/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.

Shinzon, a clone of Picard.

I love the Ardra cameo at lower left. First space scammer they encountered, love that ep.

Surely Vash would have been the better choice... Or perhaps that lady who was a gift between world then the ferengi tried to steal her... And she imprinted on Picard...

...Or maybe the daughter of the fifth house of Betazed and the holder of the sacred chalice of Rixx?

How does 'Make it Gogh' even fit?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Americans tend to pronounce his name like Van Go, not the fancy Dutch way.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Aaaah! Now I get it!

Sorry I'm German, so our pronunciation is closer to the Dutch, so it didn't make sense to me

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Make it low (decibel or height)

Make it dough (money or bread)

Make it disco

Make some pho.

Make it crow.

Make it tow.

Fake Bonobo.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Careful, the mispronunciation police will tag you for your use of pho.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

It was actually Gogh that made me ok with it. We are obviously flying a little loose.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Hate to say it, but "Gogh" is not pronounced "Go." It's more like "hah."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Edit: It was a bit of bait on my part to draw out the pedantic brigade. Remember, I'm also a Whovian.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

that was such a lovely episode!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Man I say that last phrase to myself multiple times a day. I have a bad case of "put something down, lose it forever" thanks to adhd. Where are my keys/phone/shoes? I look for things to make me go.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Americans have no idea how to pronounce van Gogh. Literally none of the phonemes in Gogh are pronounced similar to the phonemes in “go”.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You mainly get "van go," but also the occasional "van goth."

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

At least that last one gets the “o” sound right (but nothing else).

“G” is a velar fricative, “o” is the short o as in “top”, and “gh” is the hardest, raspiest fricative you can muster.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Like the Klingon dish gagh?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

No, not like that. That uses the English g sound.

Vincent van Gogh definitely does not fit in there, unless you butcher his name.

Make it flow should have been an image of Patrick Stewart in Dune

🎶 Let it snow🎶

🎵 Le tits now🎵

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

My mom has some holiday decoration blocks that spell "Let it snow". It has become a tradition of mine to rearrange them into "le tits now" and see how long til she notices. Good times.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Make it grow ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Outside of the innuendo, I suppose the Rascals would work.

What's with the background
