/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.

I'm sure I'm missing more examples, but space got a little cramped.

Edit: added Saru for Admiral Patrick, and in doing so, had to add SNW Kirk to hide Saru's cropped head... also now featuring a conveniently placed Zora... plus Kira and Jadzia's beautiful rendition of "Allamaraine" followed by drunk Bashir for Lopen's Left Arm... more backup vocals from "Unnamed Klingon Chef" from DS9 in lieu of Gowron from the Klingon language program for PrinceWith999Enemies... including the DS9 do-re-mi quartet for CelloMike... rounded out with blooper reel Gene and Danilo for aeronmelon.

Wow, this is a lot of work to make this! Well done!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Thanks. Did it "make your blood scream?"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Definitely!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Picard sang A British Tar in Insurrection. I know you've already got him in there, but at least that one is canon.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I bent reality a bit to make it, including Shatner's "Rocket Man" performance.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You could also use Kirk from Star Trek V, singing Row, Row, Row Your Boat. ;)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Right, but then we wouldn't see him looking dapper yet dressed down next to Vic and Sisko (not because I had spent some time trying to forget it). Can I interest in in a marsh melon?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Fair enough.

takes the marshmelon

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

My favorite star trek songs are the klingon ones.

Warrior’s Anthem and the Klingon drinking song

Also the acid punk song in lower decks

And finally who can forget that lovely boy band song?

Worf in the right bottom, singing "Maylota."

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Oh man! I missed Worf in the image!

Or without the background:

Thanks for the logo. Tried my own, crappier recreation. ~~Anyway, who are the other judges?~~

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

John de Lancie (in Q inquisition outfit of course)
Majel Barrett
Gene Roddenberry

Shitpost suggestion: JJ Abrams

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No JJ, but the rest are in place.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Beautiful! No need to tarnish this with JJ.

If I can make a suggestion, Gowron’s song from the (I believe) canon computer game Star Trek: Klingon should make him not only eligible, but front row. I give you the Klingon War Song with English translation.

Okay, so he’s more the persuasion accompaniment, but as Captain I think he gets the credit, plus I don’t remember if anyone else recognizable is on the bridge in this scene.

It’s probably been 30 years or so since I played this game (it was actually a Klingon language learning program, complete with crappy microphone input).

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Damn, that's a deep cut. He appears to only laugh a bit and cheer them on. I'll see if I can find a shot that's not all of 5 pixels, though.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I’m not even sure the original game was as much as 640x480, but it was a pretty amazing and immersive experience for teenage me.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Best I can do is the Klingon chef from DS9. Not a lot of source material for that language program.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

That’s more than fair. They probably sold like 11 copies. The actors were really into it though, and it was a very early game to be based around recorded video rather than computer graphics.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

I love this so much

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Saru's song of remembrance is the only one off the top of my head I don't see in there.

https://streamable.com/e/bv6tw

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Ok, got him. The only shots of him singing have his head cropped, so had to add and get creative.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Now I remember Zora sang "Stormy Weather". Not sure how you'd even incorporate the ship's computer, though? Can definitely let that one slide. lol

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Appreciated, but yeah, that's another good one.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Oh, you managed to get her in there! Fantastic.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago
[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Are we including Jack, Sarina, Patrick and Lauren and their do-re-mi ditty in DS9?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

They're in now.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I see you've got Sisko already, but Dax, Bashir, and Kira all sang "Allamaraine" in Move Along Home.

Forgot Bashir, but decided to go with his drunk singing with O'Brien.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Since it doesn't have to be 100% in-universe. There's also that one blooper from TNG's Up the Long Ladder where Worf, Danilo Odell (Barrie Ingham), and Gene Roddenberry are singing a jaunty folk song:

Great blooper reel! Crammed them in for ya.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Damn, you need a bigger viewscreen.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How dare you relegate Kevin to the background like that!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It just dawned on me that you're keeping your promise to have Kevin sing for any memes featuring Kevin.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I honestly don't remember making that promise, but I'll pretend I kept it.
