I'm kinda done with the meme. It's gone on longer than the B-word.

/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.

MODERATORS
You mean we could have bean stuck in different meme loops a dozen times?
I think it's just one loop after another. And they always go on too long. The Blazin' Bev meme was only murdered by the time loop meme.
Just IMHO. If I were more clever, I think I could break each cycle with a new meme; I'm beginning to think it's the only way.
the B-word
Bat'leth?
I'm not saying it lest it return, but it was Lemmy-wide.
Ooooooh....
Bean'leth
That gives me an idea. Not the bat'leth thing, but the other part.
It was superseded by jeans... riding on Taylor Swift's jet. Uh oh, I just gave away your idea to everyone, didn't I? 💡🤪

If it passes I’m okay, it’s been a good run with a lot of OC
If people want to keep adding to it, that’s okay too, but we’ve dredged through much of the low hanging fruit and are at risk of blarogs.
This is kinda how memery (in the traditional sense) works. Repeat, iterate, modify. Not every idea is born a superstar. The process generates a lot of meh, but the occasional breakthrough makes it all worth it. And this run had a LOT of great adaptations/crossovers.
Not the crux of the video, but this piece by CGP Grey does a good job of summarizing the process.
Oooh, snap. That's a keeper.
Barclay?
Nah Reg is a genius and honorary member of Voyager’s crew
Per Starfleet regulation 80085FUQ-CRSHR-023, an interactive, slappable version of Ensign Crusher is to be placed in every public starship venue:
Your post is now in compliance with Starfleet regulations. Thank you and have a nice day.
I’m not one to question Starfleet regs, but he did get substantially cooler in Prodigy. I think it’s just Ensign Crusher who’s annoying
He was annoying in Picard and Eureka.
Fair point, he would have probably been an ‘accidental’ death on the way to Titan after one too many smarmy remarks to Holly
Forgot about Eureka. Well, that's on the rewatch list.
Don’t forget Warehouse 13, wish they would have crossed over more
I like to pretend that the evil Will Crusher exists, like the facial hair and everything, in Dark Matter
IDFK I'll fight about this
Evil Wesley Crusher would have to have a beard and... oh, oh no no no...
I don't mind the memes, content is content after all. However, this one got me laughing
😁
