/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Poster boy for petty dramatic Vulcan with an over the top outfit:

His outburst at the end of Take Me Out to the Holosuites shows how illogical and emotional he is so maybe he isn't the whole meme.

[โ€“] [email protected] 50 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Aren't they supposed to be even more emotional than humans by nature, with the logic thing being a result of having a cultural emphasis on repressed emotions and rational thinking? It doesn't seem too absurd for people in those circumstances to use any outlet for emotional expression they can that doesn't come with loss of social status.

[โ€“] [email protected] 33 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Yes, that's exactly right. Their aggressive base natures resulted in both a nuclear holocaust on Vulcan and Romulans going into (probably self-) exile. At some point in there, Surak came along and brought Vulcan into a golden age with the embrace of logic and the purging of emotion.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

(probably self-)

Honestly, with how racist Vulcans are constantly, and all the corruption in the High Command we see in Enterprise, I think it's much more likely the Romulans were forced off of "Vulcan"

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

It's entirely possible. We don't even know when they left though. Did they leave because they rejected Surak and either were forced off or voluntarily left because fuck that noise? Did they leave before that but after the nuclear war or wars? Did they leave even before that?

And if they did leave because they rejected Surak, was it immediate or was it an anti-Surak movement that grew over time?

We just don't have enough information. Especially not considering it was so long ago that Vulcans forgot that the whole event even happened.

[โ€“] [email protected] 21 points 7 months ago (2 children)

The Vulcans should listen to their friend Lloyd Braun.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah because he's going to dump all his negative emotions into you instead and turn you into a crazy old person.

Dang, his Seinfeld and TNG characters meld together well. Someone make a meme for us in [email protected].

Edit: no I got the wrong telepathic negotiator who ties up with Troi. Never mind!

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Good recall. Oh, it's that episode.

Edit: per your correction, it's from s3e8 "The Price"

They are all stunning.

[โ€“] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Serenity? That's a different sci-fi series.

Their planet is extremely hot. It makes sense that they like a garment with a bit of airflow.

[โ€“] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Doesn't account for the beehive and emergency blanket dress.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

Very practical knee window, however.

[โ€“] [email protected] 24 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (3 children)

You know nothing of breathable space-fabric and hairdos!

Also, the 60s were weird.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

What if the 60s was the normal decade?

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)
[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Every seven years, as was tradition.

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

People are going to think the 2020s were weird in half a century when they watch Discovery, SNW, Lower Decks, etc.

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

You and me, baby, ain't nothin' but mammals So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Starship.

Wait until they find out about the memes.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Starship.

Crying and screaming?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Screaming, crying, and whisper-screaming.
