/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.

Ah, it's from The Naked Time. I would have guessed Turnabout Intruder with a line that bad. Haven't seen much TOS in a while.
Both TOS Naked Time and TNG Naked Now came at an odd time in the series. Early first season, the characters normal behaviors weren’t established yet, and we’re supposed to just know that they just don’t have a weekly orgy in the far future.
That's funny because, at least according to a lecture Gene Roddenberry gave that I had on LP, that he originally wanted the ship's crew to be half men and half women, but the executives made him change that because, "people will think that something's going on up there!"
Much more normal to have an all-male crew. Because rest assured, absolutely nothing would be "going on." Nope. Nothing. And definitely not snoodling.
Starfleet is based on the navy and we all know what sailors get up to.
It's not just the navy. Was over a friend's house and a friend of a friend stopped by already drunk. Was barely 10 minutes before he's complaining about gays in his army unit. "You can't have fuckin f**s around. If the boys are playing grabass the fuckin f**s are just gonna enjoy it. Fuck that shit!" Etc etc. Thankfully he moved to the kitchen to drink more.
I've never heard so many unironic "America, fuck yeah!"s in my life, before or since.
Like gender imbalance ever got in the way of a sex party in the sixties.
“Bone’s… the… only… cure.”
It can always get ~~worse~~ better.
