/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.

Bonus 30 Rock Crossover:
Ash Tyler: This is my wife, Janelle Tyler, maiden name Tyler. Hopefully no relation.
The name "Tyler" originates from "tile maker", as in roof tiles. Apparently that occupation is just popular with spies?
This also happened in an episode of The Outer Limits (spoilers: https://theouterlimits.fandom.com/wiki/The_Light_Brigade)
Seska from Star Trek Voyager is another example, though she's a Cardassian in the form of a Bajoran, not a human
Is her last name Tyler?
Clem Fandango, of course.
"Yes, I can hear you Clem Fandango!"
Oh wow that’s weird. Stargate SG-1 also had an episode where a Lt. Tyler turned out to be an alien infiltrator in disguise: “The Fifth Man”.
That's crazy. Is this a trope I'm just now learning about?
Oooh, nice catch, both of you. I dunno if Disco or The Orville used "Lieutenant Tyler" as the character name intentionally, but I think you might be the first to document this trope.
I was shadowbanned from /r/risa for making a shitpost about it a few years ago 😅
If a character named Tyler shows up on Lower Decks we’ll all be on red alert
Maybe in the future "Tyler" is just the most common human surname?
Anyone named Smith is instantly suspicious.
…I am amused that I never caught that before either, and I’m rewatching disco right now lol
