/c/TenFoward: 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 was just thinking about how when this episode aired, it was only 20ish years after WW2 ended.

This was recent history to everyone, and they were already making social commentary about it here, as well as the episode where they go to the literal Nazi planet.

9/11 is further in the past for us than WW2 was for them.

You take that back! 9/11 was last month. I'm not old.

Fuck that I'm not going back to high school. You're old

You say that, but Star Trek Earth 2025 - 2050 didn't exactly go great, even if they managed to sort things out in the end. It took them at least a whole century to really clean up their act.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 6 points 5 days ago

Yeah, were due a third world war first.

Given how things have been going for most of the western world I wonder:

I KNEW this was the mirror universe. I'm making a break for it you guys.

How can he walk through it, yet break it with his fist? I call shenanigans!

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

There's no good explanation for it. Luckily Skeletor is evil

Holy shit, a Star Trek CCG card. That's a blast from the past.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

There's a revival group out there that keeps rules updated. I was very excited to use my old cards, except that they're all in the first series of expansion packs, and those are considered badly balanced and taken out of the game completely.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I last played at Dragon Con in 2019. I checked the gaming area in the years since then, but haven't seen that game available again since. 🙁

Almost all my cards are from the original release. Are those still considered playable?

[–] frezik@midwest.social 2 points 4 days ago

Afraid not. Decipher apparently had a second edition, and those are the only ones that are playable. My Future Enterprise is just cardboard.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago (1 children)

People, it is with great sadness I come to the conclusion that we are the mirror universe.

If Vulcans landed, we would absolutely board their ship and take everything we can.

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (4 children)

Kill them, board the ship, take everything we can, attempt to reverse engineer it, find tech that could make life instantly better for over 90% of the population to end world hunger and instantly cure countless diseases injuries and ailments...but instead they patent it and hold back 100 years of progress while some people get obscenely rich

Ugh, fine. Here's my pain amplifier.

This time, we'll make Spock's rebellion succeed
