/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.

The My Chemical Romance cover of this song is quite good, perhaps better than the original.

I think my very long Christmas playlist with a mix of alternative and popular Christmas songs insulates me from hearing the original on repeat, and as a result, I don't have as bitter of feelings towards it. I mean, it's not my favorite, but I've heard much worse Christmas songs. It's a lowest-common-denominator corporate pop anthem, but at least a well-executed one; as long as it's not on repeat, I don't mind hearing it once in a while.

I know about "The Night Santa Went Crazy", but the mass shooting sort of violence in it is not so funny anymore; I much prefer "Christmas At Ground Zero". I'll have to look into the AC/DC one, though.

Some of my favorites from my playlist:

  • Jonathan Coulton and John Roderick's banger Christmas album One Christmas At a Time, of which my favorites are "Christmas In Jail", "One Christmas at a Time", and "Christmas with You Is the Best"
  • Also, Jonathan Coulton's "Chiron Beta Prime"
  • "Sad" and "CryptoSanta" by Lemon Demon
  • "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight)" by the Ramones
  • Most of the stuff on "They Might Be Giants in Holidayland" EP is good; most of it is from earlier albums, but it's a good collection of holiday stuff they've done. I'm just sad they've never released "We Just Go Nuts at Christmastime".^1^
  • Puddle's Pity Party version of "I'll Be Home For Christmas", because it sounds like someone is sneaking up behind you to murder you.
  • "Me and the Snowman" by Logan Whitehurst

1: There's also a song called "Christmas Cards" never released outside of a 7" from 1993. "Christmas In the Bighouse" is not on streaming because it's exclusive to the band's shop; I own it on CD and in FLAC, but can't put it on the playlist unfortunately because it's in Apple Music and collaborative playlists can't use personal library tracks.
