/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.

I am in the process of moving, and found my old collection of Star Trek cards. No idea when I actually got these, it was mid-late 90s, and I have the majority of the 120 cards I know about (as well as some bonus cards)

This is card 001. It comes in English, with 5 (01A-01E) extras in other languages.

They come in various flavors, hilighting important cast, crew, characters, ships, etc.

Troi looks like she got into Blazin' Bev's stash

That star effect or scratch or whatever it is, makes it look like LaForge has a toofpick.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Lol bad star effects.

They're layered on top of some foreground stuff, more streaks go across his chest.

I can't decide who looks the most high in the first photo.

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

I'm going with Wesley.

He looks a little TOO relaxed to be there

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

He found Blazin' Bev's stash.

That first picture is a season 3 promo shot. It’s kind of weird to me how Dr. Crusher is the only one wearing blue.

And I think Troi’s jumper looks like the maroon one from the show. That whole image looks horribly color balanced, and very over saturated, to the point they made it look as red as the uniforms.

Everyone also looks very tired. Like they had them get up at 4 in the morning to do the photo op before shooting.

Yeah, I think it's this one:

Marina Sirtis: “To Berman, with love.”

Fun fact: TNG was the first "all virgin" crew.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Not after The Naked Now.

No translation into Klingon?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Unfortunately not. Missed opportunity!

And my cassette of Power Klingon isn't much help with these particular phrases...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

With Marc himself!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Spanish is fairly poor. Weird of then to say "Espacial Starship Enterprise" when "nave espacial" literally means spaceship.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

All the languages are jank, and modern translation software makes it obvious that whoever did the translation doesn't speak the language.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

That german translation is a bit wrong...

this here is the correct translation:

Der Weltraum (Space).

Unendliche Weiten (The final frontier).

Wir befinden uns in einer fernen Zukunft (???).

Dies sind die Abenteuer des Raumschiffs Enterprise (these are the voyages of the starship enterprise),

das viele Lichtjahre von der Erde entfernt unterwegs ist (its continuing mission),

um fremde Welten zu entdecken (to find strange new worlds),

unbekannte Lebensformen (to seek out new life)

und neue Zivilisationen (and new cilizations).

Die Enterprise dringt dabei in Galaxien vor (to boldly go...),

die nie ein Mensch zuvor gesehen hat. (...where no man has gone before)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Damn the French traduction is not good, and incorrect compared to the show's translated opening.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

traduction

Translation is the proper translation of traduction into english.

(my spanish buddy says the same mistake :) )

Did Deanna ever wear that on the show?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I have a feeling it's just faded over time, or it wasn't colour balanced correctly.

It looks like her purple outfit, design wise, but all the colours in those pictures look blown out.

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

Honestly I can't think of a time she wore a uniform color "tight" outfit. It might just have been for promotional material, or during a special episode because the only times I know she wore uniform colors was after Jellico ordered her into a uniform.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Troi wore a uniform in the pilot, also, in the form of one of those "skant" tube dress things which mercifully got phased out quite quickly. Both that and her standard uniform were the blue/teal med/sci color, not red for command.

I can't find any source for this, so I am just making it up: It would not surprise me at all to learn that Troi was originally supposed to wear red at some point during character development but this was probably changed to offset her visually from the other two red command uniforms she'd be lounging around next to all the time. She did have a cranberry unitard thing at one point, but never a bright red one like this, at least insofar as my limited nerddom allows me to recall.

Methinks this promo shot was doctored significantly anyway (I mean, look at Wesley's face). Some goober probably just grabbed Troi's dress with the old lasso tool and started messing with the channel sliders. Why, though, is anyone's guess. (Worf is rocking his chainmail sash thingy and Riker has his beard, so this has got to be at least post season 2.)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

It’s gotta be season 3. Crusher wasn’t in season 2, it was the year of Doctor Pulaski. The high collared uniforms weren’t introduced until season 3. Wesley was promoted to a full ensign at the end of season 3, so he’d be in a red uniform for season 4, and written out by 5.

Man I am a nerd.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The skants were something else in the first few episodes.

You can see some guys rocking a skants in the background in episode 1

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

They’ve brought them back (forward?) for Strange New Worlds, some male background characters can be seen wearing one. It’s basically the same thing as the uniform style Una and Uhura seem to prefer, just tailored to a male body shape.

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

Am I missing something? Where do you see Wesley?

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

He's in the headline image OP posted. Not on the card backs in the post body, which replace him with Guinan. Depending on your client you might have to expand the main image to see it via clicking on the thumbnail or similar at the top of the post.

But, uh...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Oh yeah, probably a federation issue. But you are correct, that is not a good picture.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I've never seen it before. I think you're right that it was promotional material only, but clearly not all of them. I had a TNG lunchbox when I was in preschool (basically a nerd since birth), and even on that she's wearing the "cheerleader outfit".
