/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.

Trick question. It's polarity.

Pretty sure that's the lens flares.

I feel like that’s letting JJ off the hook

We can't have that after what he did to both franchises can we? Maybe we can find out what he drives and hide a large dead fish in his hub cap? It's about to be warmer weather in Hollywood and all!

What if everything in the Star Trek universe was just one grand holodeck simulation and everything we've seen them go through in all the shows, all the movies, all the animations and all the books were just a runaway holodeck program that some junior officer made.

And it turns out the actual Star Trek universe is a lonely empty experience as their ships go wandering around nearby star systems and haven't met any other species yet. It's just a boring repetitive experience that leaves everyone feeling a deep sense of Galactic loneliness as it will take them many centuries of exploration before they eventually meet another species .... and also a species that is not humanoid or familiar to us at all.

Ah, so “realistic” space travel, where 100 years later, they’re still on their way to the first Star system and the most critical technology is how to pass the time

I needed more existential dread so thanks for this. <3

Q isn't a villain.

The worst villain is most certainly Paramount and the writers on the new shows.

What is “this motherfucker”?

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's the barrel that paralyzed Worf

Also confused. Star Trek branded 55gal drum of lube?

Edit: for posterity, the blue barrel reminded me of an older meme around an Amazon listing for a 55gal drum of lube that was also just a generic blue barrel

Objection: Q is a hero, not a villain.

the people writing the scripts for the show. they can stop all evil in the show, but they choose to create it instead. without them, all evil in the show wouldn't exist. so they are the real evil mastermind behind it all!

Depending on our definition of best, I'm going to vote Worf's parenting, clearly the most devastating.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Once again, poor Jeremy Aster was forgotten about. lol Alexander isn't the only kid Worf abandoned.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jeremy who?

(This is both a joke and a genuine question)

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

He was a kid on the Enterprise whose lieutenant mom was killed on an away mission and orphaned. Worf basically adopted him via some Klingon "Big Brother Program" ritual. The kid was never mentioned again. lol

Berman is the worst lol

Why doesn't species 8472 get villain love?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't call them a villain, personally. They were a species trying to slap the Borg back home and became aware of our space. They saw us working with the Borg and started to prep for an invasion of Earth. But after diplomatic relations with Starfleet they realize that Earth may pose some threat but had ZERO interest in starting a war with any species, much less a species they'd never even heard of before.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (19 children)

Borg for me.

I wonder if there's any psychology behind responses to this question... While I genuinely love the idea of becoming a cyborg, the thought of becoming part of a collective that thinks as one is kinda horrifying to me as someone who works in a creative field.

Berman. He cut a swath of sadness through many series.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

That one guy's head that Riker exploded.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Not the Vidiians? Those people harvesters were terrible. They didn't care who they violated.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I feel like Darth Maul should be on the list, just to demonstrate the level of anger inspired by people mixing the two series.
