/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.

That Star Wars one is not even as 90s as the Hackers movie poster.

Please tag this as a spoiler, I've never seen the doctor be so sexy before.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 14 points 2 days ago

Tom Paris looking like he's about to beat the absolute fuck outta that printer for giving him a PC load letter error.

[–] KokusnussRitter@discuss.tchncs.de 54 points 2 days ago (1 children)

God I love this, from the weirdness of carrying a printer while smiling - nobody ever smiles in vicinity of a printer - and the SW cast looking like a family photo.

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

He’s definitely stealing that printer on his way out the door.

He'll transport it in his 1920ies red pickup truck

[–] teft@piefed.social 55 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Fucking Nick Locarno. You let that fucking guy out of prison to attend one holophoto shoot and what does he do? Fucking steal shit. Can't take that guy anywhere.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 28 points 2 days ago (2 children)

A more modern looking vintage pic

The differences in fashion trends between when Voyager premiered (beginning of 1995) and when Seven was introduced (end of 1997) is pretty wild.

The early 1990s and the late 1990s feel like two different decades.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 4 points 2 days ago

Yeah, my personal headcanon is a bit like that too, or in a sense, the 10 (to 15) years before 1995, while very different, somehow feel more related to each other in a fashion sense, and the 10 (to 15) years after 1995 too (again, visually still fairly different, but like the common themes).

1985~1995~2005 feels like a better grouping vs 1980~1990~2000.

Looks like Roxanne is doing the captain morgan power stance at first glance.

Voyager’s Native American cultural advisor’s last act was to pick that sweater for Beltran.

[–] SatyrSack@quokk.au 34 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Did Ethan Phillips have a contract requiring that his face always be obscured in this shoot?

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I vaguely remember those days .... $2,000 for a 200Mhz CPU, 16MB RAM and a 2Gig hard drive!!!!!!

That system is not even anywhere close to the most basic dirt cheap smart phone you could buy today for $100

I remember my first full system I bought in 1999 was $1,500 CAD and it was just slightly faster than 200Mhz CPU ... and I was proud to have found a great deal on a 4Gig HDD

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

... in 1998 I got a Celeron 300A (300MHz) & overclocked it to like ~~460~~ 450 MHz and it was faster than Pentiums for years. I can't remember, but prob 32MB of RAM.
And ofc my beloved Voodoo 2 (12MB), later in SLI config.

This wasn't a pre-built so it was cheaper & way faster than prebuilts at the time.

Garrett Wang wins that contest alone, with those glasses and the gelled hair.

[–] quediuspayu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

And whatever that shirt is made of.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 1 points 1 day ago

I reckon polyester-cotton mix. I had shirts like that for clubbing and they were hell on the nipples.

He stole that outfit from the set of The Matrix

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Harry kim alone wins everything

[–] grue@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

I want to see Garrett Wang cosplay as himself from this article at Dragon Con in 2027.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Casual BDSM with a router. XD

[–] grue@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That is clearly Kodak's new Snapshot Photo Scanner. And WTF is a "router?" It's 1997; everybody plugs phone lines straight into the backs of their PCs!

Torres casually eating a mouse.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

She's clearly speaking to the computer.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

That's the other Torres

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 18 points 2 days ago

Oof, I remember reading that exact Parade in 1997.

It was cringe then. It's possibly slightly less cringe now because of the time capsule 90's-ness.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I can't recognize what character is in the lime green?

[–] Soulcreator@programming.dev 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's Jennifer Lien, aka Kes only without her atrocious short wig.

[–] deltapi@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

That woman had a hard downward spiral. I hope she's found some peace and happiness.

[–] Fridayj@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why is Ethan Phillips positioned like he doesn’t want to be in the shots? All the way in the back in one, then the back of his head, then behind a bar/pole?

[–] FrChazzz@lemmus.org 12 points 2 days ago

For a split second I legit thought George Costanza had snuck onto the shoot lol

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

Kes did not want to be there

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Harry couldn’t even be trusted to hold electronics. Have some magnetic tapes, ensign.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

First of all LOL, but also those were CD-ROMs.

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

It wouldn't be a big deal, except that they were very proud of their CD-ROMs back in '97.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Thr prequels only win at Suck.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Paris looks like he just got caught stealing a printer, while neelix is a little too comfortable using that camera if you get what I mean...not to mention that kes is only 8... 😒

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 days ago

HP DeskJet printers. Those things were everywhere
