/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.

Video posts don't typically do super well on Lemmy but this one deserves attention. Just watch it. You'll understand why.

Sidenote but the body double of Kirk is the same guy who is the voice over artist for Maul and Palpatine in the animated Star Wars stuff. Sam Witwer. Also known as Starkiller. You can really recognize him in a couple of the facial expressions during this video.

It is Shatner. He's credited as Kirk, along with the body double. He definitely has tons of cgi make up on, but it's him.

I think he's credited as Kirk because of the VO.

Edit: I was essentially correct- https://home.otoy.com/unification/

Good find!
Yeah it looks like the body double did the actual acting. There's set pictures with him, and im not seeing any with Shatner.

Still, pretty damn cool imo
