/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.

You can't tell her hat from her hair. I just saw this ep for the first time and that is some masterful acting. She elevated everyone else on the goofy pastel set. She brought tension to every shot. BADASS LADY SCIENCE POPE.

To be fair, it's kind of rare for a black guy to be able to even have a bowl cut.

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

I want to see what he looks like with the front long enough to touch his eyebrows.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 55 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They adopted that haircut because they thought it would help them better interact with humans. They intercepted a lot of television broadcasts and decided this was humanity's greatest champion.

You posted the wrong picture of Moe. Here is the correct one:

"There is a comic actor known as a Stooge with that name. The boy believes we have similar hair."

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Stuart?? His father left us on Tuesday

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

This is one of the many reasons why the Vulcans were so interested in us ..... because of representatives like this ...

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They had a few early television and radio broadcast characters that had similar features

She read that book on human sexuality and logically she would choose a more human hairstyle since Spock is half human.

That or she didn't want to be a basic bitch.

[–] verity_kindle@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Original series T'pring's attitude could make any hairdo look good. You gotta believe in yourself as a triflin', intriguin', spicy murder senorita before you can pull it off.

Man, Susie Plakson was a stone-cold hottie.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She made a good Klingon, too.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Ah, can't believe I forgot that one!

[–] menemen@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Shouldn't they simply all have a buzz cut? Easy to maintain, easy to keep clean even in difficult circumstances, never gets in the way. Just the most logical haircut.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 28 points 1 year ago

Scalp sunburns are no joke on Vulcan.

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

Low gravity friendly, too!

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

There's a theory that head hair grows longer because of people. Essentially longer head hair was sexy to cromags.

On Vulcan that would've been a different. The Vulcan cromag really liked the look of circumcised penis.

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

Is it not logical to adapt to Earth culture by adopting its most beloved hairstyle?

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

It doesn't protect the scalp from the sun.

[–] eva_sieve@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that you have two pairs of the same person and that more than half of these examples (Solkar, Spock, Sarek) are sourced from a single family.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah yes, vulcans have genetically inherited haircuts

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

Look, I'm just sayin', if you know there's a particular haircut that looks good on your family's skull shape, it might be logical to stick with it.

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it’s the most logical haircut

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 year ago

It kind of really is

  • unisex
  • low maintenance, looks pretty much the same at all times
  • functional, nothing can get stuck in machinery or fall into the eyes, fits easily into helmets
  • unassuming, reasonably aesthetic

That barber must be exhausted.

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

The Barber of Vulcan gives everyone a bowl cut who doesn't do their own hair, so who bowl cuts the barber? (Ancient Vulcan logic test, too difficult for human minds.)

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

Vulcan's hair could simply grow to this length and stop.

[–] Lath@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago
[–] sagrotan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

One less decision, one less problem. One moment, maybe that's the solution?! For us all to live long & prosper?? I'll take it!
