/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.

Oh wow that’s weird. Stargate SG-1 also had an episode where a Lt. Tyler turned out to be an alien infiltrator in disguise: “The Fifth Man”.

That's crazy. Is this a trope I'm just now learning about?

[–] kellyaster@lemmy.world 26 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Oooh, nice catch, both of you. I dunno if Disco or The Orville used "Lieutenant Tyler" as the character name intentionally, but I think you might be the first to document this trope.

If a character named Tyler shows up on Lower Decks we’ll all be on red alert

I was shadowbanned from /r/risa for making a shitpost about it a few years ago 😅

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Maybe in the future "Tyler" is just the most common human surname?

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Anyone named Smith is instantly suspicious.

"Yes, I can hear you Clem Fandango!"

…I am amused that I never caught that before either, and I’m rewatching disco right now lol

Seska from Star Trek Voyager is another example, though she's a Cardassian in the form of a Bajoran, not a human

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Is her last name Tyler?

This also happened in an episode of The Outer Limits (spoilers: https://theouterlimits.fandom.com/wiki/The_Light_Brigade)

The name "Tyler" originates from "tile maker", as in roof tiles. Apparently that occupation is just popular with spies?
