/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.

~~The urge to fact-check this is so strong, even though I know it to be inherently false. I want to believe~~

Holy. Shit... this is going to take a sec to sink in. I'm in awe of what I have learned here today. Thank you

Which part, the D-Day part or the Space Navy part?

[–] MrShankles@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

I've seen his Spacy Navy docuseries ~~before~~, ~~a few times~~, a bunch (which was badass already), but I had no idea he was in D-day, taking out snipers and getting shot like it was out of some "Saving Private Ryan" shit... and he was a skilled pilot‽ Blew my mind today

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

He really was. In fact, he lost a finger on D-Day and you can occasionally see it in various episodes, but he tried to keep it hidden most of the time.

I will now being looking for it every time I re-watch an episode

I'm sure there's some sort of YouTube supercut or something.

I saw him at a con in the late 80s.

By way of concession, when responding not so enthusiastically to questions from the audience about the shenanigans Shatner and Nimoy got up to in order to blow off steam during long shooting days, Doohan said that since he’d been in real combat in WW2, he had a different approach to work and not a lot in common with them.
