/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.

Jesus this gets dark fast.

I feel like Darth Maul should be on the list, just to demonstrate the level of anger inspired by people mixing the two series.

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Make it the Death Star, Maul has been through enough, let the man rest

What if everything in the Star Trek universe was just one grand holodeck simulation and everything we've seen them go through in all the shows, all the movies, all the animations and all the books were just a runaway holodeck program that some junior officer made.

And it turns out the actual Star Trek universe is a lonely empty experience as their ships go wandering around nearby star systems and haven't met any other species yet. It's just a boring repetitive experience that leaves everyone feeling a deep sense of Galactic loneliness as it will take them many centuries of exploration before they eventually meet another species .... and also a species that is not humanoid or familiar to us at all.

What is β€œthis motherfucker”?

Also confused. Star Trek branded 55gal drum of lube?

Edit: for posterity, the blue barrel reminded me of an older meme around an Amazon listing for a 55gal drum of lube that was also just a generic blue barrel

That's the barrel that paralyzed Worf

[–] verity_kindle@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Lol, I thought it was just a background with logo, that it represented Starfleet as the villain.

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 22 points 1 year ago

Lmao, oh, ok

He's one of the best villains in all of media.

Depending on our definition of best, I'm going to vote Worf's parenting, clearly the most devastating.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Once again, poor Jeremy Aster was forgotten about. lol Alexander isn't the only kid Worf abandoned.

[–] CoconutKnight@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jeremy who?

(This is both a joke and a genuine question)

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 18 points 1 year ago

He was a kid on the Enterprise whose lieutenant mom was killed on an away mission and orphaned. Worf basically adopted him via some Klingon "Big Brother Program" ritual. The kid was never mentioned again. lol

the people writing the scripts for the show. they can stop all evil in the show, but they choose to create it instead. without them, all evil in the show wouldn't exist. so they are the real evil mastermind behind it all!

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What if God was one of us?

[–] TSG_Asmodeus@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just a slob like one of us.

He would have created a much better world, for starters. All he would need to do was go to the hospital once and see what thousands of people are getting charged for a Tylenol and an overnight stay.

I am convinced that if there is a god, it's mostly evil and it gives zero fucks.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was basically saying the writers are God

Oh. Sorry. I guess it's a song, too.

Perhaps it’s more like the creator race from The Chase. Able to seed life all around the galaxy but they can’t know what becomes of them nor could they influence it really.

For context, I mean these guys:

Pretty sure that's the lens flares.

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I feel like that’s letting JJ off the hook

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (4 children)

We can't have that after what he did to both franchises can we? Maybe we can find out what he drives and hide a large dead fish in his hub cap? It's about to be warmer weather in Hollywood and all!

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I say we get cinematic and go with a horse’s head in his bed

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What a great scene! You have impeccable taste in film!

Trick question. It's polarity.
