Peter Falk as Constable Ombo

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 27 points 3 months ago

As you wish.

[-] negativenull@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

One more thing... this is excellent!

There is no way Kurt Russel was ever a teenager

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

Don't worry. By season 2 they'll age him up, "lose the eye", and call himself Snake. It did wonders for ratings.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

IT'S O'NEIL. WITH ONE L.

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

There’s an O’Neill with two Ls, but he never takes anything seriously.

Iroquois plissken, lieutenant Junior grade

Jungle boy Russel was a 60's tv staple.

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

Kurt Russel was a child star under contract with Disney. His name was Walt Disney's last words.

That image looks fuzzy .... I've been adjusting my TV antennas for the past half hour, used tin foil and attached a couple of metal coat hangers but can't seem to get a clear image ..... I also tried adjusting the TV knob to balance between channels 11/12 but still no good ... but if I turn on the microwave and have someone stand in the hallway facing east, it works great, but they can't see the TV ... oh well.

.... ah crap ... typing this message just made me lose the entire signal!!!!

[-] negativenull@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Get your brother to hold the antennas while standing behind the TV. That way YOU can hopefully still watch.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 months ago

"Yes, yes, yes! ... you got it! .... now just stand there! .... and don't move! .... for half an hour! ..... awww!! ... you moved!"

It was a never ending struggle to either direct the antenna person or be the antenna person.

Unless someone calls the house land line.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 months ago

Beautiful .... it even shows that God awful brown beige floral pattern wood accented living room furniture. Only thing missing is the wood paneling.

[-] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

That couch and stereo... 🥲

Elizabeth Montgomery as Nurse Coven
Agnes Moorehead as Lwaxana's mother

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

[-] negativenull@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Superb!!

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago

Darrin could be the Transporter Chief

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

He comes already pre-suffering!

Edit: My mixed GenX/Millenial/Trek age is showing. I assumed James Darren rather than Darren Stevens. Mea culpa. But fret not, for he is now Grand Nagus York!

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Lwaxana Troi and Endora have the exact same energy.

(And Picard turns into Darren Stevens every time Lwaxana is onboard.)

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Oh, now my relative "youth" is showing. When IninewCrow mentioned Darren, I assumed Vic. I must correct an error. Many thanks.

[-] qanuta@lemm.ee 8 points 3 months ago

Maybe Marlin Perkins as Omaha Command

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Engineering: Admiral, we’ve lost the anti-matter phase couplings

Admiral: You big dummy!

(Laugh track)

[-] OlinOfTheHillPeople@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Needs more Lenny and Squiggy.

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

[-] OlinOfTheHillPeople@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Amazing!

[-] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

Happy cake day! Outta Sight: The Next Funkification is the TV movie that was sold to the network as a Christmas special. OS:TNF tied up some loose ends, but left fans wanting more.

[-] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

I see Captain M. as a smooth talking diplomat/glad hander, but Lt. Foxy and Yeoman Nanu do all the paperwork and reject leola shipments from Starfleet Bureau of Supply. Commander Zuko is blitzed all the time on something, but great at navigation/Astrometrics if you leave him alone.

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 months ago

This just made me realize Tim Curry has never been on Star Trek. We have been wronged, and the situation must be remedied immediately before it is too late.

[-] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

Commander Lahng J'han Solvarre

[-] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

Wilford Brimley as Dahar Master Cuae’Kur!!!! Great bird, I just got it after 22 re readings. This brain, she still functions.

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

You still got there. Counts for something.

Almost went with Dahar Master D'Bitus.

[-] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

Haha I can't choose. Both are 10/10

/c/TenFoward: 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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.
