/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.

What? They have several. Several GOOD ones! Check Your Head! Ill Communication! I don't get it...

Back in 86 (release of the 4th movie) they only had one album.

[–] nednobbins@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

It came out a month before that scene takes place (November vs December 18). It's unlikely Dr Taylor would have heard of them yet.

That album wasn't their debut, they had singles and were touring prior to this including opening for Madonna. That album also had a million sales in around 12 week. I don't think t's that implausible.

This is from Star Trek 4. The dude with the headband and the dude who looks like the guy from Boston Legal are playing time travelers from the future.

The joke is that they have heard the later albums, because they are from the future, but the woman thinks they're LARPing because they don't know how many albums they have released.

Paul's Boutique, License to Ill, Illcommunication. All good/great albums.
