/c/TenForward: 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.

Far more likely there is nothing in front of the ship and riker knows his ass is about to fire some consequence free lasers. He derives great pleasure from the reaction or lack of reaction of the crew on the bridge as he continues to chat about unrelated things

If you fire a weapon in space, someone is going to have a bad day. It just might be thousands or millions of years in the future, light-years away.

Reminds me of this video:

Now, if he took off his pants...that'd be a different story.

i’m sure if we have palm rejection worked out in tablets, ass cheek rejection is absolutely future table-screen tech

My bum is on the console, my bum is on the console. Look at me my bum is on the console.

Unrelated anecdote:

Years ago I had a cheap Blackberry lookalike phone. It had a button lock feature to prevent butt dialing, but some bright spark decided that the lock wouldn't apply to the '9' and '1' keys, presumably so that a user could dial 9-1-1 even if too panicked to unlock the keypad. Which just meant that it was really easy to butt dial 9-1-1...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Had something similar, except that the code on the phone to dial 911 with the keys locked was #08. Keys were so sensitive I couldn't keep my phone in my pocket, had to live in my bag or it'd be dialling emergency services.

As long as the controls are prehensile penis compatible it's all good.

Were just going to ignore that Bryce Dallas Howard is just there, apparently immortal or something?

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

Actually, that's Patricia Tallman. I went to highschool with her son.

It was a joke dude. Dear lord

They use their asses for identification.

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

By sniffing them like dogs? That's hot

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

M'ress and T'ana might disagree.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Arguing over such details is pretty silly when you consider that if we have spaceships in the 24th century they'll probably be completely autonomous, and people will simply ride around in them without even knowing how they work. We just like to make up imperfect but fun stories where the future is the present + gadgets. George Jetson endures rush-hour traffic jams in his space car.

This is one of the things that annoyed me about the latest Dune movies: all the switches in the cockpits of the ornithopters. Nothing else in that universe seems to require switches, but the ornithopters are set up like 1980s helicopters for some reason.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

LOL nice observation, I didn't notice but yeah, that's dead on.

Is it just me or were a lot of crew women in TNG noticeably buxom?

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

Probably just the way the uniform fits. That's Patricia Tallman, who also body doubled for Gates McFadden, and played Lyta Alexander on Babylon 5. She's a hot redhead (even after all these years), but not especially buxom in regular clothes.

Prodigy is a kids show but it still counts as canon, and there are a couple scenes of ass phasering going on.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I... I really hate to be that guy, but... "phasers".

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Among the wider populace it'd be too pedantic, but this is a Star Trek community; put some respec on his name.

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

Thank you. If it weren't for you I'd be "that guy".

Naw. Actually he died in that one so... okay so don't hate me, but he must be in a time loop scenario here!

If I cannot operate a computer with my ass by the 24th century, I'm putting us all in a time loop until someone does something about that.
