Headcanons the Betazed being responsible for TOS uniforms

I think you’re a bigger fan than you realize.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 7 points 5 months ago

A friend once told me this. If you call someone a 'fanboy' and they chuckle and nod, they are just a fan. If you call them a 'fanboy' and they go into a two hour diatribe on how their devotion is perfectly justified and rational, then you've got a 'fanboy.'

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)
[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

I seriously doubt they’re in the Federation. Especially during that time.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I was joking. Maybe it was a Tholian spy that thought the uniforms would hamper Kirk

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

Now that is headcanon I can get behind.

"Data is jacked", there, ftfy:-)

[–] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

"Data has jacks." Even in the far future, RS-232 still works!

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They're not jacks, they're Data ports.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

And they are jacked with fully functioning jacks?

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 11 points 4 months ago

I'll be in my bunk.
