/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.

Sisko seems like the type of guy that you invite to a party and he spends the whole evening in your kitchen because the marinara that came with your mozzarella sticks “doesn’t have enough kick to it”

[–] GoodbyeBlueMonday@startrek.website 15 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Sisko can and should show up on SNW to help Pike get his jambalaya recipe just right, then vanish without any explanation other than that he needs to get back to his children and wife.

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Sisko insists it's important to the future, but really he just can't personally accept the existence of sub-standard jambalaya at any point in history.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern 3 points 9 months ago

Nor should he.

[–] Damdy@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Kick should be in italics, then I could hear him saying that.

[–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 60 points 9 months ago (1 children)

People are always getting Kirk and Picard backwards.

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 25 points 9 months ago

While that post is technically correct, they're only bringing up stuff from their youths. Picard mellowed out a hell of a lot as he got older and is an extremely calm and diplomatic individual by the time he takes command of the Enterprise. Kirk cheating on the Kobayashi Maru was his first step in realizing that he could get away with almost anything if the results were good enough. These experiences do help them a lot later on, though; Picard's reckless and rebellious phase means that later on he was extremely good at keeping his cool in dangerous situations and assessing risk, while Kirk's intelligence and knowledge is why he's able to make his zany plan work even though he only came up with it five seconds ago.

Picard is like if Indiana Jones was injured and had to stick to just teaching.

Kirk is like if Velma Dinkley started solving mysteries by punching out the monster the first time they met.

How can you forget Christopher "beep-beep" Pike?

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Or Carol Freeman?

Edit: it's a lot like Voyager's review, isn't it?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Review: "Didn't say much, was not very encouraging. Would only answer questions with a yes or no."

[–] teft@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

Review so cold it could have been written by an andorian.

I strongly suspect Discovery was written and acted by people who have never seen actual shit or suffered trauma.

If they had, perhaps they would realise that people who've been through a lot are often the (seemingly) calmest or least emotional person in the room when shit hits the fan. It isn't their first rodeo. Or they're bitter and angry arseholes. Basically Jean Luc Picard or Liam Shaw are far more realistic portrayals of people who have gone through shit.

ADHD helps.

"I have experienced this moment 44 times in my head."

"Oh this argument? I was up late three nights in a row running through every possible iteration."

"Dude! Why were you so calm last night? That was a huge fire and you just sort of calmly grabbed your drink and bag and walked out the door. I saw it!

"I have experienced that moment more times than you can possibly imagine."

[–] Dead_or_Alive@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Discovery always struck me as a sci-fi show written by the same people who wrote Gilmore Girls, General Hospital, Greys Anatomy or any other dramatic series.

It’s the over the top Drama Trek.

Can we talk about the kids that Janeway had with Paris, that they just abandoned on some distant planet?

[–] Iceblade02@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Say what now? Have I purged this episode from my mind?

[–] laverabe@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Dna altering future reptiles

[–] Iceblade02@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Ohh yes that does ring a bell

2x15 "Threshold"

[–] blahsay@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Oh man discovery. It always seemed like it was written by that guy who was crying and screaming for people to leave Brittney alone.

if Sharn had called Sisko black skin he would have punched him so hard that Weyoun would have felt it.

Team Archer right here! ^^

[–] Magnetar@feddit.de 2 points 9 months ago

Hey, a new planet. Maybe I can lick it?

[–] Wanderer@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago

Bring back short skirts in sci-fi!

Well bring back everywhere really.

[–] Klanky@sopuli.xyz 5 points 9 months ago (2 children)

So while not loving Discovery, it’s not so much the crying that got me, I just always feel like I’m watching therapy…innnn spaaaace. It just isn’t very interesting to me personally. I still found it enjoyable enough though.

Nothing about the fancy espresso bar #3 offers to all employees (all employees but her excepted)?

[–] laverabe@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

I relate to Janeway the most. Like no coffee? Please cease talking until coffee... ...need coffee.

I mean you're 70000 light-years from Earth, it's ok to have some vices.

[–] Blackout@kbin.social 1 points 9 months ago (8 children)

"a murder" implies only one

[–] teft@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Not if it's in regards to crows.
