/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. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Unfortunately, at least for me, it was the second-worst Voyager episode after the one LD infuriatingly confirmed to be canon. You know which one. I'm not even going to say it.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 22 points 4 months ago (1 children)

So what does it take to cross your personal threshold of bad Voyager episodes?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 24 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I see what you did there. Get out of here faster than warp 10 before I get really mad.

[–] Asetru 6 points 4 months ago

Dude, we're not warp capable yet. I doubt they can move faster than a pregnant lizard.

Don't make me hurt you.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

I haven't even seen it, but I'm going to assume you mean salamander baby episode?

[–] criitz@reddthat.com 5 points 4 months ago (3 children)

For the uninitiated, can you explain?

Episode spoiler:

spoiler

The Voyager crew discover a new type of dilithium (warp core fuel) that can make space ships go faster than the generally accepted limit of warp 10. No one has ever gone faster than that, but it will get the crew home instantly, instead of the 70 year journey it's currently facing.

One crew member, Lt. Tom Paris tests it out in a shuttle craft, gets to see "everything everywhere all at once" but then upon return quickly becomes allergic to water and oxygen.

The Doctor realizes he is evolving into something other than human before he escapes sick bay and kidnaps Captain Janeway for another faster than warp 10 experience. They end up on a swampy planet, turned into giant salamanders and by the time the crew finds them they have already produced three offspring.

The babies escape capture and presumably go on to sire a race of Janeway/Paris salamander creatures on a distant planet in the Delta Quadrant. Janeway and Paris get turned back into humans and they don't try breaking warp 10 again. IDK why people don't like it.

Oh, right... That one

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You won't me say it. It's the word for the thing husbands are supposed to carry their bride over when they go home as a married couple for the first time.

I'm not going further than that.

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

The Brent Spiner TV series?

[–] Mannimarco@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

They're talking about "Threshold" regarded as one of the worst episodes in all of trek

[–] sxan@midwest.social 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm not up on all of the Voyager stuff; it was one of the ST offspring that never resonated with me.

LD is constantly referring to other series; there's a vast amount of data to have to skim to guess which you think is the worst; which episode was it that you have allergic reaction to?

I think prodigy confirms it as well
