/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.

If anyone doesn't know the scene where they put the Simpsons into witness protection, they need to fox that asap.

The whole episode.

That poor kid would have better off on that planet where they kidnapped kids to raise after poisoning themselves with their own power plant radiation.

He would have been better off if they left him on Tasha's lord of the flies planet. Worf was not a good parent.

No, not the planet of hauntingly cheekbony women...and drugs?

Alexander was a mistake… by the writers. When writing a syndicated TV show, remember to use protection. (And happy fedicake day, TPM!)

Is that… cellular peptide cake?

We can always get another ship counselor.

When I was 12 or so, this episode was the funniest thing I had ever seen.

For what it's worth, I have never watched an episode of that show, but I felt like I understood what was going on here just fine 👍

Good, lol. I wasn't sure whether it made more sense to post this one in TenForward or the Simpsons community because it felt so niche.

[–] limelight79@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

There's a group on Facebook called Treksons where people post Star Trek/Simpsons mashups like this. Futurama sometimes sneaks in, too. It's really hilarious, and I highly recommend it if you're on Facebook and like both shows.

That is so specifically up my alley, but unfortunately I haven't been on Facebook in ages. Maybe I'll see the ones that break containment.
