/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.

Got an enemies list or mothballed experiments you'd like to fulfill?

Props to this guy for acting an elderly person so well I could forgive the paper mache makeup.

This is one of the special effects that the HD master makes worse! :P

Agree with the fine bit of acting. Also... Simpsons did it:

Am I the only one who thinks that TNG's "old person" masks always looked absolutely creepy? I mean, even my wife's 98 years old grandmother who spend most of her life in a vietnamese rice paddy does not look so fucked up like most "old" people in TNG...

My 99 year old grandmother doesn't look a day over 75. And then there's what they thought Riker might look like by the start of the 25th Century:

Estimation is usually a bit off.

Honestly, I think with Frakes they pretty much nailed it.

Went a little overboard with Stewart, though.

Conversely, Stewart plays up Picard's elderliness in Star Trek Picard for some reason. It's intentional, because the flashback scenes in the first season have him acting like he just finished filming Nemesis.

But I was actually just reading somewhere that Jean-Luc Picard is actually suppose to be significantly older than Stewart and that's the first time I've ever heard that. shrugs

Oh shit she served in 'Nam?!?

[–] the_wiz 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Ehm... no, not exactly... she IS Vietnamese.
