/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 would absolutely love a mudbath with Lwaxana. She would talk so much shit over really boozy cocktails. I know she's not everybody's cup of tea but I find her pretty charming.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know, she's too babbly for me. I want a conversation where I can get a word in from time to time.

The only thing that perplexes me is why Starfleet hired her to be the voice of the Enterprise computer! And Picard didn't even notice!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Maybe they paid Christine Chapel to use her voice and it just so happens Lwaxana's voice sounds similar.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know, her voice sounded a lot like the TOS Enterprise's computer...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

the TOS

The the original series?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Don't sass me, boy.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can somebody explain this to a non-trekkie.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Probably better to read the synopsis: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Cost_Of_Living_(episode)

It's all innocent, but looks/feels really awkward

So naked kids can sit next to naked adults in the future and everyone's okay with it?

[–] [email protected] 56 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nudity is not inherently sexual; that's just our cultural hangup.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Okay, I can see where you're coming from, but this is nutty and impulsive Alexander next to nutty and impulsive Lwaxana Troi.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The whole episode gives odd vibes. She takes Alexander into the Holodeck, and butters him up with a carnival type thing, then ends up in the mudbath at the end. Not a good look.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Such a weird episode. The guy with his balls gave me the creeps

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And it was a season 5 episode! I could almost forgive it if it was a season 7 episode because season 7 was the "let's throw everything at the wall and see what sticks" season...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Season 5 episode 20: "Cost of Living"

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean, that's what happens in saunas every day. Context matters.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Saunas are usually gender-segregated.

Not that it would matter. Alexander would get angry in the sauna and start cock and cunt-punching.

I traveled in Europe several times and my wife and I on several occasions paid a bit more or found a deal to get four star hotels with public baths and saunas. Most people use them as you think you would with a bit of modesty and cover up. But on two occasions we got caught in a sauna where a Scandinavian or German family came in fully nude with their children who were also nude. I can accept being around other nude adults but even then I'm still uncomfortable. But when it came to children in public, we just quickly packed up and left ... I don't care what cultural differences there are, I'm not sticking around to even talk about it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It's OK now too

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Apparently.

The higher the fewer!

Europeans, Nords and Japs do this all the time.
