/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. 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.

I don't mind the memes, content is content after all. However, this one got me laughing

Per Starfleet regulation 80085FUQ-CRSHR-023, an interactive, slappable version of Ensign Crusher is to be placed in every public starship venue:

Your post is now in compliance with Starfleet regulations. Thank you and have a nice day.

I’m not one to question Starfleet regs, but he did get substantially cooler in Prodigy. I think it’s just Ensign Crusher who’s annoying

[–] SatyrSack@feddit.org 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

He was annoying in Picard and Eureka.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

Fair point, he would have probably been an ‘accidental’ death on the way to Titan after one too many smarmy remarks to Holly

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Forgot about Eureka. Well, that's on the rewatch list.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Don’t forget Warehouse 13, wish they would have crossed over more

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I like to pretend that the evil Will Crusher exists, like the facial hair and everything, in Dark Matter

IDFK I'll fight about this

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 4 points 22 hours ago

Evil Wesley Crusher would have to have a beard and... oh, oh no no no...

I'm kinda done with the meme. It's gone on longer than the B-word.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You mean we could have bean stuck in different meme loops a dozen times?

[–] sxan@midwest.social 6 points 1 day ago

I think it's just one loop after another. And they always go on too long. The Blazin' Bev meme was only murdered by the time loop meme.

Just IMHO. If I were more clever, I think I could break each cycle with a new meme; I'm beginning to think it's the only way.

If it passes I’m okay, it’s been a good run with a lot of OC

If people want to keep adding to it, that’s okay too, but we’ve dredged through much of the low hanging fruit and are at risk of blarogs.

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 day ago

This is kinda how memery (in the traditional sense) works. Repeat, iterate, modify. Not every idea is born a superstar. The process generates a lot of meh, but the occasional breakthrough makes it all worth it. And this run had a LOT of great adaptations/crossovers.

Not the crux of the video, but this piece by CGP Grey does a good job of summarizing the process.

[–] sxan@midwest.social 1 points 23 hours ago

Oooh, snap. That's a keeper.

I'm not saying it lest it return, but it was Lemmy-wide.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That gives me an idea. Not the bat'leth thing, but the other part.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 2 points 22 hours ago

It was superseded by jeans... riding on Taylor Swift's jet. Uh oh, I just gave away your idea to everyone, didn't I? 💡🤪
