/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.

I mean, like. She's not ugly, and he's kirk, so, like that went without saying. or showing.

Be funny to see a spoof of this where he messes up and tries to hook up with an alien who has Vagina Dentata or something.

there was that one episode with the shape shifting salt fiend.

Hey now, he didn't bang the incredibly beautiful android Andrea (Sherry Jackson), though I'll admit he kissed her twice and got slapped by her.

though I’ll admit he kissed her twice and got slapped by her.

this says more about Andrea than Kirk. Mostly that she has good taste.

It’s too late; I’ve already seen everything.

why would you release this cursed artifact from the bowels of the earth.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

I read a book a while ago called The Annotated Chronicles that included a "boot scene" and the margins included a note from one of the authors about how Kirk inspired the idea. I hadn't seen Star Trek, nor did I know anything about it, so I didn't get the reference until just now. Your meme just resolved a 15-year gap in knowledge for me.

Doesn't Look Like An Alien To Me 👽

You'd be surprised by how many species in Trek are just strait up humans. That's not even accounting for the 18ish Progenitor offspring groups.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We got all sorts of aliens in trek. We got humans with weird ears. Humans with spots. Humans with weird foreheads. Humans with weird big ears. We even have human robots.

Don't forget Humans with perfectly Human features, but aren't human.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I think there were even some humans

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

At least there's an answer as to why via the progenitors.
