/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.

Tribborg, not to be confused with bribble.

Prodigy was so much better than I had hoped! I was worried they would be pushed to make so family friendly it would lose some of those "moral discussion" questions I love Trek for. Nope.

It was absolutely amazing. And season 2 was almost like an additional season of Voyager.

And unlike Discovery, it answered questions Trekkies actually wanted answered- like what a Klingon scientist is like.

And we finally got a peak at the VOY mirror universe equivalents!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I honestly think that, apart from maybe the slightly lackluster first couple of episodes, there is not a bad episode of Prodigy.

In fact, it's too bad those first couple of episodes are what I would call the worst two episodes of the series, because people gave up and missed the rest.

If they'd just stuck around for a few more episodes, they would have gotten to the Kobiyashi Maru episode, which I honestly consider to be one of the best episodes of Star Trek period. The sound editing alone blew me away.

It's phenomenal, but they did struggle to get characters established. The Trek feel doesn't really kick in til near halfway through the season. Hearing Walter Bishop's voice had me locked in no matter what.

It doesn't make a lot of sense for Seven to have a mirror universe equivalent. The only reason she was rescued from the Borg was because Voyager was in the Delta quadrant. I cannot imagine mirror universe Janeway would have done anything other than use the caretaker device to get home.

Mirror seven is probably a drone.

Is that Chewbacca’s testicle?

Begun, the Borg Tribble wars have.

(Please don't hurt me.)

I was half awake when I read that and thought it said "Big Trouble".

Which is still very accurate

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Perhaps this is heresy, but my first thought was a semi organic thermal detonator.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

A dirty bomb, then.

There is only borg. You will be assimilated.

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

wouldn't this basically be the replicators from SG1?

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

If they could use organic matter as raw material...

So, no, it's worse.
