/c/TenForward: 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.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

Is it possible to heady fuck a Ferengi?
Bring back tunic skirts for the men damn it
Hell yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
He looks GOOD.
Look at em chest muscles
The flaring on the skirt really flatters his waist, but it also slims the legs, which is the only thing that I think is not quite right about this outfit yet.
The slimming of the legs is compounded by the loose boots, which makes me think it's a conscious design decision to clash late c20 masc and fem codings.
We know Starfleet is generally obsessed with the late c20 so I guess that's plausible in universe.
For my personal taste, I think they had the right idea with the close-fitting shorts, but maybe extend them longer or have more contrast. I'd also prefer him in something more like a martial arts slipper.
I mean, fella with that physique would look good in anything.
Counterpoint: backward baseball cap with Oakleys on his forehead and the Oakley tan and browmark, RBF, selfie in the cab of a pickup.
Worked for Samwise.
Okay but that's just raw sex appeal. You can't count such large outliers in data sets like this.
It's them thick thighs, isn't it?
Honestly I like thicker legs on guys than the average (like, I watch sumo wrestling). My personal fashion advice to him would be on how to butch up his lower legs, which I think is exactly what he was not trying to do.
A set of high heels would really set off the full musculature of the calf, which is quite manly
Historically accurate.
He's showing off the fact that he doesn't walk anywhere, the heels are for stirrups and the walking calf looks different.
That's like in the martial art movies where the old guy says "look at his forearm, I thought Octopus Strike Technique had been lost forever".
There are things written in your body that you can't fake, and I guess in c17 Europe one of those was whether you had ever walked a mile.
This scene for no reason:
I remember this episode, this scene even, for how it failed step 3 of the Bechdel test so badly. Never seen a more classic example.
- The movie has to have at least two women in it,
- who talk to each other,
- about something other than a man.
The fact that they're talking about a man, and also the circumstances of the scene. Like, what even are these exercises? Were they invented by some sleazy director? Or did a sleazy director just pick them out from a list? And then pick out the outfits?
This is the work of infamous Executive Producer Rick Berman. His "touch" is dotted throughout the TNG-ENT era. Not exactly a proud moment, but fits for the sake of this meme format.
I absolutely loved they did this in LD.
I laughed through that entire scene, missing most of the dialog, then I had to explain why it was so funny to my wife.
Only seemed fair.
A big reason why I watched Star Trek re-runs after school was because of the eye candy.
A big reason why I'm progressive today is because I watched Star Trek re-runs after school.
Yeah, that, but also then borgs in spandex happened & I'm still recovering.
