/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.

That caused generational trauma
He’s having flashbacks to when the whales attacked.
Or when he conspired to try and start a war.
Well… yes and no. The most recent home media release removes all those scenes about the war, the assassination and the reveal.
EDIT: I don’t know why Paramount couldn’t just settle on a director’s cut that they clearly state is separate from the theatrical cut which is canonical. They keep changing the cut with each release.
EDIT 2: I am sure @ummthatguy@lemmy.world, you know this. I’m adding this for others reading my comment who are unaware. Throughout the years, various home media releases for STVI, have inconsistently included and removed a number of (if not all) scenes regarding a secret plan to keep Federation and Klingon Empire at war, as well as the assasination attempt on the Federation President and on top of that a reveal that the assassin was a Human disguised as a Klingon, and revealing that the Human is Colonel West (played by René Auberjonois). A old Director’s Cut showed the fake rescue plan by West and how he eventually was going to attempt to kill the Federation President. Subsequent releases would jumble what scenes got included. Someone would show Colonel West rescue plan scene and the assassination attemp but never the reveal while others showed just the reveal. As of the latest 4K release, all of these scenes have been removed again.
If Worf doesn’t say “this is not Klingon blood” then I don’t wanna watch it!
It adds depth and intrigue to the story. The extra run time is worth it. Just silly to leave it out or chop it up haphazardly. Even TOS has its share of corrupt captains.
René famously was unaware of the first VHS release editing back in his scenes. Some versions oddly don’t credit him when a scene is present.
