/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.

It wasn't my favorite, but it certainly wasn't bad. When there's trouble you call DW.

Ducktales could be top tier for me as well

Also rather fond of: "When you need help, just call Chi Chi Chi Chip and Dale!"

Gadget was one of my first crushes

Totally responsible for a lot of our generation's furries. Alongside Minerva Mink and Lola Bunny.

This thread is my people haha

I played a fair amount of the NES game as well as the Duck Tales game. I probably played more hours of the games than I saw of the shows.

My brain still occasionally goes "C-H-eese spells cheese!" for no good reason.

ngl, I have a ducktails NES midi track for my phone alarm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrbnT3_5BoQ

Old school Darkwing Duck fans really owe it to themselves to check out the most recent Duck Tales animated series. It is very much made with the folks who grew up with the 1990s Disney Afternoon in mind, with many out-of-canon cameos that will make you smile and an outstanding voice cast (lead by David Tennant as Scrooge McDuck).

It's also very clear that the creators were begging to make a Darkwing Duck reboot all along, but Disney wouldn't let them, so they just crammed him into the show anyway.

[–] aaaa 16 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Pretty sure Darkwing Duck was part of the Disney Afternoon, and showed after school on weekdays

[–] negativenull 3 points 7 months ago

Damn, you might be right.

I can't tell if that outfit is blue and black, or white and gold

Me back in 1990 every Sunday at 4:30 AM:

"Wings of silver, nerves of steel… (Silverhawks!) Partly metal, partly real… (Silverhawks!) Soaring through the highway of the heavens in their flight, SilverHawks, a rainbow in the night!"

Together with ThunderCats and BraveStarr. And Exosquad. And Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors. And Attack of the Killer Tomatoes...

I preferred the Nickelodeon lineup myself. Rugrats, Doug, Rocko's Modern Life, Ren & Stimpy, Angry Beavers, and Pete & Pete.

Then on Sunday morning it was two hours of MST3K on The Sci Fi Channel

[–] negativenull 10 points 7 months ago

My parents were too cheap/poor for cable, so I missed out on Nickelodeon, unless I was sleeping over at a friends house.

[–] ummthatguy 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

And then MST3K moved to Comedy Central for whatever reason.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod 4 points 7 months ago

It was apparently on HBO at one point, too.

Now I just stream it 24/7 on YouTube

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Wasn't this the Sunday lineup?

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod 3 points 7 months ago

It probably is, and MST3K was probably on Saturday. The important part is that I was watching TV and not reading or playing outside.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

**I feel bad for Zoomers. They never even had Saturday morning cartoons. They barely have any good cartoons geared toward children.

It's actually a bit ironic that some law preventing cartoons being made exclusively to sell merch, like Transformers or TMNT, just stopped good cartoons from being made. We would have still watched these even if they didn't sell any toys cuz they kicked ass all by themselves.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

More of a Duck Dogers Dude personally, but I admit the importance of Darkwing Duck and Ducktales as a whole.

Needs more undivided attention

But Wil Wheaton has been born in 1972, so basically is prototypical GenX per definition.

This should rather be a photo of e.g. Cirroc Lofton, aka Jake Sisko...

This is not the meinhof baader phenomena... I was just showing a coworker some darkwing duck stuff yesterday...
