/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. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

For the first few episodes of SNW i actually thought Christina was Cara Gee. I’m not great with faces and they really do give off the same character energy.

A year ago this sub made me realize that Julian Bashir and Gaius Baltar weren't played by the same person. Today they did it again, but with Christina.

Julian Bashir and Gaius Baltar weren't played by the same person.

No they absolutely were. Here is the proof:

Why does Gaius Baltar looks so different now?

No, gaius was played by marcus cole

I never noticed it before but you're absolutely right.

And then you realize Siddig's full name is Siddig el-Tahir el-Fadil el-Siddig Abdurrahman Mohammed Ahmed Abdel Karim el-Mahdi and James Callis' full name is James Nicholas Callis.

IIRC the long name is because of the Sudanese tradition to name a child after everyone who was in the room when they were born.

The point being that they likely have differences in their heritage. Alexander is also essentially Sudan Aristocracy

You can’t for one second tell me somebody didn’t do that on purpose. It was uncanny.

It was the same for me. I was really impressed with her very stereotypical British accent.
