Is this "jumping the shark" or "knowing your audience?"

/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.

Good question. Let's have a lingerie boxing match episode between dax and 7 of 9 to find out.
Isn't there some betazed tradition that could be hamfisted in to make them fully nude, all in the name of authenticity of course? Majel walked so they could ru~~b~~n
Oh fuck yeah Tsunkatse 2!
I DEMAND EQUAL REPRESENTATION
Throw some dudes in the lanes too.
Garak and Bashir mudwrestling?
Seven could do it naked and win, because she doesn't give a fuck. Q2 got bored of her in 5 seconds because she was completely unfazed.
Tasha Yar's Ultimate Mud Wrestling
I'm thinking the latter.
I still think about the episode where T'pol goes through pon farr...
I'll be in my bunk
Me viewing this image from left to right:
Niiiice...
Ohhh, even better...
Ok, ok... I like where this is going...
Uhh? Ruh roh raggy!
Can't be knowing your audience, we never got to see Worf in that swimsuit
“Well. As long as it’s women we’ll allow it”
& in the same vein, a quote from famous transphobe Dave Chapelle : “I think gay sex is gross. Unless it’s lesbians”
Pretty much the gay couple was originally supposed to be Bashir and Garak, but they were worried that anything involving penises is too gay for people in the 90's.
Cardassians are lizard people, can we confirm they don't have cloacas?
I don't know whether to upvote or downvote this (j/k I almost never downvote but just go with the bit okay?), so here is a Reddit gif that somehow represents both:
Your embed doesn't work for me.
Seems like it's because you used http instead of https:
Oh wow, it works fine for me on PieFed.
Edit: also it works in Chrome but not Firefox Android, so it seems related to the method of access. Anyway thanks for bringing it to my attention!:-)
I see both gifs fine from the connect app
Not from Voyager on Android. But we have already concluded that it depends on what you use.
Not only that, but viewing it from Discuss.Online also somehow works, even from Firefox on Android? Perhaps some kind of proxy process, or maybe even a timing issue like if their http (rather than https) connection did not work at some point, but then later did? Technology is weird - and fun! :-D
I think we veered too far off from Jadzia doing sensual phallic pottery and should refocus.
All I can think of is how poorly she was mistreated behind the scenes of the show - it really sucks to "know things", why can't I just go back to enjoying life without needing to retain knowledge in my noggin?
I sense a long response, but how and why was she being mistreated? I'm just mad they had to write Jadzia off and replace her with that pixie-looking girl (Ezri). Jadzia and Worf dynamics were the best.
I don't recall all the details, just that it was shitty and led to her leaving rather than put up with it anymore, which is what caused Ezri to need to come in.
She’s high as shit so she’s holding upside down, that’s all.
That must be it bc the color is all off...
Also part of the joke is that any image from Reddit is somehow tainted and therefore a bit like a downvote in itself to have shared it? I dunno, maybe I need to be high(er) to understand that one better... 🤣
The orangered votes are up on Reddit, but down on Lemmy, so it’s both.
Oh, then it really was closer to the mark than I realized! 🤣
And the blazin’ bev trend means she’s definitely more stoned and all of this will make more sense with each rip of the bong.
Somehow still less horny than TOS.
I think that empathy through horniness is still technically progress.
Edit: I have this ugly feeling that I just wrote the thesis statement for my entire stance on Star Trek...
empathy through horniness is still technically progress.
Can I make this into a bumper sticker for my car?
Network Suits: ... OK fine .. you can have your Dax sexy time stuff with Vanessa Williams on swimsuit planet ..... but you'll have to cut out all the Quark holosuite suggestive pornography episodes with Vulcan sex slaves, Klingon women in bikinis, Orion sex dancers and Bajoran orgies.
Even the pudding planet episode?
Especially the pudding planet episode.
Pfft. fine. More starship battles then.
Wolfe: For this scene? Sure!
DS9 was wild
DS9 was glorious
DS9 was religious
Shut up. You had me at Vanessa Williams
They really wanted to use this scene in the episode where Crusher is fucking a ghost, but the legal department wouldn't let them.
Hey you wanna get ghost-sued? Go right ahead.
Also Worf is a terrorist
For what? Piloting while being Klingon?
Not just that, he also piloted, and even captained, by being under the influence of Klingon!
"Uh-oh, the ratings just slumped - time to get T'Pol naked again."
[yes I know it's a different series]
