/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.

Fun fact: Patrick Stewart had an affair with that actress.
Thought he cheated on her with someone else?
It's a while since I listened to his book but as I recall he cheated on his wife at the time with that actress whose name I can't remember.
He put that in his autobiography?!
Yeah he was very open about it actually. It's a "warts and all" book to some extent. Left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth tbh but I did appreciate the honesty of it.
Edit: it's an easy listen if you're into audiobooks at all and he reads it himself. Some cool little nuggets in it and it's interesting to hear how someone dirt poor in the arse end of Yorkshire rises to the level he has.
Good review, I just can't bear to hear someone making a profit off of the details of how he betrayed his wife.
Yeah, big time. When I heard he was reading it himself I preordered it and loaded it up on day one.
The first part where he describes the conditions he grew up in was fascinating stuff. How he got into drama in a town that wouldn't normally stomach it, the folks that supported him, meeting Brian Blessed etc. was really cool. I ate it up. Probably cleaned 50% more than an average week just to keep it rolling. :D
Then we got to the nasty bit. I was fairly shocked while listening to it and it just totally flavoured the rest of the book for me. I just couldn't get past the "yeah, you're a prick" feeling.
Like fine if the marriage isn't working out, it happens. Go and get your divorce then move on, but the way he went about it was filthy. I mostly just wanted to get to the end after it.
I did look up the video where himself and his current partner are having a roll (MDMA) and that was funny to see.
