/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

So they aren't entirely left out, here's everyone's favorite holodeck power couple:

TNG 608: "A Fistful of Datas"

For some reason I find this look to be more attractive than most of Troi’s outfits in TNG.

She always looks beautiful, and all that, but Marina Sirtis could have killed it in a western.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Honestly her acting is vastly underutilized, she’d also make for a delightfully twisted villain I’d imagine.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

It apparently happened in a comic TNG Mirror Universe series:

Can't speak to her effectiveness, as I only found out while searching for other nonsense.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Totally could. Just went digging through her IMDB credits, but turned up nothing. She'd be a natural.

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I read

Totally would.

and almost choked on the water i was drinking.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Kinda in the market for a sugar momma as it is, so not exactly wrong. Shit's expensive.

[–] Limonene@lemmy.world 32 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My favorite holodeck exit is the ending of TNG S6 E12, Ship in a Bottle. It's the episode with nested holodecks inside holodecks.

At the end, Barclay says "Computer, end program," and smiles, satisfied that nothing seems to have happened. But then the credits roll. He ended the program.

What about in Generations? Don’t they exit the holodeck in their naval uniforms?

[–] EndlessApollo@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I was about to say this, it was fun seeing them on the bridge in those uniforms cx

Worth checking out the cinema sins of this. For literally no reason other than a good panning shot, most of the crew walk in from the standard turbo lift, while Picard walks out of the doorway from the observation lounge...all still wearing that period gear

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Thanks for the recommendation.

[–] RustyShackleford@literature.cafe 10 points 1 month ago

I was thinking this myself, but I also remembered, Picard, was a man for period-correct attire and could easily see him ordering it for the occasion.

Man why'd you have to remind me of that lol, they hyped it up like he was going to be so much more involved and then wasn't lmao

Hey wait a minute, that isn't Reginald, it's Reg! He's a big phony!

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The Battle of Clontarf/Brian Boru one would have been my favorite, but you took that away from me.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (4 children)

No Oddjob crouching, no screenwatching!

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

A salute your shorts gif?!

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 1 month ago

Hell yeah. Salute Your Shorts 😃

I loved that show as a kid. Anyone know if it's any good rewatched as an adult, with or without the company of Blazin' Bev?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't even recognize the last one with O'Brien and Bashir. When the hell did they do a Gilligan's Island holodeck episode? 🤔

Edit: finally found the response gif.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You do realize you can make gifs right?

[–] SatyrSack@feddit.org 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nah, I'm pretty sure they grow on bushes

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The Lemmy gif bush, we couldn’t think of a name so we asked him and he went with ummthatguy the Lemmy gif bush. He’s where my gifs get gifted.

Sure, but I'm at work on mobile. If I can source it otherwise, still gravy.
