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'

Fun will now commence.

Thank you for including a gif. I thought I was looking at one of those cropped porn scenes
One of the only times I've seen Eric caught unaware and completely off guard.
toys-r-me skit was genuinely one of the first times I ever saw him unhinged. genuinely great skit.
Really swung for the fences in that bit.
It's so well written and acted for some random, absurd adult swim skit.
Absolutely one of my favourite clips to go back to.
Brilliant in its psychosis.
Legit thought I was on an acid trip the first I saw this, and that was knowing to expect the unexpected with this show
Your desk is broke.
Damn, I didn’t even realize Thordak had a different voice. I’m glad they had LeVar fill in
Only once he's zombified and has the overlapping voice, but yeah.
Wow man I guess I need to know more about a select few people (I try to avoid knowing too much, I dont want parasocials)
Unless someone very nice wants to infodump at me about it which would be strongly preferable and something lemmy might supply if I ask very very nicely, which everyone else also probably wants to know..
Please lemmy daddy, please give me context ☺️🥰
Well, "context" for the image itself can be viewed here. But bear in mind, Eric Andre is weird and awkward for the sake of weird and awkward.
So none of this was levar burton? I’m faceblind in like the best of circumstances, so idk, thats why I was asking for infodump context and not videos or something specifically. 😊
Ah, gotcha. That's Lance Reddick, known for The Wire, Fringe, and the John Wick series. An esteemed actor in his own right, pretending that he hadn't made it quite like Geordi actor LeVar Burton. That look he's donning is a combo of Geordi la Forge from Star Trek TNG and Kunta Kinte of Roots, arguably LeVar's 2 most prominent roles.
That tracks, it didn't sound like burton but I havent seen those other things so I dont have a sound profile for that individual, I guess.
It's ok, Levar Burton came out later to say he wants to be Lance Reddick.
I was so unprepared for LeVar to show up and say the feeling is mutual, seasons later. That was an insane episode
