/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.

I mean, the Star Trek timeline was incredibly shitty for humans up until it wasn’t.
True. But eventually human empathy succeeded. Call me pessimistic -- the barista sure likes to -- but I just don't see that happening for this timeline!
We have to go through at least two major conflicts first, ww3 and the eugenics wars, according to trek.
At least we are on track for those i suppose 🤧
Right! Maybe that's why all these tech bros are embracing Dark Enlightenment. Trying to bring it about way sooner than makes sense.
Didn’t we go through it already like, last week?
No, that was the Bell Riots. WWIII is scheduled to start in 2026.
Yes but unfortunately the “sanctuary district” in El Salvador still has an entrance but no exit, we may need to riot a bit more
Well, shit… WWIII just started boys..
the bell riots were last century
Did you see the gallery at the trial in Encounter at Farpoint? Mid-21st humanity seems right on track for Star Trek future.
did i see it‽ where do you think i get fashion tips?
I must have missed it!
Highpoint of Hawkgirl's day, in fact!

Is that Ben Aflec?
Nah, that's Hawkman. Ben Aflac is Duckman.
WTF is a Hawkman? Isn't that Billy Chrystal in that movie Birdman?
Nah, a Hawkman is a semi-immortal Egyptian who keeps getting reincarnated only to be murdered by the same jerk again and again for thousands of years.
Also: the worst character of the main ones in Legends of Tomorrow
That sounds kind of interesting! Is it a series or movie saga?
That's their origin story according to Legends of Tomorrow, an ensemble DC Comics show where the aforementioned hawk people are on the team. There's also time travel!
It doesn't feature the best writing or acting ever, but it's pretty fun if you're into that kind of thing 😁
It sounds like a neat premise! I'll bookmark this comment and check it out. Thanks for the info!
