/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.

The 70's had their own weird shit:

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 50 points 8 months ago (2 children)

That wasn't an attempt at sexiness, that was an attempt at making a movie while doing all the drugs.

[–] ItsAFake@lemmus.org 25 points 8 months ago

The sexiness was just a very happy accident.

[–] kellyaster@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Lol Zardoz was ahead of its time!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 18 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Hey, I love Zardoz. I have an original Zardoz poster what was (until I recently swapped it for a The Human Duplicators poster) on my wall in a frame.

But seriously, it was a drug-fueled mess. John Boorman admitted as much:

Um, it was The '70s, and I was doing a lot of drugs. Frankly, even I'm not entirely sure what parts of the movie are about.

The insanity of Zardoz is exactly why I love it. Does it make sense? Not much. But I love a lot of movies that don't make much sense.

[–] kellyaster@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Lol it's not my style at all (I'm more a Barbarella cheese fan), but I do appreciate the spectacle it achieved, even if it looks outrageously silly today. It's definitely a product of its time. Seriously though, you could take the movie and all it's wild production stories, claim it was made in the 80s, and everybody would believe you. I'm not unconvinced Boorman wasn't a time traveler

[–] drivepiler@lemmy.world 48 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That, my friend, is a moose knuckle.

Ugh, I hate it when the nuts overlap the seam...

[–] Mostly_Gristle@lemmy.world 29 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The '80s were strange. But I remember watching this when it originally aired and the costumes in this episode were pretty extra even for the time.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 18 points 8 months ago

I agree actually. I just didn't think of a better title. I was 12 when that episode came out, meaning I was at the perfect age to drool over a sexy lady and even then I was like, "nah."

[–] antidote101@lemmy.world 25 points 8 months ago (1 children)

He's doing some great acting, that shit must be uncomfortable as fuck.

[–] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 18 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I promise that she is even more uncomfortable. That shit is digging deep

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It looks like both of them are being cut in two.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

King Solomon says cut them in two by their panties. I will eat the pie myself.

[–] Gork@lemm.ee 19 points 8 months ago (2 children)

His penis is facing to his right.

I don't know what to do with this information.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)
[–] Gork@lemm.ee 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ehh those outfits are doing nothing for me.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

The season one costumer failed again!

Also, how does a man get camel toe?

One of many reasons the 2380s will look back upon this post with disdain.

Edit: Okay, apparently I was far too subtle trying to point out that a man can be trans. Just me being woke SJW in TenForward I guess 🤷

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 22 points 8 months ago

If that's what we have to look forward to in the future, there is no way I'm becoming a country singer who gets cryogenically frozen on a spaceship for 300 years.

I like to imagine what went down in the casting office for this episode.

"Yeah, yeah. She's fine, lets show off that belly button to prove she had a mom. But him... Let's give the world an anatomy lesson with him." Then the rest of the room erupts into wolf-whistles and lewd comments.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I genuinely worry about the people who find either of those outfits titillating.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Yeah, not enough neon and mesh for what we found attractive in the 80s.

Maybe if they swapped...

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 12 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Man, it takes balls to wear that outfit.

Or insanity, you can clearly see the nuts

[–] teft@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

My chesticles are up here!

Keep your leering starman gaze away from my cameltoe.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 11 points 8 months ago (3 children)

My main issue with this is that the bottoms are too tight.

Far be it for me to judge an alien race's fashion, but that does not look comfortable.

The tops aren't particularly great either, though I like the "design" of the female version better than the one that guy is wearing.... "Like" is probably too strong of a term.

In every case, the first few seasons of TNG had it's problems. This episode was one of them. A society where the only punishment was death? What the actual fuck?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Picard's actions were terribly written too. He kidnapped a woman from the planet and brought her up to the ship with her god on it to confirm she worshiped it and it terrified her.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 6 points 8 months ago

Yeah. The whole episode was kind of off the wall in terms of sanity.

Not the worst episode they made, but it was up there.

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 11 points 8 months ago

Sci-Fi loves taking real world things to extremes. In the US cattle rustling (stealing) was punishable by hanging for a very long time.

[–] Steve@startrek.website 7 points 8 months ago

Good news, when they aren’t being executed they are free to jog and fuck all day long

[–] lath@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

Should have gone the Benny Hill way and have the planet go nude while covered by the environment in the shots.

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 8 months ago

Idk, I’m kinda into it.

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago (4 children)

It was really pushing the limits at the time.

They are aliens. Maybe their plumbing is different.

[–] eran_morad@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Nice tits bro

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 8 months ago

Fucking season 1 man.

Meanwhile, as the aliens slowly and painfully saw themselves in half vertically from the crotch up, Q looks on from the softness of knit.

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

He looks quite a bit like a young Martin Short, if you look up for a moment.

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Dude's probably on a list after wearing that shit on TV

Can we blame Rick Berman for this one?
