/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.

I never skip an opening theme. It's good nostalgia seeds, planted for later

[–] Zoot@reddthat.com 8 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Ds9 has a 2 minute intro... Binge watching it makes it hard to not skip it every single time

[–] limelight79@lemm.ee 8 points 4 months ago

Just circle around like we're impressed with the pylons.

...

Keep circling...

Take the time to savour every moment - I promise It's worth it

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago

Easily my last favorite ST intro. No idea why, I just hate watching it.

A fine notion, but there's hundreds of hours worth of Trek to explore.

Edit: Instead, I'll listen to a playlist of all the themes while driving.

You're saying we need a Trek medical drama? I'm oddly ok with it.

[–] JWBananas@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Here, run this over your face for three minutes.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 4 months ago

Oh yes. I can see him as the hard-line / hard-logic XO of a Vulcan ship, akin to the "wej Duj" episode of LD.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Go the other way.

I'd love to see his version of Harry Mudd.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Make him pull a reverse Cranston into comedic roles, I like it.

Underappreciated classic from his early days.

I can see him equally well in both roles, nice idea! I’d hope for a recurring/main cast Vulcan, personally.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

he'd make a great andorian. or bolian. something blue.

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The theme gets good in line season two, then they ruin it beyond redemption in season 4.

[–] Jesus_666@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They should've kept making versions in different genres. A cappella. Ragtime. Polka. Death metal. Boy band-era pop with the bridge crew inexplicably doing a tightly choreographed dance routine.

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago

I’m all for the theremin version!

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

If we're talking about the theme song, I like it for what it is (minus seasons 3-4; excepting the "Mirror Darkly" diversion). If it's the casting choice, he could totally play a snarky Vulcan badmiral.

[–] unlawfulbooger@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 months ago

I was just talking about the theme song. Giancarlo Esposito should definitely be in Trek
