/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.

Tom Bombadil was 0% an asshole

[–] Carlo@lemmy.ca 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think a certain Old Man Willow would disagree—not to mention the local barrow-wights! Always hopping through the forest, singing his dumb songs, lording it over everybody!

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Not to mention Goldberry

[–] LesserAbe@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Looks like we got the usual Bombadil defenders in this thread

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago

Q got screentime.

Ferengi are dwarves because they’re short and love gold…pressed latinum.

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They don't do any mining though.

[–] AngryishHumanoid@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I bet they'd be big on crypto mining.... Or at least crypto mining scams.

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

That actually makes a lot of sense.

But I sure fucking hope that kind of crypto garbage doesn't last.

The Orions are the real orcs, since they're fight-y, often criminal, and green. Klingons are dwarves. Honorable combat, clans, they hate the dark elf race, etc.

Aethetics aside, I'd say they're closer to drow. They enslave others in masse, usually evil, occasionally good/neutral.

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

For your information, many Orions haven't been pirates for over five years!

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

They're even matriarchal.

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 24 points 3 months ago

Is that the cover of Bohemian Rhapsody in the original Klingon?

You know, the way Gandalf yells at Pippin does remind me a bit of Picard and Wesley's dynamic...

[–] veroxii@aussie.zone 5 points 3 months ago

Fool of a Wesley!

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

I honestly always thought this was intentional

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

Well the romulans do scheme like drow…

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

And the focus on stealth vs brute force.
