/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.

Can you explain all the trivia in your image? I recognize a few of them, but not most.

Sure thing. From top right, running clockwise:

  • Ro Laren from TNG was originally slated to join the cast of DS9, but dropped because of scheduling and/or Berman conflicts. Instead, we were gifted Nana Visitor's character of Kira
  • Lucille Ball was on the board of Paramount when other executives tried to axe Trek, but thankfully intervened
  • Mustachioed Shatner is not Jim, but rather, his older brother Sam
  • Nichelle Nichols was contemplating leaving Trek for the stage, when MLK stepped in and convinced her of the importance of her influence should she stay. We are all the better for that save
  • Aragorn with O'Brien head was just a convenient suffering fill-in
  • Geneviève Bujold was the initial choice for Janeway, but for "mixed" reasons (Berman), left and Kate Mulgrew stepped in
  • Patrick Stewart prepped and portrayed a torture victim for the "Chain of Command " 2 parter, including being fully stripped nude
  • Spaced Out is an album featuring the works of Leonard Nimoy and Shatner from the 60's. Beware

I’m going to call all cut progressive content from Star Trek “Berman conflicts” from now on.
