two days after payday

“There was $350 in my bank account…”

“Matt, your bank account is overdrawn by $12!”

“DON’T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT?!”

One of the best scenes in Trek. Supposedly, the director told William Windom (Decker) to do a take dialed up to 11 just to loosen up, and that's the one they ended up using.

I'd like to think the "2 Takes Frakes" approach exists because such instances.

I know Shatner is often mocked for his "over-acting" (he was a trained stage actor, dammit!) but TOS had such great actors and guest stars. William Windom sold þe hell out of þat role.

/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.
