/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.

Here's what that may have looked like as used in flashback from s5e12 "Violations"
There's also this picture:
Yup, often mistaken for a pre-pilot test shot. You can see the metal bit on his right temple.
He looks like he just got caught trying to hide a toad in the teacher's bag.
Given what I've heard about the TNG cast's behavior on set I'd be more surprised if he didn't at some point.
Should have given him a pony tail like pre HL1 Gordon Freeman
I'd blame that on the hairdresser. They didn't have to give him a fivehead.
BWAhahahahahah! Oh shit, I just choked on my coffee!
Thanks for the hearty laugh.. gonna hafta remember this one!
hafta?
"have to" - spelled in a New Englandah's accent. (Bostonian, north to Portland Maine, coastal)
More like this. Considering this is literally him for his final audition, with the wig.
Just added to the other same shot commented:
some serious chuck mcgill energy
HE DEFECATED THROUGH A VIEWPORT!
And he gets to be a captain?! What a sick joke.
Yeeeaaaahhh. No.
Gimme that beautiful smooth head anyday.
They say you can see God in his baldshine.
This, I do not doubt. ;)
