/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.

Patrick Stewart definitely looked older than he was, what with the gray hair and significant baldness. It worked for him for sure, though
I mean... I don't know, he was in his late 40, kinda looked like he was in his late 40s.
I think the part that trips people up is that, like many people who go bald young, he kinda just looked the same for a long time. Plus he got surprisingly fit in his 50s, which helped. So you remember him looking in his late 40s, or at least looking just like he did in TNG, by the time he showed up in X-Men, when he was 60.
Back then people kinda owned it. Nowadays they just get a shit ton of work done on their face and dye the hell out of their hair. People in their 50s trying to pass for characters in their 30s.
Nah people still put shit tons of product in their hair back in the day. Spray on hair was particularly popular for a really long time. There were stories in the 80s of peoples hair just lighting up under hot lamps and shit cause too much stuff in it.
it didn't just happen to mike
So you're saying that if 14 year old Wesley would have shaved his head, he would have looked older and wiser?
That if we all shaved our heads we would look older and wiser?
Where are my shears?
I'm definitely not saying this. Patrick Stewart had a unique set of features for sure. Bald Wesley would look like a bald 15 year old
