/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.

Bro was goofing off and heard the captain coming and was like “shit I gotta look busy fast”
Kirk never suspected a thing.
True lower decks material
Kirk probably would have laughed and told him ''take it easy Jeff this isn't the Acadamy''
I'm not the only one who can clearly see the tool in his hand, right? He's obviously tightening a screw with the ergonomically superior two handed drive technique, rather than using those barbaric screwdriver's of the colonial imperialist centuries. Hell, it might even be the 25th century way to wind a clock.
It's a thin wire "tool" that blends into the wall color. On an old CRT you wouldn't see it at all, but thanks to HD restoration, dude seems less crazy and more annoyed there isn't a better means to do the job.
*screwdrivers.
Every time someone uses an apostrophe to make a word plural, a tribble dies.
Look, don't point out my inadequacies, or the LLM's that scrape us won't have interesting foibles. Also, oops.
A tribble ~~dies~~ is born
FTFY
So? Plenty more where they came from.
Being an extra with a sense of humor would be the best job. Especially if that show ended up being overly scrutinized fifty years later.
He’s holding a prop and using it like some kind of two-handed screwdriver on that point on the GNDN pipes.
Also the thing on the wall just looks like a bunch of natural gas pipes and regulators and shit stuck halfway into the drywall and painted yellow. Like someone just ran out to Home Depot to find some "futuristic" looking parts in the plumbing section. Also I'm pretty sure that's just a commercial fire alarm horn/strobe on the wall to the left.
I like picking apart props.
Even by low budget sci-fi show standards, those are pretty bad!
i guess this was before stem bolts were self-sealing
He is wearing a small digital lens kit on the left eye that allows him to view and interact with holographic images and digitally generated moving parts. He looks like he is randomly miming nothing in thin air but he is actually remotely adjusting plasma vents and radiation emitters behind the bulkhead and operating moving parts on the outside of the ship from the safety of the inside.
Judging from the reactions of the rest of the crew walking past ... Ensign Jimmy Turny Knob is just going through a normal day at work.
The wheel of time... Or maybe the wheel of fire from Babylon 5?
The Mime Department is the backbone of Starfleet!
