/c/TenForward: 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. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

Because the actors would need to film the scene in the transporter room on Tuesday and the scene on the surface on Thursday, for shots that would be played instantly back to back on the show, so they had to strike a pose they could accurately repeat.

Plus the design of the transporter pad looks like it has a strict cylindrical volume, so it looked like they were trying to fit inside that so as not to leave behind a forearm, but they transport objects of all kinds of sizes so IDK.

Well damn at least Frakes and Dorn should've learned to repeat a pose that looked like they're being dropped into an unfamiliar environment, and not like they're at a pharmacy checkout. Even Troi's stance is a bit better in that shot.
