/c/TenFoward: 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.

This is only a low quality post if you would pick Stonn over Spock. (lemmy.world)

Forgive me, I can't post any images directly from Firefox/Android version of Lemmy and don't know htf to use image hosting yet. I want all of the Best Brains to come together for a moment of reflection. I just saw the episode of TOS in which Kirk, Spock and McCoy put their lives on the line against T'Pring the Spicy Senorita in a game of Horny Death Chess. Please, reflect: who would choose Stonn over Spock? Real estate and post code swagger worth having to "consort" with someone who is not your equal socially, aesthetically or intellectually? Was Stonn playing the long game to move up the social ladder? Was there a "Downton"-esque world of servants and farmers back on Spock's estates, just praying that T'Pring didn't take over The Manor?

Also, keep in mind that Stonn was a full Vulcan, whereas Spock was a half-breed. Vulcans are more than a little racist in that respect, and it didn't help that Spock was always off cavorting with humans in Starfleet. Her choice of Stonn given the culture of Vulcan was pretty damn logical.

But he fugly.

There's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo of Stonn in Strange New Worlds IIRC. He was one of T'Pring's coworkers. Maybe she just got closer to him there.

Aesthetically I think Spock and Stonn are about equal.

I feel like Adam Driver would be a good Stonn.

I will never be able to not picture that now.

Neither will I. He wouldn't need ear prosthetics and he's sort of wide and square.

Back in the day, Ivana Trump [wife #1] was the star of the show and Donnie was the chump who carried her bags. Donnie dumped her and became a big deal. In this case, T'Pring realized that if she was with Spock, she'd always be the second banana. It's that simple.
