How Scotty likes to greet Nurse Chapel:

The weirdest part is that Nurse Chapel, Lwaxana Troi and the Enterprise-D computer all sound like a less robotic version of the 1701 computer!

[-] Limonene@lemmy.world 25 points 6 months ago

My headcanon is that Number One is the in-universe voice actor for ship computers in Starfleet. Once they made the computer model of her voice, it remained in use all the way to the TNG era.

I doubt Lwaxana Troi would have been interested in sitting still for a hundred hours of voice recording.

I don't know, would they make an augmented human, even one with special dispensation to be in Starfleet, the official computer voice?

At some point her face starts showing up on recruitment posters, so maybe? On the other hand, we only saw a poster like that 100 years after her time, so maybe not.

Alternatively, she leant her voice specifically to the Enterprise computer, as seen in TOS. Then years later, when it was decided to standardize voices across the fleet, they just went with what was used on the Enterprise. Because the Enterprise always seems to be the favourite of the fleet.

They wouldn't need hundreds of hours of voice recordings to replicate somebody's voice in the 24th century. We don't even really need that today.

Not even one hour. Not even one minute. Seconds.

I did not realize Han Solo made an appearance in Star Trek.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 11 points 6 months ago

He shot first ..... into the transport buffer

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Yeah there's a whole episode about him where he helps two young lovers.

[-] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 4 points 6 months ago

Are they siblings?

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

I know, right? That would be outrageous.

Pike, rolling around the Enterprise

[I can hear Una's voice... am I finally dead?]

Pike, rolling around the Enterprise

They should have let him remain captain for a while.

Course set, sir.

*Beep*

Aye, captain, warp factor four.

*Beep*

Shields up, sir.

/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.
