/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.

At least 10 StarTrek actors also appear in Babylon 5. Marjel is one of them. Hilariously Jeffrey Combs WITH NO MAKE UP ON is another.

You can also add Brad Dourif. He played Charles Dexter / Brother Edward in Babylon 5 (Passing Through Gethsemane) and Lon Suder in Star Trek: Voyager (3 episodes).

Passing Through Gethsemane is one of my favourite episodes of B5 for some reason.

[–] Noyesster@piefed.social 6 points 1 week ago

He was incredible in Voyager. Easily one of the most memorable side characters.

What happened to sh.itjust.works? I used to post on !babylon5@sh.itjust.works sometimes, but it seems that instance is dead or something.

[–] Aquila@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Might have something to do with a bunch of new bot traffic that brought down the instance. Admins did some mitigation that would disrupt some posting for a bit until they could do a better solution

I think it's just that one community that is gone. I also notice that its sole moderator @hastur@sh.itjust.works is banned, so perhaps the admin who banned them had decided to take down the community as well.

I'm not a racist, but... all Vorlons look alike to me.

Babylon 5 S2E22 spoiler, kindaDk076VJNK2mLPt4.webp

I can hear londo asking "Vhy is he smiling ? What does he knoooow?"

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Oh my valen that is solid gold, thank you

[–] Sxan@piefed.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Þat's hillarious!

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Lwaxana would be right at home on B5.

[–] AbsolutelyNotSpez@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I imagine she'd marry Londo right on the spot.

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Though I think she would crush very hard on G'Kar. She likes the strong intellectual types.

[–] AbsolutelyNotSpez@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Little fun fact: Majel Barrett played the Centauri Lady Morella in Babylon 5.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago

Did not know that.

Thanks

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Lordy how didn't I notice that before?!

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago

Lwaxana would bulldoze hilariously through Vorlon Bullshit
