/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

I choose to believe this now. It's canon

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wait, so who was he in TNG? He must have been there, but it's just not coming to me.

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I don't think he was in TNG

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

You sure about that?

Not mine.

Edit: He did, however, audition for Riker and lost to Frakes.

I'm... I'm just not sure how I feel about that one, kinda makes my brain itchy... And, oh wow! Love Combs but trek would not have been the same. Who else would then go to play all those amazing characters? And, would we still have the Riker maneuver?

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

The series maybe wouldn't have grown a beard

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

That's amazing!

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

That a great bit of trivia there

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

This is like Worf and his 2nd place trophy.

This somehow feels wrong, but all the evidence proves otherwise. :(

edit: Man, he was 4 different characters in DS9, even I missed some.

edit2: Nope, IMDB says no Combs in TNG, what a Conundrum.

He's the original changeling

Is that X-Files? The one with the guy eating livers?

Yeah, the description of Jeffries crawling out of an air vent made me think of it. Tooms.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Just to escape the fun for a second, they were actually named after Matt Jeffries, the man who designed the original TOS enterprise and a lot of the look of the show.

Also, any piece of TOS tech they didn't have a name for was called a Feinberger, after TOS property master Irving Feinberg.

I didn't believe it until I read the last sentence

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 1 week ago

So you're saying you saw him vent?

Sus.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

This is my new head canon.

[–] noxy@yiffit.net 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I miss Weyoun way more than I thought I would since my latest DS9 binge. Such a compelling character, portrayed outstandingly well

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I love him and the poison.
