/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

I'm finishing up DS9 and about to start Voyager, so hopefully will have a few more of these as I watch through.

Without a hint of irony, the two actors on that show with the best range.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 53 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I think my favorite is Seven as The Doctor pretending to be Seven. Ryan absolutely nailed Picardo's mannerisms, speech patterns, and body language while adapting those to play her own character.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Yes, splendid episode. They also acted the hell out of Someone to Watch Over Me, though that one ends on a bit of a downer.

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That episode must have been so much fun to make

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

For sure. And if not fun, at least delicious:

Forget the title, but the other one where Ryan gets to flex her skills (and do a rare bit of comedy) is when she's infected by the sabotaged Borg ~~viniculum~~ ~~vinculum~~ plot device and one of the personalities is a Ferengi.

That one always brings me pleasure to hear her pronounce Melbourne correctly

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm gonna have to pay attention when that episode comes up. I didn't know there was a wrong way to pronounce Melbourne lol

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

MelBORRRRN is usually how most americans massacre it

While we're at it, it's also not can-berra. It's canbrah

Wow. Unexpected “thanks, Obama.”

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

I honestly feel bad for Robert Picardo. He must've had such horrible back pain from carrying that entire show by himself for 3 seasons.

He gets so excited he messes his chair, so they had to put a blanket over it.

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

After reading this comment I'm certain I'm in the bad timeline now

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

That’s how I felt after watching Star Trek Picard.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 4 points 1 week ago

I'm choosing to look at it like the chair is on yellow alert just in case.

Something is wrong with this image

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Like, "feels wrong" or isn't loading? I ask because the original source is flaky and I attached it through my instance's image cache/proxy.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

It feels wrong

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Robert Picardo wrote an episode of Voyager (I think the only other cast regular to write a TV episode was Majel Barrett) that featured himself as 2 characters. Sometimes if you want screen time you just make it yourself.

[–] Crumbgrabber@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Or it could have been the unceasing demand of enthralled adoring fans.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Lol when did it stop being a common marketing tactic?

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Touche, but I think it did scale back at least for a while in the mid to late 2000's didn't it?

I haven't seen a commercial since I cord-cut in 2009, so I may be a bit out of the loop when it comes to current advertising trends, haha. If I see an ad on any device in my network, I go to red alert until I patch the security breach that allowed the ad in.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Well now that you mention it, I've been ad free since like 2014, but it was def still rampant with the sexualization then lol

I'm the same way, I drop everything when an ad makes its way through my many layers of blocking lol, I don't even make exceptions for the spouse and kid's ftp games, they want to see that shit they can drop to cellular data LMAO

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

if you want to see a mustachio'd robert picardo as a foul-mouthed angry police lieutenant, go watch that movie dead heat. top 5 best worst movies ever.

he's also meg mucklebones in legend

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

From around Nov-Dec last year.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

after you watch dead heat, watch gunmen with christopher lambert and mario van peebles-- patrick stewart plays an evil foul-mouthed crime boss and dennis leary is his henchman

[–] Crumbgrabber@lemm.ee 9 points 1 week ago

Who the fuck downvoted this? The doctor is second in sex appeal only to my own.

[–] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 4 points 1 week ago

Ladies, his eyes are down here.
