/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.

Wrong city, but right state, and only a few months late
I've been telling a friend about this. He doesn't watch Star Trek but when we're looking at what batshit crazy thing happened each week I keep tossing in... "right on track for The Bell Riots".
Just attribute the minor differences to the temporal cold war π
Part of me hates that this is happening.
The rest of me is all, βItβs still 2025!! If we have the Bell Riots now weβre still on-pace for a Star Trek future!!β

I hope we survive WW3 and the eugenics war.
Me too, I hope my child survives the seemingly inevitable wars that are looming within his lifetime.
But more importantly, I think Humanity will survive. This is a test, one that evolution makes impossible to avoid. If we survive this trial by fire, we will scatter and thrive amongst the stars and prepare for the next test.
Am I being too dreamy? Itβs all Star Trekβs fault. :)
Or we will scatter amongst the earth and spend the next several centuries trying not to die of radiation poisoning.
Don't forget Ireland's reunification.
Riots in N. Ireland right now (though it's anti-immigration riots, so probably won't lead to unification):

One thing always leads to another.
As a descendant of the Irish, I completely believe that a totally unrelated argument could snowball into Irish Reunification.

Guinness sucks! (not really but you know...)

The Bell Riots were in September 2024.
Our universe's lack of Eugenics Wars in the 90s was already pretty strong evidence that we're not living in the prime timeline.
Unless we go for the SNW retcon/Temporal Cold War shenanigans, in which case we still have a chance.
Oh we are getting a Star Trek Futureβthe mirror universe one.
It'll end up being a dumb cracked mirror universe at this rate.
Not even. We're getting the black mirror Trek timeline.
Shitty Picard season 2 we want to do mirror universe but not.
I'd rather not given what comes between. Can we instead get the future of the civilization in Strange New World's pilot episode? They got the advantage of learning from the mistakes Earth made before they did the same and leapfrogged into the better stuff.
Go on memory-alpha and look up what's scheduled to happen in 2026.
No need, I read the news. :/
Yep. grue is definitely referencing this:
Can't wait to see how Bokai is hitting this year.
Well, that timeline has already been derailed.
Wow, they expected genetic engineering to move way faster.
Now I'm not finding that youtube video about a guy not being mugged because the sci-fy story of the mugger happens too early and he can't believe in it...
Not really. Honestly, the "sanctuary cities" were humane compared to what the Trump Administrating is trying to do.
And now he's wanting to put on a massive military parade, something only the Terrans (and other dictatorship/fascist regimes) would do
I bet I could put on an awesome democratic military parade. Give awards to whichever group built the best float around their tank. March the color guard intermingled with the local high school color guard. Have the infantry throw candy to the crowd. Let the marching band rock out.
But I agree that, in general, military parades are not a good look.
I don't like candy coating what a military is.
It's a nation's group of killers that should only be seen in case of a dire emergency, when killing tons of people is somehow the lesser evil in a given scenario.
Asking them to toss beads and rock out is a waste of resources at best, propaganda at worst.
Aaahhww, We're in the evil mirror timeline, aren't we?
