/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.

What about in Rom's voice, Brother?

I read it in the voice of the principal of Sunnydale High School.

They’re the same person?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

Fee averted, I read it in this guy's voice.

Armin Shimerman

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Nice try.

Snyder and Quark have different voice anyways. Quark has teeth prosthetics which changes his voice from his natural one. It's subtle but it's there.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

The one thing in common: he filmed that last episode of Buffy and DS9 on the same week.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Hah it was just worthless gold, the latinum is hidden somewhere else entirely.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Didn’t you get killed by a giant snake?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

Gaming the system Mr. Derek? That's detention.

Internal thoughts cannot be monetized. The flipside of 'you cannot be sued for copyright infringement for having unoriginal thoughts.'

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Rule of acquisition number 294: Everything can be monetized with the right attitude.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago

I would like to nominate you for the next Grand Nagus. You clearly have the lobes necessary.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

What about the borg? Can they sue the collective if they have an original thought?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Hmm, the Borg are probably the Ferengi's worst nightmare. Being a hive mind, they don't have an economy...which means no profit!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

They don't have what we would recognize as an economy, but they do have resources and are on rare occasions willing to trade them with outsiders. (See: Voyager) I can imagine some particularly risk-inclined ferengi trying to strike a deal. Gives me a "goodlife" from Saberhagen's Beserkers kind of vibe.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

I don't know the legal ramifications, but you'd think any thoughts arising from the collective would be public domain.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

Internal thoughts cannot be monetized.

...yet.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

I read lots of headlines in Professor Farnsworth's voice - a highly satisfying habit I recommend cultivating.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

Good news everyone! I've decided to take your advice!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I read this in Armin Shimmerman's voice; not Quark's.

Andrew Ryan: Would you kindly pay me three strips of latinum

I forget that Quark was Andrew Ryan

Jokes on you; I have no idea what his voice sounds like.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

As someone who has never actually seen Star Trek and has only ever enjoyed the memes, looks like I get free internal vocalizations.

Also I have no idea what this guy sounds like. My immediate thought is Tony Shalhoub

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You should really try watching it sometime.

I'm just afraid the mystique will be broken y'know? Like running into a flock of peacocks.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

TNG and DS9 have their bad episodes, but they are incredibly good over all (Mostly in the early seasons)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

I feel like you got the parentheses in the wrong spot in that sentence. Are you really suggesting the incredibly good episodes are mostly in the early seasons?

THAT'S his name! I couldn't remember for the life of me

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

Watching DS9 after seeing Pulp Fiction my friend said, "Ooooh! Check out the big brain on Quark!"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

I’ve got two slips of latinum and a ride token for Galia’s Moon Resort. Will that do?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Probably a little difficult to talk at all with those nose and mouth prosthetics
