/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.

The 70's had their own weird shit:

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 47 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That wasn't an attempt at sexiness, that was an attempt at making a movie while doing all the drugs.

[–] ItsAFake@lemmus.org 22 points 1 year ago

The sexiness was just a very happy accident.

[–] kellyaster@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol Zardoz was ahead of its time!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hey, I love Zardoz. I have an original Zardoz poster what was (until I recently swapped it for a The Human Duplicators poster) on my wall in a frame.

But seriously, it was a drug-fueled mess. John Boorman admitted as much:

Um, it was The '70s, and I was doing a lot of drugs. Frankly, even I'm not entirely sure what parts of the movie are about.

The insanity of Zardoz is exactly why I love it. Does it make sense? Not much. But I love a lot of movies that don't make much sense.

[–] kellyaster@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lol it's not my style at all (I'm more a Barbarella cheese fan), but I do appreciate the spectacle it achieved, even if it looks outrageously silly today. It's definitely a product of its time. Seriously though, you could take the movie and all it's wild production stories, claim it was made in the 80s, and everybody would believe you. I'm not unconvinced Boorman wasn't a time traveler

[–] drivepiler@lemmy.world 45 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That, my friend, is a moose knuckle.

Ugh, I hate it when the nuts overlap the seam...

[–] Mostly_Gristle@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The '80s were strange. But I remember watching this when it originally aired and the costumes in this episode were pretty extra even for the time.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

I agree actually. I just didn't think of a better title. I was 12 when that episode came out, meaning I was at the perfect age to drool over a sexy lady and even then I was like, "nah."

[–] antidote101@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He's doing some great acting, that shit must be uncomfortable as fuck.

[–] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I promise that she is even more uncomfortable. That shit is digging deep

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It looks like both of them are being cut in two.

King Solomon says cut them in two by their panties. I will eat the pie myself.

[–] Gork@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

His penis is facing to his right.

I don't know what to do with this information.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Gork@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ehh those outfits are doing nothing for me.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

The season one costumer failed again!

One of many reasons the 2380s will look back upon this post with disdain.

Edit: Okay, apparently I was far too subtle trying to point out that a man can be trans. Just me being woke SJW in TenForward I guess 🤷

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

If that's what we have to look forward to in the future, there is no way I'm becoming a country singer who gets cryogenically frozen on a spaceship for 300 years.

I like to imagine what went down in the casting office for this episode.

"Yeah, yeah. She's fine, lets show off that belly button to prove she had a mom. But him... Let's give the world an anatomy lesson with him." Then the rest of the room erupts into wolf-whistles and lewd comments.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I genuinely worry about the people who find either of those outfits titillating.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yeah, not enough neon and mesh for what we found attractive in the 80s.

Maybe if they swapped...

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

My main issue with this is that the bottoms are too tight.

Far be it for me to judge an alien race's fashion, but that does not look comfortable.

The tops aren't particularly great either, though I like the "design" of the female version better than the one that guy is wearing.... "Like" is probably too strong of a term.

In every case, the first few seasons of TNG had it's problems. This episode was one of them. A society where the only punishment was death? What the actual fuck?

Sci-Fi loves taking real world things to extremes. In the US cattle rustling (stealing) was punishable by hanging for a very long time.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Picard's actions were terribly written too. He kidnapped a woman from the planet and brought her up to the ship with her god on it to confirm she worshiped it and it terrified her.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah. The whole episode was kind of off the wall in terms of sanity.

Not the worst episode they made, but it was up there.

[–] Steve@startrek.website 7 points 1 year ago

Good news, when they aren’t being executed they are free to jog and fuck all day long

[–] teft@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

My chesticles are up here!

Keep your leering starman gaze away from my cameltoe.

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 year ago

Idk, I’m kinda into it.

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (4 children)

It was really pushing the limits at the time.

They are aliens. Maybe their plumbing is different.

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

Should have gone the Benny Hill way and have the planet go nude while covered by the environment in the shots.

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

Fucking season 1 man.

Dude's probably on a list after wearing that shit on TV

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Man, it takes balls to wear that outfit.

Or insanity, you can clearly see the nuts

Can we blame Rick Berman for this one?

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

He looks quite a bit like a young Martin Short, if you look up for a moment.
