/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.

She was also Dexter's first victim now that I think about it.

Which is funny because during my formative years, those desktop avatars were either the purple gorilla or dancing nude women

Can't remember if it was before or after but I liked her in pet cemetery

[–] FlyingSquid 3 points 2 days ago

Pet Sematary was after she left Star Trek.

As a teenager at the time, I liked her a lot more in The Red Shoe Diaries.

Looking back, quite the step down.

Was that the name of her next show? I never even heard of it. Unfortunately Denise Crosby joined the ranks of McLean Stevenson (Henry Blake on MAS*H) and other actors who quit popular shows they thought were holding back their careers so they could move on to not having one.

Bringing her back as a Romulan in the Yesterday's Enterprise arc was pretty awesome tho.

[–] FlyingSquid 3 points 2 days ago

She was on it a few years later, but considering it was basically soft porn, it's not exactly stuff I think she wants to be remembered for.

Rosalind Chao (Keiko) was the lead to get the role of Tasha Yar before the auditions. Denise Crosby auditioned for Troi.

I'd love a TV show that was made up of sketches of actors playing the roles they didn't get.

Lol, maybe like a Star Trek equivalent to Marvel's What If...?.

It's so sad that, technically, she was ahead of her time. We want to see a thoughtful future world, but the writers were failing her as to writing her as a real character in that world who experienced growth. Worst loss of the first season, in my opinion, because it showed how even people trying to be on the cutting edge of acceptance and inclusion can still fall short.

Which is why I turn my nose up at anyone who calls themselves "an ally" of any struggle. Sorry buddy, it's up to those struggling to name you as an ally, that's not a label you get to self-apply. Never call yourself an ally, and maybe someday your actions will show you really are an ally. (Much like the whole "Any man who must say, 'I am the King', is no true king." quote)

Any grown man with a shirt or car decal that says alpha, is not an alpha.

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

Especially since that whole alpha/beta nonsense was literally debunked by the same guy who originally created the theory.

So gross that it continues to persist.

Some people love hierarchies, no matter how fake or untenable they are.

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

So you're saying they should get car decals that say cuck, to show that they aren't?

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt 9 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Loses their shit over pronouns and anything related to trans movements...

...has truck nuts

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

Celebrates the trans am, not the am trans?

Any grown man with a shirt ~~or car decal that says alpha,~~ is not an alpha.

(I'm trying to encourage idiots to run around shirtless in the polar vortex like it's a Packers game.)
