/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.

Tell me you've got a creeper shuttle without telling me you've got a creeper shuttle.

Honestly I'd kinda love to see an MS3K episode of some old Trek

I think the best you'll get is Rifftrax doing Trek movies and Trek fan episodes. https://www.rifftrax.com/collection/star-trek

Were there any cheap knock offs of TOS attempted back in the day? I feel like there must have been but I'm sure if there had been I would have heard of them by now.

Closest I can come up with is the space satire Quark. It was created by Buck Henry, who co-wrote Get Smart. The biggest problem with doing a Trek rip-off was that back in the day, any special effects were incredibly expensive.

It's not very good. At least I don't think so. It's homophobic too.

Pretty sure TOS was intended to be both...

FYI, no idea what he's saying. Just grabbed it from a Firefly screenshot.

In my list, this was appearing directly under the post at the Iowa gay bar, and I wasn’t immediately sure which one I clicked on.
