I cried in the theater when Kirk died at the end of Generations. I was 12 years old and sitting next to my dad who, looking back on it, was definitely emotional too.

/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.

I haven't had a chance to watch. Need to prepare myself for it in a safe space, me thinks.
anyone who enjoys trek. do this.
was just interrupted by my kids and spouse 10 times(once in the bathroom) while trying to have a moment with this.
didn't even finish it because I'm disgusted.
I'll watch it later when I'm not so pissed.
Wow ... thanks for this
I basically grew up in a world were Kirk and Spock were a normal part of the background of our lives ... seeing Shatner and Nimoy was just part of growing up.
This really made me feel sad, nostalgic, happy, bitter and overjoyed ... thanks to these people, my life was a bit more fun and happy and it still us through communities like this.
This gave me chills!
(If you aren't someone who usually clicks on videos, you should make an exception for this one)
I love how official this is. Shatner in it, and produced it. Relevant family members also on the production team. Excellent effects, perfect mood and music, not one line of dialogue needed.
This needs to be added to every new release of Generations going forward.
Thank you for sharing it bud!
I don't think that's actually Shatner. It's definitely not actually Nimoy. Or at least the video of their heads are taken from elsewhere and highly manipulated.
It is Shatner. He's credited as Kirk, along with the body double. He definitely has tons of cgi make up on, but it's him.
I think he's credited as Kirk because of the VO.
Edit: I was essentially correct- https://home.otoy.com/unification/
Good find!
Yeah it looks like the body double did the actual acting. There's set pictures with him, and im not seeing any with Shatner.
Still, pretty damn cool imo
That's extremely moving. Thank you for demanding that I watch it. I literally can't stop crying in the kitchen.
Sweet onions don't have the chemicals that cause eyes to tear up. Use those instead of white onions in your omelettes.
Great tip, thank you.
Thanks for being a good sport with my dumb joke
You betcha, friend.
Enjoy the rest of your week!
Aww, thanks Bud. Same to you.
Welcome!
(Also, this video might hit you in the feels)
The dude in the
Apologies if i'm stating the obviousspoiler
early-TNG uniform is Yor, who briefly appeared in Discovery and was established to have travelled between the Prime and Kelvin universes.
Yep! I recognized the bastard the second I saw him and was shocked that they brought him in for this moment. However, from a representation perspective of crossing from one universe into another, it's an extremely beautiful way to do it.
I appreciate it, that was a deep cut for me.
That is unbelievably beautiful! I'm sitting in my chair crying now, thank you very much.
I saw no fucking whatsoever in that video. I am highly disappointed.
But I also greatly enjoyed it, so thank you for sharing.
