/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.

Garak getting flashbacks about Empok Nor:

[–] ininewcrow 15 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Always loved that easy way to identify DS9/Terok Nor and Empok Nor

[–] ummthatguy 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If not for "Dutch angles," how else would you know that you're in a villainous lair?

[–] ininewcrow 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That slight tilt does seem to throw things out of balance ...

[–] ummthatguy 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well played.

Side note: Rodney Dangerfield in Natural Born Killers as the abusive parent/husband still sends chills down my spine.

[–] ininewcrow 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Loved Dangerfield .... in my mind's eye, his character is like a marker in time for me now ... are we dating ourselves?

[–] ummthatguy 7 points 3 days ago

Well, now that you mention it...

FFS, if not for this community, I don't know what I'd do.

[–] FlyingSquid 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Fun fact: there is no "up" in space.

Fun fact 2: Trek writers consistently fail to understand this basic concept.

[–] amorpheus 1 points 3 days ago

That's the joke.

And I think science fiction generally does it that way for the viewers' sake.

It took me almost a full minute to get this...

I feel so dumb now!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Would it have been better to use "hollow sweets" in the title instead? It took me almost a full minute to decide between the two.

[–] TheGrandNagus 10 points 4 days ago

Definitely stick with the title you have IMO

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Naw, no need to change. Though it's fun to think about it now retrospectively!:-)

Like what if you had split the difference and used "Hollowsweets" (all one word) - hehe:-).

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

For me, it's like unlocking a Zelda puzzle. I even have a little fan fare okay in my head when I get it.

oh fuck lol

[–] FlyingSquid 9 points 4 days ago

Looks good! I know the perfect drink to go with it!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm offended if you haven't watched DS-9. Just so you are aware.

[–] ummthatguy 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

We've collectively planted the seed. It'll happen, rest assured.
