/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.

HAROLD! I need more of those crossover things. Time for the lodge meeting!

[–] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Sorry, he's too busy shorting grain futures on Bay street.

Is this a deep Canadian reference? Do I have to join the Canadian Illuminati to find out what it means?

[–] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

There was a drama show about Canada's version of Wall Street (Bay Street) traders called, well, Traders.
The guy who played Harold played a main character (I think a partner in the firm?) on Traders at the same time for a few years. Harold sometimes made references/easter eggs about the show.

But yes, you likely need to be Canadian (and at least 30) to know.

Also, the guy from The Hanging Garden (unless you're in the Canuckinati, you need to be gay, and Canadian, and 30+ to know about this movie, but it's pretty great for its time) was also in this show.
He also later did a pretty weird-but interesting web show called "Cute with Chris", which is also worth a look.

I had no idea! Thank you, I've decided not to join the Canuckinati, please don't reveal any more secrets to me.

[–] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

That's the safer choice to make.
If you ever do want to apply, you need to seek the beasts of Beave and Buckley, Lady Mona of Nanalan, or Lunette queen of the couch.

Who should be Harold in the Star Trek universe? I have been trying to figure out who it could be.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Who on the show hides the pain?

[–] PlasmaDistortion@lemm.ee 6 points 8 months ago

Harold tends to be the idiot and I just cannot bring myself to do that to O'Brien. He is way too good for that. https://lemm.ee/post/21171759

"When your family is holding their noses and cryin', you'd best call O'Brien!"

[–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

That's a Harold, if I ever saw one, eh.

[–] model_tar_gz@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Lt. Barclay might be a good fit.

And if you need to re wrap your bat'leth, just grab your trusty roll of duct tape.

Keep your kar'takin on the ice

[–] JizzmasterD@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Prolly better than the “keep your Kling-on the ice,” that I was thinking 👍🏼

[–] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 months ago

...how did I not even think of that, it even rhymes

The Klingon version of Adventures with Bill was forced to conclude after a segment resulted in the destruction of the moon Praxis.

"Harold, if anyone ever finds out what happened in that parking lot, our house will be dishonored forever."

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Look... between Shatner, Doohan and where they shoot literally every modern Star Trek show, isn't Star Trek already Canadian enough?

[–] vynlwombat@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Wow this one got me lol
