/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

No, next month is...

Edit:

And since you asked, after that comes...

We ignore the months June through August. We just say:

Just like with Thanksgiving, best not to talk politics, but there will be some good food (spicy hasperat)

That's a type of transporter accident we haven't seen before.

SNW made it canon that they can beam genes into Spock's eyes, so beaming the skeleton out of someone must be possible.

What bothers me the most about that episode is that, for all of Tuvix’s plighting at everyone, not a single spoiled aboard that ship took his side.

I mean, really? Are we supposed to believe that no one thought he should live? Or that Janeway ran some kind of terror ship that nobody dared voice a contrarian opinion?

Ah, I see you've watched Voyager before.

[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

The Doctor was massively against it.

Janeway was very "shut up ya dumb hologram! I'm indifferent about whether you should even have any rights at all, so don't push it or you're next" about it

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

It was more a Hippocratic oath thing than actual empathy, if my memory serves. Or at least I took that way. At any rate, an episode written to be divisive and with no clear answer, and only the program coded to “do no harm” is against terminating the patient? I doubt that very much.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I have never been able to solve this one for my own self. No idea what I would do Janeway’s shoes, and I’ve pondered it a fair amount.

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

It could go either way. I wouldn’t be able to terminate a creature pleading for their life. But it bothers me that the whole crew was one-sided.

NGL, there are some TNG episodes that are terrifying. I can never watch Night Terrors again. And let's not forget the woman whose horrific scream we heard off-screen, then find her materialized inside the freaking floor!

Or that ghost in a candle…

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Less "terrifying" and more "erotic".

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh Wesley! Yes, I was being haunted again! I got so terrified my panties dropped to the floor! Now go play with your friends while I recover from the fright.

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

All that goo everywhere? Ectoplasm...

[–] icerunner_origin@startrek.website 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh I'd love some non-canon, Treehouse of Horror-style Trek shorts.

First episode, a fearful fate for Worf as Alexander comes to visit! 😱

[–] Niksolo80@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Before you are two doors. One leads to your son Alexander. The other to a room of barrels.

Fucking B’Elanna and her experimental skeletal transporter lock. SMDH
