/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.

What they got back didn't live long. Fortunately.

Edit: Or maybe they'd end up with a Tuvix situation. Tayirk? Kirlor?

Who wouldn't want to be her eyelash stylist and just go around with her, doin crimes?

Kronk had it good.

Klingon transporters guard against that. Ever since that incident with a tribble, that no one is allowed to talk about.

Was expecting different search results, but here we are:

What the Hell am I doing with my life, that I missed that?

(September 29 2007, with a rematch in 2008, for those wondering.)

I'm honestly kinda surprised the image is that old. It looks like one of those weird shit post things that popped up in the immediate aftermath of COVID.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 4 days ago

That Klingon is looking at the Furry like he finally knows what his life has been missing.

[–] xia@lemmy.ca 15 points 3 days ago

What a way to find out Klingon tranporters don't have redundant annular confinement beams!

[–] grue@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Nah, they had already filled their wacky hijinks quota for that movie, so there was no danger at all.

They absolutely had not filled the wacky hijinks quota yet, the entire hospital sequence was yet to come.

Why does the resulting mutant look like the entire cast of Scooby Doo? Including the monster of the week?

Thank your for sharing this monstrosity I somehow missed ;)

[–] nafzib@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

This is one of my favorite YouTube videos of all time! I never expected to see a still frame from it in this community of all places. LOL

True but that would also fall apart if you tried to use it.

What arrived didn't live long. Fortunately.

[–] AbsolutelyNotSpez@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (2 children)

And who could blame Bones for refusing transporter technology? I'm the same, btw, just with aircrafts.

[–] autonomous@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I've read far too many post-incident reports on fatal plane crashes and their root causes - almost all of which were because humans took shortcuts in maintenance, repair, or design on the plane. Also the occasional traffic controller or pilot who fucked up bigtime.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I would rather ride my shitty 1984 Honda trail across the continental US than step on a plane. Mostly because I know the jackass who does repairs on my bike.

[–] varyingExpertise@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Unfortunately, roads in the US are populated with Americans. So... 🤷

Im from California and have gone up and down the western US. The only place I would actively go out of my way to avoid is Utah.

Do we call the hybrid abomination Jamlian or Gillames?

Not all exorcists drink coffee

Have you ever smelled what was in her cup? I mean routinely - aside from the cups that others hand to or in Neelix's case pour for her.

When she calls it "coffee" she's being polite. Some beings whisper... - though only in the dark & far from prying sensors, ofc - that it smells a LOT like the blood of her enemies...

VERY thick, DEEPLY dark liquid... it's hard to know what to choose to believe, especially if voicing your concerns would ensure that her next cup would smell like YOUR OWN BLOOD!!!

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 2 points 3 days ago

EXACTLY! And don't forget thick too. And possibly green in the case of Romulans.

And now you have an idea for your next spooky season meme.

They didn’t show the part where Scotty had to spend hours separating them molecule by molecule while they were in the buffer.

Try a skeletal lock! I've never even heard of it, but it might work in a pinch!
