/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. 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.

My god! Imagine what MavGyver could do with Self Sealing Stem Bolts!

The world was not yet ready.

Everything.

He could’ve done everything.

Losing Odo to the Great Link really changed ~~Major~~ Colonel Kira and sent her down a dark path. Here she is, later, sadistically overseeing an illegal augment program codenamed Manticore:

Visitor was absolutely terrifying in that role.

[–] satanmat@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Er… what show was this?

Skimmed IMDB and nothing jumped out

I re-watched it not too long ago (prob 4-5 years ago?) and it's hit or miss on how well it holds up. Honestly don't know if I could recommend going out of your way to watch it. (If you can even find it anywhere. I stumbled across the DVD set at a yard sale for like $6 lol)

Plot, character, and cinematography-wise, it's pretty great. What holds it back is all of the very, very dated slang from the late 90s/early 00's and trying way too hard to be "hip". The latter makes it extremely cringe to watch in present day.

A database of Dark Angel secrets?! ASMODAI

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

DID SOMEBODY SAY REPENT‽‽‽‽

Smashes heretics repeatedly with holy battlemace

Dark Angel

Visitor played Dr. Elizabeth Renfro, the director of the evil corp. Was just a recurring character.

[–] satanmat@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Ah! Thank you.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 4 points 11 months ago

She only turned to that after The Blessing failed

[–] ItsComplicated@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I know this reference!! There are too many times I am not sure.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 4 points 11 months ago

Ha, I was hoping there was at least one other person on the planet who remembered this show existed. 😆

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 25 points 11 months ago (4 children)

This makes me wonder how Richard Dean Anderson has never been in a Trek after so many iterations. If Robert Picardo can jump the Gate/Trek divide, surely RDA can too.

[–] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

"No, sir, we can't call it the Enterprise"

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

That's a very good question.

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 6 points 11 months ago

Too busy exploring certain portals to the stars.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

RDA hated Sci Fi before Stargate. They tricked him by telling him it was a mostly Military-themed movie and show

[–] pedz@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

Not entirely false. I stopped rewatching Stargate because I got tired of hearing guns being fired in nearly every episode.

In Star Trek they usually have phasers unless they are time travelling. Pretty much the same for other sci-fi shows; they are usually energy based weapons.

But in Stargate, they convince Teal'c to use P90s and a good chunk of some episodes is just Tau'ri/humans firing guns at aliens.

i'm maybe a third of the way into macguyver and nana visitor has already played two seperate characters

[–] shutz@lemmy.ca 16 points 11 months ago

So many guest stars on MacGyver also appeared on Star Trek... It helps that MacGyver was also a Paramount show.

Also, watch the MacGyver pilot for a surprise appearance by the torpedo tube hatch through which Spock was shot out of.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

“Yep, she was in Star Trek!”

[–] scroll_responsibly@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 11 months ago

From Colonel Jack O’Neill of all people!

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Gotta love the 80s, a time when both men and women wore the same business casual version of the mullet.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

"Business in the front, party in the rear" isn't just for the fellas.

I mean a replicator is just a transporter that can freely rearrange atoms

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Im exactly dumb enough to know how to fight these things

And the wormhole is triggered via Stargate, the wormhole aliens are the ancients
