/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

I don't understand the concept of 'shouted at me in Klingon,' as if there were another way to speak Klingon.

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 37 points 4 months ago

Department of Redundancy Department agrees with you

[–] Xtallll@lemmy.blahaj.zone 33 points 4 months ago (1 children)

There is also 'intimidating low growl at me in Klingon'.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Wouldn't that be more 'intimidating low growl at me like a Klingon' in this case?

Now I want to ask Marc Okrand if growling is part of the language.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It’s like sexy German, sure it may exist theoretically but no one has ever heard it

[–] Klaymore@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I watched the German dub of Frieren (I don't speak German) and Lügner had a pretty sexy voice imo.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Does Lügner have the Gowron bedroom eyes though?

All kidding aside I watched Dark recently and DAMN German cinema is making good stuff

[–] BlemboTheThird@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

If "shouted in Klingon" is redundant, then is "said in Klingon" an oxymoron?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

When there is only one volume level, I would claim "said" is all that applies.

THIS JUST HOW I TALK, AINT YOU NEVER SEEN ONE OF MY MOOOOOOVIES?!

A SHARK ATE ME! A FUCKIN SHARK ATE ME!

He whispered to me in Klingon really doesn't sound right.

No, you tell him "If you were not my father, and the leader of this house I would kill you where you stand!"

...then maybe later you wonder whether any of this stuff comes from old Samurai movies.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 23 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Hey, if Star Wars can steal from old Samurai movies, so can Star Trek.

Edit: Besides, Sulu fought one back in the 60s.

So how would you say that you're a disappointment to the empire in Klingon?

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago (2 children)

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Is it possible to be fluent in Klingon?

[–] Haaveilija@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

At least it is possible to start learning Klingon on Duolingo 🦉

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

There was a story of an international couple that didn't speak eachothers language, but they met at a convention and so they talked klingon to eachother. No idea how reliable the story is, could be pure lies.

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Picard and Dathon at El-Adrel, as they say in Tamarian.
