/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. 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.

Apparently, it's been a year since the "Great Migration" and my intrepid decision to give the Lemmy fediverse a go. Since dabbing my toes into what has since become a creative outlet and hobby for me, I've found a fair few friends and like-minded enthusiasts for our favored franchise. Thank you all for still putting up with and encouraging my silly nonsense! May we all carry on until we greet the Koala (or get crammed into the pattern buffer), having OD'd on Ketracel-white next to Rom and an over-caffeinated Janeway!

Eulogy comprised of a rousing "Faith of the Heart" rendition by Kevin Riley.

🎢...Don't come around here no more...🎢

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

This was the first thing I thought of when I saw that episode.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Very happy you're here! You're one of the people that make this sub so much fun.

[–] VubDapple@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Seconding this. Love the star Trek memes. Even got my son into it.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cheers!

TOS Romulan Ale toast

Its been a pretty good year.

You say "Intrepid Decision", I say "The Coffee Machine Was Broken And It Was Dark And Clown Guy from That Voyager Ep Was Launching An IPO"....

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I do not miss that clown's antics. Either one.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I haven't watch that episode in ages. I know he was supposed to be Fear but at no point was I able to suspend my disbelief. My brain settled firmly on, "oh hey look it's Michael McKean."

[–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks for that anxiety fuel, wtf is that thing on the left with the giant teeth?! Justin Trudeau lookin mofo over there MERCI NON

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That would be The Spectre

Played by Carel Struycken

I didn't recognize him without the luggage.

[–] TotallyNotSpez@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

One year on Lemmy for me as well. Thank you for all the memes. :)

Tranya ferments so well in the crawlspace behind McCoy's office. Consistent temperature plus patience and it's happy cake oven time.

I can't not think about Clint Howard saying that word when I hear it:

Okay I'm totally going to need some Sealab and Star Trek crossover memes now.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It'll have to be TAS, naturally. I'll make a note of it.

[–] Aviandelight@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Hell yeah πŸ˜†

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 year ago

I definitely did not have Cheerleader Hesh on my internet bingo card for today.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

For medicinal purposes, of course.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Data's dreams aside, no motherfucker better ever give me cake with mint frosting. Giving me toothpaste cake is a good way to end our friendship for life.

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

It can be done well. One year, my son was into mint chocolate chip ice cream, peppermint patties etc and wanted a mint cake for his birthday.

It took a while adding mint drop by drop and taste testing but it eventually worked. It tasted like a giant green mint girl scout cookie. ( That was the basis of the recipe I worked from.)

[–] kaitco@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s been about a year for me, too. I never engaged in the Trek community β€œover there”, but y’all are a fun set of folks here. Cheers!

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

SlΓ inte!

[–] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks for sticking around. I for sure appreciate the crazy amount of quality contributions not only to here, but Lemmy as a whole. Here's to more years!

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Cheers to that!

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 year ago

My contributing mostly happens in the anime community on Lemmy, but I'm so thankful to you guys.

Whenever I need some variety I come find a corner in tenforward to sit down and browse, and instantly my trekkie heart feels right at home.

[–] NoiseColor@startrek.website 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Than it's been a year for me to! I'm not the kind to make friends but for sure I would never stay if there weren't for the whole star trek community!

I love the memes, I love to read the conversations. Every day they light my face with a smile if only for a moment!

This is really great!!

Back atcha from a much less prevalent (on lemmy) sci-fi fandom.

ContextContext for the image requires spoilers from The Witch From Mercury, the latest entry in the long-running Gundam franchise.

Also, nested spoilers work. Neat.

spoiler Actual spoiler The prologue ends with a 4-year old joyfully singing along to happy birthday with her father, while said father sacrifices himself to allow his wife and child to escape the politico-corporate slaughter of a research lab. This is reprised later in the show when a 17-year old sings happy birthday to a friend over the PA, not knowing that the friend was getting incinerated elsewhere because his usefulness as a clone pilot had ended. :::

ProselytizingAny Trekkie who isn't all-in on the ANIME BAD bandwagon, I implore you to give Gundam a try. There are a variety of starting points (as with Trek) and I'll be more than happy to field any questions.

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I love Gundam, but not for the right reasons.

Terrible reasonLumberjack Gundam Canada's fight against Desperado Gundam Mecixo.

I know everything about it is wrong, but it's both awesome and hilarious. I'm so sorry.

[–] MisterMoo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Happy cellular peptide cake day!

[–] Jerkface@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I, uh... ahem. I'll have a piece of that, please.
