/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.

This time it's the original series - season 2, episode 3.

At the time this aired, “every episode of Star Trek” meant TOS, TAS, five movies, and maybe the first few episodes of TNG.

(Also, the captions are a little off. The kid said, “We’ve seen”.)

So, this dapper looking fellow?

Edit: or his purple friend?

If my boyfriend was wearing something that outrageous when I got home, I'd be delighted.

Which one? "The walking Jamaican tapestry" or "I whip my hair back and forth"?

TIL that was Patton Oswalt!

Kinda wish he'd thrown in a Trek tie-in to that Marvel/Star Wars filibuster from Parks and Rec. Also, his short run as stop-motion M.O.D.O.K was fun, albeit fuckin' weird.

He was certainly a better MODOK than the MODOK from Ant-Man.

Why pick just one?

Now the epic one is Gargoyles, where many Trek actors are in it (including Mulgrew, Spiner, Dorn, and Brooks).

Two of the main villains are played by (and they work together sometimes), weirdly enough, Frakes and Sirtis.

There’s an episode where Frakes’ character is out of jail and threatens revenge upon the main characters, and one responds, “With you and what Starfleet?”

I don't understand how seeing Star Trek would make them unafraid of Shredder. I am only unafraid of Shredder because I've seen TMNT and know he's a bit incompetent. 🤷🏻‍♂️

A touch short-sighted.

"Shredder, if you bring this place down, you'll kill all of us!"

The funny part is how him taking the mutagen also beefed up his armor and blades.
