/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.

Ahh yes. The episode where Picard shoots a terrorist in the leg with a crossbow, leaves another to die of their own stupidity whilst gloating about it to the Starbase, and then ends on a Mister Ed reference.

Yep, the beginning of P-Stew's late game "Action hero" phase.

Don't forget, he also removed the stabilization unit that resulted in the shuttle explosion taking out the "Hanz Gruber" type main villain.

Oh yeah, I forgot he actively removed it. That's what I was referencing lol. "All I know is... they won't get very far." All this episode was missing was a scene of Picard crawling through a jefferies tube in one of those Voyager-style tank tops.

Horse girls, dude. They're something else.

Thought it looked familiar. Point still stands.

This is a horse girl.

There was a music video promo/demo by some up n coming rapper named DayDay I think.

The only lyrics I can remember where "If your driver needs a rider" something something "I'm my backseat". He looked like a crossover between Geordi LaForge (complete with the visor looking eyewear) and Lady Gaga. The dude was clearly as gay as the day is long because I it was supposed to be a euphemism for anal sex.

The video has long since been scrubbed from the Internet, but it you can find it or know if it please do share it!

EDIT: holy bejeesus I looked for this a couple times over the years and only got old outdated links with "video not found". But thanks to the WayBackMachine...

I've seen that joke a few different ways, mostly in western comedies (or maybe just Lightning Jack...) it was funny as a kid, but now I just don't understand the mechanics of it.

While it would technically be too large, I imagine they could temporarily modify the saddle at one of the larger industrial replicators. Give it a cutout at an appropriate location. Change it back to its original state after.
