/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.

Alexander Siddig, Doctor Julian Bashir is the great-grandson of...

Muhammad Ahmad bin Abdullah bin Fahal (Arabic: محمد أحمد بن عبد الله بن فحل; 12 August 1843 – 21 June 1885) was a Sudanese religious and political leader. In 1881, he claimed to be the Mahdi and led a war against Egyptian rule in Sudan, which culminated in a remarkable victory over them in the Siege of Khartoum. He created a vast Islamic state extending from the Red Sea to Central Africa and founded a movement that remained influential in Sudan a century later.

"My great-great-grandfather fought in World War I."

"Cool, mine was a messianic figure who freaked out the British so much that they destroyed his tomb and threw his bones into the Nile."

Double whammy for this thread.

Can you explain all the trivia in your image? I recognize a few of them, but not most.

A dozen or so, but didn't want to overload.

Roddenberry wrote lyrics for the TOS theme song so he could claim half of the song's royalties and less money would be paid to the composer Alexander Courage.

The lyrics themselves are awful. Just a straight up dick move.

ITT: people who think the viggo story is esoteric and those who do not. Both are responding accordingly. Fascinating

On the factual side, Pike and the original pilot sounds about right. For the meme-adjacent, it's unsurprisingly Jeffrey Combs. As it should be.
