/c/TenFoward: 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.

Farscape is like Mormonism


gotta watch Trek first to catch the references!

[–] Canopyflyer@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (3 children)

You have to watch a LOT more than that!

Some other references:

2001 A Space Odyssey

Looney Tunes (An entire episode was dedicated to the Coyote and Road Runner). That show had numerous other references too, including an appearance of the Enterprise itself.

Dr Strangelove or How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Bomb. (Dear John and Hi There for instance)

Dark Crystal

Dracula

Star Wars

There are many many more. The entire show was one big reference to something else.

One of the more esoteric Star Trek references was the aliens urinating. In Star Trek, no one pees. The only time any time of shower/rest room is shown in the entire franchise is in ST:TMP when the Ilia drone appears on the Enterprise. There might be a scene in ST:TOS where Kirk comes out of a door with wet hair and a towel around his shoulders, but that's it.

About the only franchise/movie that I cannot think of a reference in Farscape is Stargate.

In Star Trek, no one pees.

No longer the case, because of DISCO, which also confirmed the dual dick Klingon theory.

[–] Canopyflyer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

LOL... I don't think I've seen that scene...aaaannnd not sure I want to.

Thank you for the update though.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That's because Stargate made references to Farscape, not the other way around.

[–] Canopyflyer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You mean when it becamse "Fargate" or "Starscape"?

I really liked Ben Browder and Claudia Black in Stargate, however it was really jarring and took a while to get used to.

Archer takes a shower on Enterprise. I think it was a Delphic Expanse episode. There was also that whole decon thing.

Jankom Pog mentions putting a sonic toilet out of commission. They don't show it, but they do give us the flushing sound as he exits.

Voyager has a detailed sonic shower scene with B’Elanna Torres.

Then there is Lower Decks...
