/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.

Nice, that image has been optimized for dialup internet. How many pixels are that, fifty? 😐

It had to fit a K7 tape.

you stop noticing lack of pixels with age, but only because everything is blurry.

I bought a vinyl of the soundtrack to 2001 A Space Oddyssey at a antique store.

The clerk told me “oh wow, that’s the year I was born!”

My wife tells the story that my response was the most deadpan “cool” she has ever heard.

I was getting gas 6-7 years ago. The attendant pointed at my Strong Bad decal and got all excited because he used to sit on his dad's lap and watch them on the computer.

😒

This hurts me more than my knees already do.

Being able to live with it is different than being able to watch it again for the first time through your kid.

If they are interested. (Mine doesn't care for sci fi yet)

Wait a few more years to when senility sets in and you can watch it all again for the first time.

If they’re in primary school, start them off on Odd Squad.

It’s a madcap Canadian TVO Kids (TV Ontario) public broadcaster educational math show that was made with partner funding from PBS in the United States, and is now available online in many other countries.

The creators and writers clearly knew and referenced Star Trek.

‘The Trouble with Centigurps’ ’ episode is a straight up Tribble Trouble homage with skip counting.

Here’s a season one Odd Squad trailer.
