/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.

I wanna punch Q.

It'll be just me and Sisko in an extremely cool club.

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I'm shocked that Picard never did that.

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Picard didn't have to, he could beat him in a debate.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 4 days ago

Bah, Picard. He's always quoting shakespeare and going on about wine

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Worf: Why did you do that to Commander Riker?

Data: I wanted to destroy something beautiful.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 days ago

Q. I don't have a chance of winning against pretty much anyone, so might as well get it over with quickly.

[–] teft@piefed.social 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'd fight Khan. That way I would be able to come up with some amazing excuses after my inevitable loss.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

He'd probably rattle off some cool quotes while beating you too, which is a plus if you're not too concussed to remember them later.

[–] teft@piefed.social 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

My plan is to quickly go limp. That way when he inevitably throws me through a duritanium door it doesn’t pop my meat bag. So a concussion is definitely in my future.

My plan is to quickly go limp.

Solid strategy. It's your only defense.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 11 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Pike, after the accident. And there's still only a 50% chance I won't end up beaten to a pulp.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 4 days ago

He's gonna do wheelies on your face like stephen hawking

[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Mirror universe Ezri Dax. She can beat me up anytime.

Yes, I have problems.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Garak.

But it's a pillow fight and we're in see-through teddies. :3

[–] SatyrSack@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 6 days ago

If you could fight any Trek character, who would it be?

Ezri. I don't particularly want to fight anybody, but a fight between the two of us would probably be amusing for all spectators. Neither of us has any clear advantage.

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (3 children)

I'd fight the navigation dolphins

[–] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 9 points 6 days ago

In or out of the navigation pools?

[–] teft@piefed.social 8 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Cetacean ops isn't necessarily dolphins. In fact I don't think we ever see dolphins in star trek cetacean ops. Just blue whales and beluga whales.

[–] Repelle@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

We don’t see dolphins afaik, but in tng they do reference there being dolphins specifically with the one door labeled “Tursiops Crew Facility“

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Star Trek Prodigy S2 E1 mentions dolphins in cetacean ops, I don't know if they show them though (I just started watching)

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 5 points 6 days ago

Mano y flipper.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

Nelix.

I want to beat the fuck out of that annoying little shit.

If not him, Kai Winn.

[–] notso@feddit.org 2 points 4 days ago

Saru. Big reach. Skinny guys fight till they're burger.

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

As long as there isn't bad blood between us I'd fight weird al

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago
[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago

For serious, the Jem'Hadar from the DS9 episode Siege of AR558. That was literally a solved problem. The solution was called "the machine gun".

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

does that bother people?

like are you only allowed to be happy if only you have the best penis your partner has ever seen?

plus, you can also play with them.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Some people are squeemish or uptight or have a fragile ego about it. They can have their dull sex lives if that's what they want.

I'd say fuck them.

but only metaphorically.

half the goal is to provide pleasure, not affirm delusions.

[–] jawa21@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 5 days ago

I'd fight the Melkot. Decapitation for an easy victory.

[–] deltapi@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Depends. If this is a situation where I've got to win or something bad happens to me or my family, I'll beat down season 7 Naomi Wildman.

If it's just for funsies, TNG-era Bruce Maddox
