/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.

Honorable Mentions:

  • Inertial dampeners fail in both
  • DM calls it "FTL drive" but it's warp drive in all but name
  • Subspace communications
  • Both have mirror universes
  • Discovery's experimental spore drive is Dark Matter's experimental "Blink" drive in all but name

Edit: Had one I meant to include but forgot: Killer Barrels

Bonus: Has Detmer and Sam Kirk too.

"Wil Wheaton"

I scared the dog laughing.

That got me too

I welcome any future Dark Matter memes in my Trek shitposting community thank you very much. 🤞

And who's the murderous android? Don't remember her.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

She's the, uh, pleasure model they find in storage and re-assemble (very much like how Lore was found).

SpoilerOne of their enemies programmed her to go homicidal after she was...utilized.

Honestly don't know how you could forget dunking the cosmic doughnut but I guess we're all just hanging on to pieces of what we've truly experienced.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

That's wild I do NOT remember that all. 💀

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

She's also in one of the John Wick movies.

There's a community for Dark Matter now, BTW: [email protected]

The androids of both shows feel the most human chars of the lot (to me personally).

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

I loved that show, it had a great universe, and would’ve been awesome if it hadn’t got cancelled.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

Yes, I support the addition of Dork Matter and Killjoys references to our database.

It is indeed

Who's that girl augment? Asking for a friend

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

That’s Melissa O'Neil. She also plays officer Lucy Chen in The Rookie. IIRC, she actually started as a singer and then transitioned into acting.

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

I knew I'd seen her before so I looked it up. She's also in the criminally underrated iZombie

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

This looks cool. Is it just one season?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

There's 3, but it ended on a cliffhanger right as a bunch of plot points from each season were converging into a bigger threat. 😠

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

I’ll still check this show out. The girl who is an enhanced person is in “The Rookie” and I like her character.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I enjoyed the first season so much I bought it, but don't remember much about the other two.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Thanks! I was a little confused because Wikipedia just has one season listed.

I searched for it uhh… somewhere and noticed that there are two different shows called “Dark Matter” that was kind of confusing. The one that is referenced here did not show up on google or the Wikipedia page when I did a casual search.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Book is the source material, though haven't read it yet.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I thought you meant the recent ‘Dark Matter’ on AppleTV and got really confused for a minute. Although apparently they share an actor.

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

For a second, I got excited that the Apple Dark Matter actually was a continuation of this one.

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

I just came to say the same thing. I have not seen this show from 2015, but did watch the Apple show recently. I was very confused!
