/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.

I know we only have the one episode, but honestly Jeffrey Hunter could have really grown into that role nicely if he hadn't turned down the second pilot. Shame he didn't live long enough to revisit Trek I some way. Interesting What-If there.
I like to think that his memory is honoured or respected in some way because of fans that keep remembering his time and what he did. There is a lot of what-if out there ... but at the very least, lots of people remember his name, his image and his story because he is part of a franchise we all know and enjoy.
It might have saved his life, too - if he were playing Capt. Pike he likely wouldn't have had time to do the role where he had the accident that probably led to his death months later.
