/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.

Top: Captain Picard and Kamala in The Perfect Mate
Bottom: Professor X and Jean Grey in X-Men: The Last Stand
Had no idea Patrick Stewart and Famke Janssen had collaborated prior to X-Men.
That episode includes one of my favorite Worf moments.
(Growwwwwl)
Michael Dorn’s sense of humor was vastly underappreciated for the majority of his career in Star Trek, ngl.
Her makeup would also get repurposed into the Trill makeup. Kamala is a Kriosian; the powers that be didn’t like the original Trill rubber forehead from “The Host” on Terry Farrell, so they switched to Famke Janssen’s look from this episode and hoped no one would call them on it.
As if a bunch of us geeks wouldn't notice.
Edit: the test shot in question
To be fair, there wasn’t an Internet back in the day, nor were there high-fidelity DVDs and/or streaming that people would rewatch thousands of times.
Just people frantically scribbling notes of every detail they notice so they can tell all their friends about it at the next OFFICIAL star trek club meeting (USS Odyssey REPRESENT!), and recording it on two separate vcrs, one for viewing and one for the collection.
Not that I would know any of that from personal experience or anything. I've heard things, okay?
True. The pedantry was always there, though, laying in wait. Biding its time to pounce on any inconsistency or contradiction. As is tradition.
I guess you could make the argument that it adds a bit of diversity to the alien looks for the cast. Keeping the “The Host” look would have one of the female cast members playing an alien with a wrinkly nose and the other female cast member playing an alien with a wrinkly forehead.
It's noses and foreheads all the way down. I'm sure the spots still took time to apply, but were infinitely more comfortable by comparison.
Wow, looks like a Tesla drove into their face.
Hah, I had entirely forgotten about the TNG trill costume!
Yes they were in Buck Rodgers:
When I first looked at this I thought this post was about how the guy who played Professor X was in Star Trek.
Lol, yeah. The heading is just used as a framing device. The "whoa" (for me, anyway) was realizing that that version of Prof X and Jean Grey had met before.
On snap Patrick Stewart was in startrek???
First they are lovers then they are mentor-mentee.
So that's why she's so pissed off; he never called.
