/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.

Freak Uncle every time, no questions, no substitutions.

For me, only because it seems he's not true to period. Earlier Zefram was a 1960's astronaut; a Steve Austin, or Buck Rogers.

This!! Science fiction is always about the real world, no matter what the setting.

Uhura the Communications Officer was a thing in TOS because radiomen were a big deal in WW2. By the time TNG came along, the 'radioman' wasn't something contemporary audiences would relate to.

Although if you think about it, assuming he’s the same age as James Cromwell during First Contact, Cochrane would be about 17 at the moment.

Filter that into your assumptions about his music tastes…

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Everyone knows that modern pop music is shallow and ephemeral, and that by your 30's you've come to appreciate real, quality music made in the 50-70's, like the 1960 Larry Verne classic "Mr Custer."

People change over the course of a few centuries

Yeah, I guess. And then he gets to bang that weird alien, inside the body of that woman. I guess it's technically a threesome, every time they do it.

I feel personally attacked by the second pic. Pls remove.

What if I go pick you up a couple 12-packs of Coors Light and a big grip of Slim Jims? Then we're cool?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You had us at coors light.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Yeah but the slim jims are a nice touch.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Throw in a bag of pork rinds and we gotta deal!

Solomon Epstein, didn't get past light speed, but kudos for going all in and sticking with the project.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

I always wondered how people knew he succeeded, he literally yeeted himself into deep space.

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

reak Uncle, 100%, far more trustworthy in a crisis than Shiny, Well-Groomed Loner. He was really hateful to the space ghost when he first found out she wanted to Bev him.

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

EXACTLY. Uncle Zef never would have been an annoying square, like that.

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

Yes. He would have gotten some consensual noncorporeal lovin' and saved the Federation Commissioner, too. Or at least figured out a way to get her safely on her way to therapy. There would have been 99% less whining, if Freak Uncle had been there.
