/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.

Star Trek has had Nick Locarno disappear and get replaced by his less-evil multiverse twin Tom Paris as the lead for a show. Jeffrey Combs was practically always covered in face paint or prosthetics, but R. D. McNeil was just straight up sitting there in his normal face.
I don't think "Paramount didn't want to write the TNG writers to get paid for every Voyager episode" is a great in-universe explanation, but the solution was to simply don't explain it at all. Probably the same way Marvel is going to deal with it, maybe lampshade it a little here and there but never do an official explanation.
This made me realize I kind of want to see Lower Decks to a Jeffrey Combs episode. Just throw every character he ever played in there in a holodeck for plot reason and go full Nutty Professor for a bit.
Badgey’s combs
Cold open to badgey in a study, sipping at a miniature warp core as he reads quietly.
Eventually, badgey will announce he has a story for us, he was combing through some old memory files and found an interesting rhyme in the stories - so he compiled them together to see what would happen.
Badgey clears his throat dramatically, and lets out a shrill dial-up sound as the screen fades over to the tale of the combs - compiled entirely of our favorite multi-faced man and one new Combs character because badgey is a dick.
Or not, I’m just stoned and insomniac, disregard me if you’d like.
Badgey was actually voiced by Jack McBrayer. Combs did voice Agimus though.
Oh I know combs isn’t our mystical nonsensical existential nightmare, I was just using him as a story point to make the episode not completely out of nowhere because he’s basically Q
