/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.

Pretty sure they're parodying Close Encounters of the Third Kind there. The one where an alien ship is approaching blasting out these tones, and Fry thinks he remembers it, they build this huge elaborate keyboard setup and Fry plays two notes on it and it turns out it's Nibbler shenanigans? That's parodying Close Encounters.
I think I can almost recommend going and watching Star Trek IV on its own, the plot is mostly self-contained for being the third in a trilogy, but I think it does stand on its own. It also has a profoundly good soundtrack, like, even for Star Trek.
Guess I have at least 2 movies to add to my watch list. Maybe 5.
