/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Anybody else spend way too long trying to figure out why there were umlauts over the "n" in the second panel? 🀦🏻

In my car, shotgun is responsible for mapping/route research, communications, and cargo management; in exchange for handling these responsibilities, they get to choose the music.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Driver does however always have the right to veto the music.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Indeed! If one does not like the music, one may withhold service in one's responsibilities, and if that's the driver then we ain't going anywhere; if it's the copilot then the going will be less convenient. Everything's better when we can all agree on music!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Unsure if you’re too generous or if I’m being exploited as shotgun….

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Yup, copilot responsibilities.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Surely I can’t be the first person to point out that Data is not the β€œdriver” in the sense that he is not at the helm, right? Right???

Data is at Ops - the closest thing the TNG show had to a science station - because he was the Spock-analog.

Basically what I’m saying is that Geordi/Wesley/Ro/unnamed officer (depending on the season/episode) gets to pick the music, not Data!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

And the reason why he isn't actually at the science station is that Brent Spiner didn't look good in blue.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

That’s right! And they didn’t like the way Picard and Riker looked in gold, hence the move to red for the command division and engineering/security to gold.

And that’s the way it should be! Come at me, TOS fans! 🀣😎

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

yall realize Data wasnt the conn officer right?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Even the last season of Picard seemed to forget that Geordi was the pilot in season 1.

There's this whole sideplot with family strife because one of his daughters decided to be like their dad and become an engineer, while the other one rebelled against him and wanted to pilot ships. I thought they'd eventually point out that they're both following in his footsteps, but they never did.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I'm always surprised any of the NG actors agreed to be on that show.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

What kind of music does data listen to?

You might be quick to answer "Electronic"

We have been shown he listens to all kinds of music. At the same time.

In this ONE instance, I think it's okay to ignore the rules. Although if data wanted to change the music, can anyone really stop him?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Data: "Hm. Music, you say?"

0.758 seconds later

Data: "Ok, I've just finished 'Music' "

When sailing, Pilot gives the orders.

When on land, Captain gives the orders.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Driver can delegate music or podcast control, but reserves the right to get control back at any time, copilot is like a DJ who has to take requests.

Needed a belly laugh. OP delivers! Thanks, πŸ–– and congrats again on the neonate!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Always welcome, my dear laughter-is-the-best-medicine friend. Sleep is also good medicine. Here's hoping you and Mom are getting enough.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Wait... Star Trek/Supernatural crossover?!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

We know the rules of the road apply in Picard's Enterpsie because there's a bumper sticker outside the main shuttle bay that says "Dilithium, Felicium, or Latinum; No one one warps for free."

New Frontier or Bust

I have not yet had time to meet all of the new crew members.

I bet Data listens to EDM.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Oh yes electrical discharge machining noises are awesome in a dubstep track

What’s with the weird font?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

I found this one elsewhere, and it looks like it's been pretty distorted =(

(Edit: found a clearer version to replace it!)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

That's dedication to the craft

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

This whole meme looks AI generated. What's with the face behind Picard? Or Data's eyes? Or any of it, really, once you look closely?

Edit: the original meme has since been replaced. This comment is obsolete.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

These look like familiar shots to me, so I assumed this image has just seen better days...

Awww I was going to make a "That's just what Yar looks like now" joke but you fixed it

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Now I want to see the original.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Lol, here's the mildly melted one again.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

ha! it's even better the second time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Tasha looking like the Quiznos mascot.

Data strikes me as a Swans fan.
