/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.

Oh. Right. Like everyone here isn't hauling ass to the holodeck first thing to bang Troi.
Well, okay - some of you may not but. Still. You can't fault Barclay for that.
Speak for yourself, I'd be hauling ass to have some angry Klingon ladies stepping on my balls with their equivalent of high heels
Fair enough - you know your boy Barclay has something for that.
If he doesn't Quark definitely does
Beverly Crusher for me.
While in contrast, you are dead to her. Do you hear me, dead!?
Or at least, you hope... :-P
Also good!
Barclay represents us in our modern era.
If we all had access to holodecks, 80% of it's usage would be directed for porn.
The rest would be dedicated to conversing in long winded sourhernisms with Mark Twain on a stream boat on the Mississippi
The main alternate universe is just full of sex addicts and porn with endless access to the Sexamotron
The Terran Sexpire.
Arrives in the Terran Sexpire ..... slips and slides on all the liquid and fluids everywhere
I do declare!
No way!
Definitely it would be closer to 90%, if the internet is any indicator.:-)
If I wasn't bound for hell before, I sure am now!
I know they got old for the audience, but at least holodeck episodes let the actors do something different once in a while.
The last season or two of VOY is "guess which cast member can sing?" and it got real old real fast. Also it was usually Jeri.
I like the holodeck episodes where they explore some kooky story idea and it’s not just lazy “safeties are disabled and we can’t shut it off”.
That's why I liked the casino heist Vic Fontaine one. They all acknowledged that they could simply reset the Vic Fontaine program if they couldn't be arsed with the 'easter egg' (for lack of a better word) that Felix left there, and it would be completely fine.
But they simply didn't want to. There was no danger at any point.
Yes I know I could reinstall but I’d lose all my saves!
Badda Bing Badda Bang is the best holodeck episode and a DS9 top-ten, and its central conceit has made it more relevant than ever, now there's a common recognition of the value and significance we derive from virtual worlds, and our habit of anthropomorphizing LLMs.
Vic would be erased.
Which isn't a big deal, he's a holodeck character that they said wasn't sentient, just very well-made.
Time to rewatch Bride of Chaotica
Appreciate that Lower Decks doesn't shy away from how people would really use the holodeck 😏🐈
