/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.

The superior version.
That's awesome.
This + Stargate
Never get off the boat, man, never get off the boat...
Farscape is like Mormonism
gotta watch Trek first to catch the references!
You have to watch a LOT more than that!
Some other references:
2001 A Space Odyssey
Looney Tunes (An entire episode was dedicated to the Coyote and Road Runner). That show had numerous other references too, including an appearance of the Enterprise itself.
Dr Strangelove or How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Bomb. (Dear John and Hi There for instance)
Dark Crystal
Dracula
Star Wars
There are many many more. The entire show was one big reference to something else.
One of the more esoteric Star Trek references was the aliens urinating. In Star Trek, no one pees. The only time any time of shower/rest room is shown in the entire franchise is in ST:TMP when the Ilia drone appears on the Enterprise. There might be a scene in ST:TOS where Kirk comes out of a door with wet hair and a towel around his shoulders, but that's it.
About the only franchise/movie that I cannot think of a reference in Farscape is Stargate.
Kirk comes out of a door with wet hair and a towel around his shoulders, but that's it.
Archer takes a shower on Enterprise. I think it was a Delphic Expanse episode. There was also that whole decon thing.
Jankom Pog mentions putting a sonic toilet out of commission. They don't show it, but they do give us the flushing sound as he exits.
Voyager has a detailed sonic shower scene with B’Elanna Torres.
Then there is Lower Decks...
In Star Trek, no one pees.
No longer the case, because of DISCO, which also confirmed the dual dick Klingon theory.
LOL... I don't think I've seen that scene...aaaannnd not sure I want to.
Thank you for the update though.
That's because Stargate made references to Farscape, not the other way around.

Post scarcity gay space communism vs. Space cowboys and wizards.
But forst they need to agree that B5 is superior to both big franchises.
This is the third edge of the sword.
Amazingly still very relevant. Mainly the graphics were dated when I watched a couple of years ago.
Trek Wars. Not to be confused with the 1994 cinematic masterpiece that is Tek Wars.
What if they choose Firefly?
Do we really want to subject our offspring to the torment that is no second season?
i gotta go with butters on this... its better to have loved and lost than never have loved at all.

The sci-fi gods welcome ALL, with a warm heart!
Just make sure they're old enough to participate in the "is Star Wars fantasy or sci-fi" debate first.
They aren't very comparable, different genres, completely different stories, different methods of storytelling, and completely different mediums (yes star trek has movies and star wars has shows, star trek is still primarily a series of shows while star wars is primarily a series of movies).
you sweet, summer child
I don't get it
You didn't explain anything
it was a coy, and somewhat comical attempt at calling you naive. but now its not funny. hmph.

¿Por qué no ambos?
They're just gonna end up being LOTR/Fantasy geeks and hate sci-fi if you push too hard. Instead of Trek or Star Wars conventions, they'll wanna go to the ren faire.
One is just 3 films, the other houndreds of episodes and several films.
How hard can it be? Worst case do the first and then switch!
The best Star Wars are the animated shows. Clone Wars, Rebels, Bad Batch are each better than most of the movies. Andor is also good. So Star Wars is a lot more than just 3 movies.

houndreds
Ignore the peanut gallery. You're right: there are only 3 Star Wars movies.
