/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.

yea but
Watching TNG as a kid
Realizing, now, you're only 5 years younger than Patrick Stewart was when he started filming TNG (47)
Which is even more mind-blowing when you consider that a lot for these long-awaited sequels...the protagonist in the sequel is as old, if not older than, their mentor in the original.
I could be mis-remembering on some of these, but...
Creed: Stallone was older in this movie mentoring Apollo Creed's son, than Mickey was in the original Rocky
TopGun Maverick: Tom Cruise is >= Tom Skerritt (Viper) in Top Gun
Cobra Kai: Ralph Macchio >= Pat Morita in Karate Kid
SWTLJ: Mark Hamill >= Alex Guinness
yea, we're old. but we haven't done a little big horn like custer did when he was 36
there's always someone better, but there's also always someone worse
Another Kirk POV: Watching a Beastie Boys song destroy a fleet of alien vessels... Realizing you were playing the same song when you drove your big brother's Corvette off a cliff as a kid.
I was watching DS9 last night and they said "Chief O'Brien can't be a day over 38"
-_-
That’s all Mark Twain’s fault.
Headstrong is what broke me
...first time i heard ozzy playing in a grocery store twenty-five years ago, i knew my age had passed into history...
Me: just trying to get some laughs on Lemmy.
You: old peeps want to catch some strays.
I have been listening to the Beastie Boys since 1986. How is that already almost years? Paul's Boutique is probably my favorite album of all time.
Bro, I thought I was old. Thanks for humbling me.
I got more rhymes than I got gray hair And that's a lot because I got my share
I knew I was old when I heard Sell Out by RBF in the grocery store.
That hurts my heart... aside from other heart health related issues.
Adam Yauch died 13 years ago.
Over 50 years of tunes floating around in my noggin.
What are the pics from? They look familiar but I can't place it
That's a young James T. Kirk in the opening of Star Trek (2009), the J.J. Abrams reboot film.
Surely that wasn't 16 years ago.
Surely.
Gracias!
Kelvin Timeline Star Trek from '09. I usually put that info in the body notes.
Oh thanks! I'm using Lemmy from a mobile app, so I'm not sure how to see extra info like that
