/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.

Chef's kiss of a response.

Btw, does anybody know what bottle was used for that Aldebaran Whisky? It looks to me like Jose Cuervo 1800 bottle.

Don't forget the -J from the ENT future

Also recall that NCC-1701 and NCC-1701-A are different ships.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Also don’t forget to include Janeway’s Enterprise. Rumdar was able to steal all of it’s secrets.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

? The Voyager wasn't called enterprise.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Go watch Lower Decks and you’ll get the joke.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

To anyone who has not seen Lower Decks, and either doesn't want to or can't:

Rumdar is a Pakled (the "It Makes Us Go", "capture Geordie and force him to make them strong" dumb guys)

When the captain of the USS Cerritos meets this Pakled (and others) they all call her Janeway (because she's a woman and in starfleet, therefore either she must be captain Janeway or all female captains are named Janeway)

They also refer to the Cerritos as "Enterprise", as well as the USS Titan, which they call "Another Enterprise", so either they think all ships are coincidentally named Enterprise , or all starfleet ships are called Enterprise.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Rumdar truly is a master spy.

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

Does the ringship count? I'm not sure at what point a "spaceship" becomes a "starship".

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I don't know about in Trek lore, but I think in the real world, when a ship is designed or used to travel from one star system to another, it's classified as a starship

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

In ST they definitely use shuttles and runabouts to travel between star systems, but they aren't called starships.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

or used

So the X-Wing Luke flies to meet Yoda for the first time (ostensibly in a different star system) was a starship?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I mean, I did specify "in the real world" and that we were taking about ST, but sure, I guess it applies to SW, too.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

USS Enterprise, NCC-1701, no bloody A, B,C, or D.

[–] possiblylinux127 2 points 1 month ago

You missed the Enterprise J

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Galactica, Millennium Falcon, Rocinante, Heart of Gold, Serenity, Starfury, and Pillar of Autumn.

Forgot the TARDIS.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Knowing that there are 7+ Enterprises already qualifies you as a Star Trek nerd.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

That's the joke.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Alright, so there's Voyager, Voyager from when it got split while fighting the Vidians, Voyager from when it got duplicated by the silver blood, Enterprise D, Enterprise D from that time it got reflected back across time while the original was stuck in a temporal anomaly, the NX-01 Enterprise, and the NX-01 Enterprise from the aborted timeline where they fail to stop the Xindi and stay in the Expanse for like 80 years, and Trip and T'pol have a full adult son. Has the Cerritos been duplicated yet?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

Also, the Enterprise D when it got stuck in the time loop where Frasier kept giving them a fatal fender bender. It could have been blown up a dozen times, a hundred, impossible to tell.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Could have gone for Voyager-J and do the same thing with the Enterprise but for Voyager.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Voyager (assuming they didn't skip any letters between A and J)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We know there's at least a Voyager D in Lower Decks time. Which does seem fast for the ones between. I hope they didn't keep losing them

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

Voyager-A was active as of 2385, and LD takes place from 2380+. Either there's a production goof, or Janeway self-destructs the 'A' as well as it's next two successors in rapid succession. Given her propensity for initiating auto destruct, I guess it's not too far-fetched lol.

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

Maybe she's promoted to Fleet Captain, and gets put in charge of Voyagers A-C all at once, to take them on a deep space expedition. After they're predictably swept away in an anomaly, the D is built

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Or when the shipyards found out she took command of the "A", they just started immediately building B through D assuming they'd be needed in short order lol.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I think she directly says "what's that, like 10 generations?" after noticing the -J and gets corrected that it's 11 (since she forgot about the non letter Voy)

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lower Decks answer:

"Cerritos, Burbank, Anaheim , Fresno , Sherman Oaks, Riverside, Culver City.... Riverside, Santa Monica... Just tell me when to stop."

Captain Josh Chan of the USS West Covina

What a fun crossover. One of my all time favs.

Anyhow, it reminds me of the Lower Decks episode with the Pakleds (?)

[–] possiblylinux127 1 points 1 month ago

I too enjoyed this lovely cross over on this wonderful lovely day

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Yo, the starship's warp core is bussin' frfr! Captain's like, 'Beam me up, bestie!' and we're yeet-ing through subspace at warp 9. The Klingons are being mad sus, no cap. Our shields are giving skibidi vibes, but the photon torpedoes are straight fire. The away team's fit check? Phaser-proof drip, obvi. Holodeck's glitching though - major L. Vulcan science officer's spitting facts, but it's lowkey mid. Computer's all 'Unable to comply' - skill issue much? Anyways, we're about to go goblin mode on this anomaly. Space, the final frontier? Nah fam, it's just our rizz playground!

(Please forgive me -.-)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

(Please forgive me -.-)

I most certainly will not.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

No Diddy chat, on God I'm sus

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Making an actual episode where there is a race that talks like this would be the perfect way to kill it off. Just imagine Picard attempting to communicate with this race in their own language. No kid will survive the cringe.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

this is what Lower Decks is probably like to people who haven't seen Lower Decks

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I am going to gleefully show this to my child tonight when I'm home... Love using the "brain rot" against her. :)

The Lollipop

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Ackshully...

The TOS Enterprise, as well as the A, D and E are usually referred to as "The Enterprise". B and C aren't on long enough for me to remember if it applied to them as well.

However, the NX-01 was always referred to as "Enterprise", (without the "The"). It's like they were making a point of it, too. So I wouldn't count it with regards to this meme.

So you then have to decide which ones you would count, such as the J, the one in ST:P, whatever came up on Discovery... Or whether you want to consider alternates as distinct.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

If you ever feel the need to look up the origin of this meme, do yourself and please don't.

I've never seen a more painfully unfunny crossover of two of the worst shows in television, until I looked up the scene that this meme is from.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Unnecessary crossover? Sure, I'll give you that one.

Two of the worst shows in (sic) television?? Absolutely not.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Sorry I should have worded my comment better. What I meant was that New Girl and Brooklyn 99 are among the worst shows on television, not that they are the worst shows on television.

Thanks for pointing out my mistake.
