/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.

When Riker takes a seat he typically does so by swinging one leg over the back of the chair -- if you search Riker Manoeuvre, there's a bunch of images or clips. I think it had to do with some sort of back injury the actor had previously.
Ok, thanks. That makes way more sense haha I'm slow.
i'm sure you've seen the lucky 10,000 comic, but maybe i'm eccentric: every opportunity to learn is exciting, not embarrassing. unless you're like 30 and learning to wipe your ass. that's embarrassing.
I'M LOOKING AT YOU, GOOBER. WIPE YOUR ASS.
Omg i love that 🥰 no one's ever made something like that for me. I'm all flustered now.
just hang out a while, i'm sure i'll make you a few more. it is a hobby of mine
Boimler call it out in Lower Decks / Strange New Worlds crossover as he swings a leg over the saddle in the ready room. Even funnier when you realize it was an improvised line, and Frakes was directing that episode, so he was in the room.
Ah, so swinging his leg over this chair might cause damage to his tromboner?
IIRC it's from when he worked as a furniture mover before his acting career took off.
