/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.

You may be surprised to notice that this is Charles Napier, who has since played roles that have had nothing to do with this one

Well aware, but speaks to the diversity of his acting. Loved his character in The Goods. RIP

The purple-haired one (who apparently is called Tongo Rad) kind of looks like a Boimler.

Unfortunately, he’s canonically not human, but if he were, it would have been really funny to have a throwaway line about Boimler’s great-great grandfather being “in a weird cult of space hippies searching for Eden or something.”

Kinda reminds me of Brad Dourif in Dune.

After seeing that, it's kind of disappointing that he looked so normal in Voyager.

Wow, that looks freakishly like Jack Quaid. Reminds me of this resemblance:

collapsed inline mediaThe Cerritos's viewscreen shows pictures of Ensign Phil Wallace and Lietenant Junior Grade Bradward Bomiler side-by-side. Rutherfod comments, "You have like, they same face face, you're identical." Boiler then proceeds to scream.

Fair. I enjoy it as a character study of an asshole who believes he's doing humanity a favor. Not to mention, J.K. Simmons is a great character and voice actor. He's the Yellow M&M, after all.

JK Simmons is awesome. I hate the story.
