/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.

You, uh, mounted your optic backwards there, bud.

Is it time to make fun of forever-Ensign Kim? I think it's high time for a promotion in fact, or maybe even a double one?...

Without spoilers, if you haven't seen the last season of Lower Decks, let's just say Harry being a perpetual ensign was not forgotten.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No I haven't seen it yet, tho omg you are helping build some anticipation for it!:-)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

You gotta watch it.

The penultimate episode literally made me squeal out loud, and I'm about the most stoic person you'll ever meet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

I swear it’s one of the top episodes in the franchise now.

Also, according to an okudagram shown close up by someone who worked on it, Harry is a lieutenant during Prodigy.

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

I want to! That sounds like the top one to start with if I haven't seen anything since Enterprise, right? I just need my irl situation to calm down to find time to watch things.

Tbf I did make time to watch Dune part 1 before it leaves Netflix entirely next week (and I'm so glad I did), but with any Star Trek show ever since Paramount left Netflix I have to spend far more attention either deciding how to pay for it or else to pirate, and then either way to go through the technicals of making it happen. And while I'm okay to pirate singular things, I do wrestle with the ethics that it doesn't feed forward towards the creation of new material. Fuck their corporate greed to fragment the market, but that's on them while I'm trying to figure out what I feel comfortable doing about it in response.:-(

The good news is the whole series Bluray release comes out on March 25 and looks like it'll be between $50-60.

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

Wouldn't a double promotion be to Lieutenant? Kim is an Ensign, next is Lieutenant Junior Grade, and then full Lieutenant.

But then again, when has voyager ever made sense? Jk.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Maybe it's bc this is forever-Ensign Kim under discussion here? A double promotion for him might end up being "Ensign"! 🫠🤪🤡

Like they add new ranks below him and then demote him to them, just to be able to "promote" him back to Ensign each time?:-)

This is the result of having too much buffer time traversing the Delta.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Now, can you attach that scope to the green clarinet?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Pft, kids today. Benny Goodman only ever used the iron sights his clarinet came with, smh...

No, that hasn't reached the Delta Quadrant yet. He brought it with him.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Lol. Touché.

That just seemed like something my friend would send me. She finds all kinds of r/CrackheadCraigslist things on FB marketplace and knows what I'll laugh at.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

FWIW a friend posted it on BlueSky.

To annoy the everliving shit at a phaser distance!

Silly Kim, the Borg can select what to assimilate and what not.
And the Borg do not tolerate ensign music war crimes.

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

Silly Kim, the Borg can select what to assimilate and what not.

Except for the times they couldn't, such as In the cases of Hugh, Icheb, and Endgame's Janeway vs Borg Queen.

Okay maybe the last one isn't fair since Janeway did have the future advantage. But the other cases showed that entire cubes were lost to this sort of attack.

I for one fully support Kim's weaponized concerto

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yes, you are right, but they claimed that (that they discard what they don't need from a new assimilation).
