/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. 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.

Watching TNG as a kid
Realizing, now, you're only 5 years younger than Patrick Stewart was when he started filming TNG (47)
Which is even more mind-blowing when you consider that a lot for these long-awaited sequels...the protagonist in the sequel is as old, if not older than, their mentor in the original.
I could be mis-remembering on some of these, but...
Creed: Stallone was older in this movie mentoring Apollo Creed's son, than Mickey was in the original Rocky
TopGun Maverick: Tom Cruise is >= Tom Skerritt (Viper) in Top Gun
Cobra Kai: Ralph Macchio >= Pat Morita in Karate Kid
SWTLJ: Mark Hamill >= Alex Guinness
yea, we're old. but we haven't done a little big horn like custer did when he was 36
there's always someone better, but there's also always someone worse
Another Kirk POV: Watching a Beastie Boys song destroy a fleet of alien vessels... Realizing you were playing the same song when you drove your big brother's Corvette off a cliff as a kid.
That’s all Mark Twain’s fault.
I was watching DS9 last night and they said "Chief O'Brien can't be a day over 38"
-_-
I knew I was old when I heard Sell Out by RBF in the grocery store.
That hurts my heart... aside from other heart health related issues.
I got more rhymes than I got gray hair And that's a lot because I got my share
Headstrong is what broke me
...first time i heard ozzy playing in a grocery store twenty-five years ago, i knew my age had passed into history...
What are the pics from? They look familiar but I can't place it
That's a young James T. Kirk in the opening of Star Trek (2009), the J.J. Abrams reboot film.
Surely that wasn't 16 years ago.
Surely.
Gracias!
Kelvin Timeline Star Trek from '09. I usually put that info in the body notes.
Oh thanks! I'm using Lemmy from a mobile app, so I'm not sure how to see extra info like that
Over 50 years of tunes floating around in my noggin.
Adam Yauch died 13 years ago.
