/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.

I’m not very good at Star Trek. Did he fight 7/9 in some sort of forced arena spectacle?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

You are correct. Seven is captured and forced to fight in a sport called "Tsunkatse".

Here's the fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYUyTcoe0qw

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (3 children)

You're clearly pretty good at Star Trek. So close.

It was the one where Chakotay keeps fighting in some weird boxing ring.

Edit: the episode was called "Tonkatsu" because that's what Neelix was cooking that day.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (2 children)

So close. That's the Fight. It was the episode where Tom broke the law to save that ocean planet

The episode was obviously called Tsunami

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

So close. It was the episode where 7/9 insecurities made her act all tough and mean, but the crew help her realize the "human" part inside her is warm and loving.

The episode was obviously call Tsundere.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

So close. It was the episode where the Voyager space ship fires onto a ground target in a heavily forested area on an inhabited planet. The crew did not realize that they had entered a temporal distortion and traveled back to Earth in 1908.

The episode was called Tunguska

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

So close. That's the Travel, it was the episode where Kes comes back and wreaks havoc on Voyager. Janeway travels back in time, again, this time to deter Kes from doing something bad.

I don't remember the episode's Name

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Excuse me sir but you are incorrect, in this one Seven and Tuvok are captured and Seven is forced to fight

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ah right and the guy telepathically implants violent thoughts which they accuse Seven of originating. Which she gets arrested for. And Tuvok figures it out. It was titled "Implanted Thoughts" right?

Through this whole thread, i'm reading all the comments exactly like this.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

My dad watched. I missed a lot.

Also, I kinda dislike overused tropes and the "arena" one especially.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It wasn’t a high point for the franchise, that’s for sure.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I thought it was pretty good. The main bad guy was our darling Jeffrey Combs, and the grizzled mentor Hirogen that taught Seven was cool

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Glad you enjoyed it, but to me it felt exceptionally cynical, even more so than other marketing inspired crossovers. The particular way the crew became so keen about wrestling for this one episode was so ingenuine.

Combs is always nice to see, of course.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 months ago (6 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

Don't make me hurt you.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (3 children)

For the uninitiated, can you explain?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Oh, right... That one

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

The Brent Spiner TV series?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 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?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

I think prodigy confirms it as well

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago (2 children)

And not once in that episode did we smell what the Rock was cooking

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Smell-o-vision hadn't been invented yet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

But did he tell anyone to know their role and shut their mouth? Or at the minimum lay the smackith down on some non federation jabronis?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

Showing his extreme acting range, there.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Goddam is the Rock still getting Bigger? How do you do this at 50? I can barely maintain weight

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

First step is being filthy rich. Second step is hiring the best trainers, diet coaches, probably doctors and maybe even plastic surgeons, to build up and maintain your physical condition. You know, average people stuff really

[–] msage 3 points 3 months ago

Or steroids. Carefully selected and dosed.
