/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.

I’m sorry, I was more of a Stargate person. This is all I’ve got.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago (3 children)

This is one of the best SG1 episodes.

IN THE MIDDLE OF MY BACKSWING!!

Except that Jack never does figure out what Daniel was talking to him about that the beginning of the loop! They had time to put people in Farscape makeup for episode 200, but throughout the rest of the series we never learn what that was.

Always leave them wanting more.

The contrast to Teal’c getting the door slammed in his face every cycle.

[–] Somsphet 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Unless Christopher judge himself tells me otherwise, I choose to believe that this exact moment is when Tealc's loop starts. Too late to move, just early enough to feel the pain.

That and him just shoving the door back gets me every time

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

I wanna know where they cast the stuntman from.

"We're looking for a mousey motherfucker that can pratfall like Buster Keaton. $50 dollars with craft services access and you don't even get your face on camera."

Not only for the humor and the great puzzle that groundhog day dilemmas always give, but the part at the end where he talks about his son (referencing the movie which I think is the only time?) to convince the guy to give up trying to bring his wife back...that is great writing.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

referencing the movie which I think is the only time?

He references his son about a dozen times. There was one episode where he was copied by those blue crystals and the copy went home and talked to his exwife about the kid.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Okay, been a while. The time one stuck in my head, for obvious reasons.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

His kid is still a major character event through the first couple seasons, but it falls off by S4.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Is it defibrillating now?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You mean I could have upvoted this meme a dozen times already?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

A dozen, a hundred, it's impossible to tell.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago (3 children)

LOL, hey, I'm trying. My submissions may not be top-shelf, but at least they're OC. 😆

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

OC gang rise up.

I’m doing my part.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm about half and half myself

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

I've never really thought about it on my part. If I see a fun one I don't think has been shared before, I share it. If I think up a good idea, I try to do it myself.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

I appreciate and enjoy your work.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Me too. I feel attacked because I haven't been able to post in a bit. Over 100 OC video edits at this point xD

Someone is upset they keep seeing O’Brian at Work over and over again.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Me? No. I love it. I told NN that it's a great idea to post it daily.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Sorry, I meant it in good fun.

I imagined you grabbing your hair and thinking “Wait, which number is this? Did I read it already? WHICH LOOP AM I IN?!”

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

At least the fandom has a big body of work to meme from.

The Avatar fandom has about 48 hours of total runtime. And novels that, tragically, no one memes.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

It’s the best Lemmy though.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

We just need to 3 in order to break the loop. But what does that mean in meme form?

Three reversed polarities? Three Borg nanoprobes? Three identical Lwaxana's in a corridor, a la the twins in The Shinning?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Three identical Lwaxana's in a corridor, a la the twins in The Shinning?

Picard: Mr. LaForge, this is the worst transporter accident in Federation history.

Geordi: It could have been worse, Captain. They could have been horribly merged.

Picard: But at least there would still only be one of them.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

The trauma that might top Locutus.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Okudagrams are so beautiful. It's a very specialized form of art.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

LCARS is quite impractical as an actual OS design, but it's very nice to look at.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

True. LCARS is designed to fill the screen and look functional. All the buttons and labels with the 65-55320 on it remind me of the labels in our projects before the developer loaded the translation file.

Although the reverse, the minimalism in modern OS, sometimes make it hard to see what is actually part of a window.

I will repost this in 6 months

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Someone will have definitely beaten you by five months and three weeks.
