/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 just saw this episode and never realized that Zefram Cochrane had a history that went back to The Original Series in 1967.

For anyone curious, the character Zefram Cochrane first appears in 'Metamorphosis', the TOS episode from season two episode 9 ... played by Glenn Corbett.

The character was later featured in the 1996 Star Trek film .. Star Trek: First Contact .. and played by James Cromwell.

I only mention this because it was a surprise to me.

A surprise because the first appearance of Cochrane makes him look like a well groomed, uptight, upright military man ..... Then the 1996 version is a drunken idiot.

Just like with the Klingons' change, the Federation doesn't like to talk about this.

Well after brining about peace and prosperity, he sorts himself out.

Actually I think he’s in the Enterprise pilot isn’t he? Giving a speech I think.

Which one does ending up in a beep box count as?

[–] TheMongoose@kbin.social 9 points 9 months ago

He ended up on a planet where fantasies were so realistic they transcended reality and he wasn’t confined to the chair, so…

The beep box fucking slayed me.

The Companion gave him eternal life, so why not de-age?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Sure, but you'd think that would give him an excuse to party more.
