/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.

I get it, it's the 32nd century and the glasses are maybe heads up displays that only he can see and use. But don't you think in three thousand years they would have figured out how to build that stuff INTO or ONTO the eye? Instead of making the person, or the person choosing to wear an ancient form of corrective lenses.

The character himself explained in one episode, why he still wears glasses (something about psychological effect or so, I think).

Georgiou: Why are you wearing glasses?
Kovich: They make me look smarter. I like them.

It's weird how I have complete faith that this actor could deliver that line (about bo staff skills) with gravity and poise.

I had the same impression when I first read it .... then I had to rethink and wonder if these were actual lines from the show

In that case, I'll put on my 17th century dress wear for my next evening event ... no one will be able to beat my witty arguments while wearing my formal dress, neck ring, leggings and pompom high heel shoes

Well, if you recall it was Win... Winston Chur... Winston Churchi- I'm sorry, but are you really just gonna stand around like that while we debate? And why the fuck is there an artist doing an oil painting of you right now? Whatever, I can't debate with someone like this!

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago

Check and mate ... adjust neck ring ... NOW, as I was saying ....

Something makes me want to put a dollar bill in that thing around your calf...

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago

For a dollar more, we can have more fun

When you wear glasses, people don’t look at your eyes. They look at your glasses. It’s especially useful for deception.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 months ago

The more I think about the reasons why his character has glasses ... and the more I look at him and remember his character ... the more I thought that he was probably an android of some sort and the glasses might have been just a distraction or deception so that people wouldn't think he wasn't human.
