/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.

Is this from Down Periscope? I haven't seen that in years, I don't think I even knew who Patton Oswalt was last time I saw that movie.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 9 points 17 hours ago

pretty sure it is. great movie. now I'm gonna have to go find it.

It'll turn out to be a ruse by Tv's Son of Tv's Frank.

He'll procede to force the crew of the Enterprise to watch b-movie sci-fi.

I guess the Netflix MSTK was an atari situation : just rehypothecate an old brand we happen to own. I'm not sure exactly what happened there but the result is I rarely see praise for it.

That being said, I really liked it. Barbershop quartet in season 2 is a particularly great highpoint of the series.

Unpopular opinion: Maybe the narrative metaphor of the space station is the dash od salt that enhances the flavor of the voiceovers and that's why I didn't get into rifftrax 🤷‍♀️

Still disappointed we never got a season 14, but at least we still get Turkey Day marathons!

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 9 points 19 hours ago

It's a bummer.

Rifftrax is still going, though.

This guy looks like he’s on the way to owning his own moon

His powers of control being demonstrated:

I want them to be quintuplets… oh wait wrong show

[–] Squorlple@lemmy.world 10 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah… you’re thinking of that sci-fi show featuring Adrianne Palicki and cameo appearances by Patrick Warburton

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 3 points 16 hours ago

Ah yes, Stargate Ascendant!!!

[–] Squorlple@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Patton is cool and all, but he’s sort of drifted into the category of quirky stunt casting that Kumail Nanjiani and Jack Black, for example, have fallen into for me

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 12 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I figure between the loss of his wife and raising his daughter, he probably hasn't had as much time for more personally rewarding projects. His stand-up is still solid, at least from when I got to see him a couple years ago.

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

when I got to see him a couple years ago.

very jealous here

I am 100% on board for this

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 5 hours ago

I'm not. Dude shoulda been a ferengi

Now that Youtube has returned to NO AD BLOCKING enshitification, I wonder what Youtube Creators are seeing with their viewing metrics. I switched to In Cognito or Private viewing, which may effect their metrics and monetization.

It's definitely still possible to block ads on YouTube.
