/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.

James Doohan was missing the tip of one/some fingers on one hand, so he always stood off centre from camera so he could hide his hand behind his body.

Did a fair job disguising, but really just should have run with it.

You also get a good look at it when he’s pulling the bloody uniforms from the vent in the dining hall in The Undiscovered Country.

Saavik. First played by a relatively unknown Kirstie Alley in ST2. Paramount neglected to include a sequel clause in the contract and her agent wanted too much while Paramount low-balled the offer. So they cast Robin Curtis in the role for ST3, and without much to do they left her behind on Vulcan in ST4 while the TOS crew went back to earth (a deleted scene said she was pregnant with Spock's baby when she helped with his pon farr in the previous movie). Saavik would never be conanically seen again, but Robin Curtis would appear in the 2-part TNG episode Gambit. Saavik was considered to be the traitor Vulcan in ST6 but they could never write it in a convincing way, so they rewrote it to a new character Valeris.

There's long been speculation about some behind the scenes drama to throw in a wrench.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

That doesbt seem like drama as much as someone with a sense of humor.

Looks like shes just acting "scandalous" during a "professional" group shot. Dude is tossing bunny ears on Shatner at the same time. Koenig is doing kissy face off to the left too.

[–] ummthatguy 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Also totally plausible. That the shot exists is what brought up some small rumors/mild speculation.

She is known for her humor. Does a bang up job on Cheers and then follows it up by joining the wackiest religion ever?

Lady knows how to commit to a bit.

What you did there. I see it.

This one is pretty well known: Ashley Judd's first on-screen kiss was with Wil Wheaton in the TNG episode "The Game." Ensign Lefler was also briefly in "Darmok."

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

The two of them dated for a while as well.

Can you explain all the trivia in your image? I recognize a few of them, but not most.
