/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

Surely I can’t be the first person to point out that Data is not the “driver” in the sense that he is not at the helm, right? Right???

Data is at Ops - the closest thing the TNG show had to a science station - because he was the Spock-analog.

Basically what I’m saying is that Geordi/Wesley/Ro/unnamed officer (depending on the season/episode) gets to pick the music, not Data!

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

And the reason why he isn't actually at the science station is that Brent Spiner didn't look good in blue.

[–] marlowe221 3 points 3 days ago

That’s right! And they didn’t like the way Picard and Riker looked in gold, hence the move to red for the command division and engineering/security to gold.

And that’s the way it should be! Come at me, TOS fans! 🤣😎

In my car, shotgun is responsible for mapping/route research, communications, and cargo management; in exchange for handling these responsibilities, they get to choose the music.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Driver does however always have the right to veto the music.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Indeed! If one does not like the music, one may withhold service in one's responsibilities, and if that's the driver then we ain't going anywhere; if it's the copilot then the going will be less convenient. Everything's better when we can all agree on music!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Unsure if you’re too generous or if I’m being exploited as shotgun….

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 days ago

Yup, copilot responsibilities.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago

Anybody else spend way too long trying to figure out why there were umlauts over the "n" in the second panel? 🤦🏻

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 days ago (2 children)

We know the rules of the road apply in Picard's Enterpsie because there's a bumper sticker outside the main shuttle bay that says "Dilithium, Felicium, or Latinum; No one one warps for free."

What kind of music does data listen to?

You might be quick to answer "Electronic"

We have been shown he listens to all kinds of music. At the same time.

In this ONE instance, I think it's okay to ignore the rules. Although if data wanted to change the music, can anyone really stop him?

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver 19 points 4 days ago

Data: "Hm. Music, you say?"

0.758 seconds later

Data: "Ok, I've just finished 'Music' "

Driver can delegate music or podcast control, but reserves the right to get control back at any time, copilot is like a DJ who has to take requests.

[–] MikeOToxin 12 points 4 days ago

Wait... Star Trek/Supernatural crossover?!

[–] FlyingSquid 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That was during that weird period of the 24th century where the only two types of human music anyone listened to were classical and jazz.

It didn't last long, thankfully.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

But I love classical and jazz!

[–] FlyingSquid 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Hey, I mostly listen to 30s and 40s jazz, but it was like rock didn't exist on TNG, let alone something like rap or reggae.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

It's a missed opportunity to not see Worf casually listening to rock/metal in his quarters.

I guess they were thinking that classical and jazz seem a little more timeless?

[–] FlyingSquid 12 points 4 days ago

I think it was more likely a licensing issue. Most classical music and many jazz standards are public domain.

I don't know what Abrams' company paid the Beastie Boys for the right to use Sabotage, but I guarantee you it wasn't cheap.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Worf's jam was Klingon opera in DS9

[–] Donebrach 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

yall realize Data wasnt the conn officer right?

[–] chiliedogg 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Even the last season of Picard seemed to forget that Geordi was the pilot in season 1.

There's this whole sideplot with family strife because one of his daughters decided to be like their dad and become an engineer, while the other one rebelled against him and wanted to pilot ships. I thought they'd eventually point out that they're both following in his footsteps, but they never did.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

I'm always surprised any of the NG actors agreed to be on that show.

When sailing, Pilot gives the orders.

When on land, Captain gives the orders.

Whenever I look at Data I see Matt Mercer.

What’s with the weird font?

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I found this one elsewhere, and it looks like it's been pretty distorted =(

(Edit: found a clearer version to replace it!)

I bet Data listens to EDM.

Oh yes electrical discharge machining noises are awesome in a dubstep track
