/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.

Thanks for the scat tips, I used to scat all over the place but it's better to just drop a couple nuggets when they least expect it
Of note Captain Benjamin Sisko was an accomplished jazz pianist.
I've heard Avery Brooks play. He's good!
Holy shit, Sisko's here on Earth playing piano??? I thought he was with the prophets!
This is where he goes back in time to the jazz riots.
Sometimes you need to have a break from Wormhole beings shenanigans.
Linear time is like, an illusion, man
I’m just gonna say it: Jonathan Frakes is not a very good trombone player.
He really isn't. His stance is way too closed and stiff, which probably leads to all the other problems like poor embrochure and mispositioning the slide
I don't hate Jazz, I just don't like listening to it
I love Jazz, I just hate the sound it makes.
Now take your medicine!
Medicine = 12 hours of interpretive jazz.
If you want to fish out and eradicate your internalized hatred of [bass] clarinet... go play a little game called Blue Prince.
both Asian-American characters play clarinet
Is this a stereotype
Was it implied they were American? Is that just based on their accents?
IIRC Kim is from San Francisco and Keiko is from Japan.
