/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

It's VOY. VGR is the weird sentient space probe from ST:TMP.

"Why does he always call it [TOS]?"

[–] x4740N@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Yeah I was trying to figure out what the fuck they meant

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Yes, people have been using the VGR abbreviation since the 1990s as an homage to The Motion Picture.

Other, less sophisticated people use VOY. ;)

He's a people-person! He's good at dealing with people! Can't you people see that? What the hell is wrong with you people?!

Dr. Jeremy Lucas, Ear Nose and Throat specialist.

[–] Aganim@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Ah, they must be related to Chief Technician Robert "Pliers" Sykes!

[–] Lawnman23@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

As much as I love all Wing Commander games, I never made the connection that that was him in WC4 till now. Mind blown!

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

"The Man From Earth" movie. Please go watch. He comes in later, and boy does he make the wait worthwhile.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Practically the whole cast is Trek alumni.

[–] BangelaQuirkel@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The whole movie is pretty 'trek' and a great watch

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Yep, it's one of my all-time favorites. If you like a good One Room Play story like Midnight from Doctor Who, definitely check this out.

Richard Riehle was also the good reverend in Fried Green Tomatoes.

[–] Evilcoleslaw@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

I remember him mostly as the grandpa in Grounded For Life but he's good in a lot of stuff.

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

There was also this Ent episode:

I think the augments make him watch his colleague die.

That was it
