/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.

On seeing this design twice makes me question where it comes from. Did somebody make an illustration for the books or how did this happen?
The design for the robot itself comes from the 2005 (not the 1981) movie. (trailer - Marvin appears at ~1:10)
But if you mean this particular style of image with this font and such, that I don't know - perhaps some stickers or tshirts or such became popular to share, it does look nice:-).
Nope I meant the robot. I only ever watched the 1981 movie though. I forgot that there was another.
Was the 1981 better than the newer one? I mean, still none of the movies come close to the sheer poetry of the book, but as far as a movie goes, is the former at all worth watching?
I liked all of the versions I observed which were in order radio play, 1981 film, books. I would find it difficult to pick a favourite.
Well now you can look forward to also trying the 2005 movie as well!:-)
