/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.

Love it. Was hoping to see this one. Begat the original "First episode" argument.
The sad part I think about with Jeffrey Hunter was that he was born in 1926 while Shatner was born in 1931 ... Hunter was just five years older than Shatner. So there was no reason why Hunter could have grown old or long enough to see what would have happened to Star Trek and maybe even go back and reprise his role as the original and first Star Trek captain. Apparently in his bio, he was like every other actor at the time and constantly looking for starring roles and parts that could make him famous. He would have become renown in the Star Trek community, events, comic cons and the whole bit for many years after. And even added to his career by being part of Star Trek like what happened to Shatner whether he wanted it or not.
I can't help but think of that possibility when I see Anson Mount playing the role of Christopher Pike.
Maybe Hunter did make it big and become Star Trek famous in an alternate universe.
An unfortunate case of circumstance and tragedy, as there was plenty of room for upward momentum.
Anson Mount wound up being an incredible stand-in for the modern re-imagining in the lead up to TOS. Also a surprisingly close casting for looks. Seems we lucked out that he didn't end up landing Lorca.
