/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.

Actually, it's from Battlefield Earth and they're called Vogons.

Actually, it's from Farscape and it's called a Scarran.

You folks are ridiculous, that's obviously an Uruk-hai from the Harry Potter books.

Haha, you are so wrong! It's actually a baby goa'uld but since the angle here shows only upper chest and upwards, you couldn't see it sticking out of the gut.

But just look at those eyes!! Are you telling me that there isn't an inhuman glow to them ⁉️

What's a babby goold? Is that from Starship Troopers?

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No! I believe it's from Princess Dune: 2 Quickly 2 get to Cereus (also: the search for moar money-balls)

Side-note: Scrooge McDuck loves to swim through his gould, though for some reason every time he does about a day later an alien with acid blood and an exoskeleton explodes out of his chest.

I think I get the Sopranos part of this joke, but is that over a particular music video or something? Is that relevant to the joke?

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not that I'm aware. Just looked for a Sopranos gabagool gif and this caught my eye.

~~Usher - "There Goes My Baby"~~

~~https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQezahghTBY%7E%7E

~~The chorus to that song is~~

~~There goes my baby
(Ooh, girl, look at you)
You don't know how good it feels to call you my girl
There goes my baby
Loving everything you do
Ooh, girl, look at you~~

~~So I think the joke in that GIF is basically supposed to just be "he really loves that meat".~~

Not sure why GIF sites seem to claim that GIF is that song, because after actually watching that music video, it is clearly not. After some more research, I have concluded it was actually from Usher - "Confessions Part II".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Sy19X0xxrM

The relevant lyrics from the bit in that GIF:

I'm riding in my whip, racin' to her place
Talking to myself, preparin' to tell her to her face
She open up the door and didn't wanna come near me
I said, "One second, baby, please hear me"

So, it seems more like an "I love you but you don't love me back" situation or something.

I thought it was a Morlock from Bill and Ted's Excellent Hot Tub Time Machine

[–] SatyrSack@quokk.au 3 points 1 day ago

I'm a fake fan.
