/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.

Fucking dead laughing.
Disco: what if mushrooms had feelings? (I would have went with tardigrades, but that didn't last long enough). This might be better as what if feelings had feelings.
SNW: what if hair had feelings?
I was going to say "What if gays had feelings" for DSC considering they finally put in some fuckin' representation for us. SNW is still the same. Picard and Prodigy could both be arguably called "What if nostalgia had feelings?"
Lower decks: what if the viewers had feelings?
"What if a Badge had feelings" being the subtitle
What if bones had feelings Ɛ(́◔ ω ◔)3
Moopsie!
SNW: what if hair had feelings?
The show has forever been altered in my mind.
Don't forget ENT asking ”What if human and vulcan had horny feelings for each other“
Ah, but TOS did it first.
You Spock/McCoy fanfic doesn't count.
spoiler
It came after ENT.
You seem to be underestimating my age.
Anyway, Spock/McCoy makes no sense to me. It’s Kirk/Spock that’s canon.
Disco: What if everyone had feelings ALL THE TIME
What if the ship had feelings once or twice where plot critical?
Every Star Trek needs their non-human learning to human.
(This is way funnier when you realize that this image is from the show Being Human, proper UK version)
I am so glad I watched ENT in streaming format. I only suffered through the song two or three times, so it isn't burned in.
Suffer? It’s a fucking masterpiece.
Please tell me you didn’t miss the Mirror Universe intros?
The intro to the first two seasons was amazing. But the upbeat change for seasons three & four took the theme from the best ST opening theme to the worst.
Heh. Well I might go back for it but I skipped the intro every time after the first, except when I was making popcorn or something, then I only had to listen until I finished diving for the mouse.
Oh the Mirror Universe ones were great, they shift the tone from showing us leaving earth and exploring space to wars and conquering space. Was a great little touch of detail to set the episodes apart.
Oh, good gravy, I feel like I did watch that intro when I saw that it was different. I watched that series quite a few years ago and I have a terrible memory. It might be time to delve into that chronological Trek marathon I have been threatening myself with ever since my co-workier did one a couple years ago.
Honestly, the more that I think about it the more like the intro. It's almost like a warning that you are about to watch America in Space - Bush Apologist Edition instead of Star Trek.
That description seems way more accurate to Stargate SG-1 than Enterprise
Post 9/11 Star Trek Enterprises was by far the most war crime apologist of the major sci fi shows. Stargate, despite being far less idealistic by nature, shows things like torture as something that bad guys do, in Farscape John Crichton is horrified by what the US is becoming.
Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Enterprise painted those actions as pretty horrific nine times out of ten, and the tenth is even murky. Stargate shows a bunch of Americans literally walking through portals to places they've never seen to unilaterally declare people the bad guys, interfere violently and get a shitload of people killed in the process all to push their own ideals and misunderstandings of the universe/democracy onto everyone else. Despite the fact that the United States is a shitshow. They learn almost nothing from their examples except for what they fuckin' steal.
So when it comes to calling it 'America in Space'... Enterprise doesn't even fall on the list for me.
Also ENT: What if decon gel had feelings.
VOY is a weird way to spell Red Dwarf.
Feelings all over the corridor, inside the warp core, dripping from Worf's bat'leth. That's the real reason Wesley Crusher had to leave the enterprise.
I've been watching Enterprise now for the past few months. I take a walk on my treadmill just about every day for 45 minutes and every time I watch another episode of Enterprise.
Season 1 and 2 intro songs were interesting but when they changed the tempo and beat in season 3, now I literally dance for the first minute of my walk as I swagger and move on my treadmill to start my walk.
My greatest fears now is that when I die ... one of the last things I'll hear as my memories disappear is ..... "It's been a long road ..."
PRO: What if temporal paradoxes had feelings?
"IiiiiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIiiiiiiIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIiIIII'm hooked on a feelin' I'm high on believin' That you're in love with me."
is the only song stuck in my head now.
ha ha I'm immune to your spells, I stopped watching 20 years ago
