/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. 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 still irritated about that scene on behalf of Nimoy. Shatner should have been told to stuff his ego up his ass.

What went wrong with that scene?

The kiss between Kirk and Uhurah was supposed to be between Uhurah and Spock. Shatner threw a fit and got the script changed. He essentially stole Spock's girlfriend because he wanted all the romance scenes.

No. In this case, Shatner knew the kiss was going to be historic and therefore wanted to be the one to go down in history for the kiss.

That said, Shatner did what he could to keep the scene from getting cut.

"Spock's girlfriend?" That's not TOS canon, in any way.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Correct, because Shatner threw a fit.

Shatner certainly caused problems, but one scene, one kiss, out of the whole of ToS, hardly seems like it would have established a relationship with Uhurah. 🤷‍♂️
