/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.

This meme is spine tingling.
Interesting scenario of rock paper scissors there. Thor loses to Hela, Hela loses to Surtur, Surtur loses to Thor
We never see anyone loading an 80s Arcade simulation into the holodeck, because seeing a Donkey Kong cabinet would trigger Worf's PTSD.
Ragnabarrel.
OSHA has entered the chat
This is such a missed opportunity.
The barrel should've been a Tribble.
I don’t remember a tribble ever paralyzing Worf to the point where he contemplated suicide…
I think it'd kinds funny because while taking an empty barrel to the back isn't really painful in any way, it's still definitely something a way smaller person might be properly disturbed by.
And also something I don't think actors would maybe even allowed to do nowadays or smth without a a stuntman.
Wait was it a stuntman or Michael Dorn. I think Dorn
That barrel falling from a few meters up and hitting with an edge would absolutely do some damage to pretty much anyone even empty. I think you’re underestimating how much force it would have.
Having player around with that size empty barrels in the army (and one or two we had at home since I was a kid in our outbuilding sauna for kids to bathe in), I'm not really that worried for a bloke Dorne's size, except for that lid.
The barrel itself is rather bouncy because of how big it is. As long as the bottom or the lid doesn't fall directly on your head, you should be fine, and if the barrel is actually sideways completely and you hit the large center part, it's just like a slight push. Might topple a smaller, unprepared dude, but not people Dorne's size. The fact that he has to somewhat awkwardly fall on purpose after that (because the empty barrel was acting the role of a very heavy full barrel) is what has made it a meme, imo. As in, the barrel clearly didn't do jack shit and he has to fall down himself.
Well that's my memory of it. So I rewatched it.

It actually could just as well be a stunt, as we don't even see the actors front when the barrel actually hits. But it's dropped from just above the cameraline and falls squarely with the flat side to the largest part of Worf's (Michael or stunt) back.
Now I accept I can be wrong and I don't know how it was actually done but I assume at most a small padding on the back should suffice. Because on that cut Worf is crouching the camera is slightly more zoomed in (not even noticeably). If the barrels dropped from as high and as long as it's made to appear to, sure. But it's just out of the camera line.
I don't know, I'd like to do it myself and find out. I'd like to be a nameless stunt on some productions. I know how to take a fall really well and don't really care for personal injuries anymore as long as they don't stop me going. I think as a pretty average sized 183 /6ft dude I might be able to replace the generic whiteman hero type as long as I'm not facing the camera. Maybe even then from a bit further.
And yes I'm saying this all sober.
