/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.

That caused generational trauma

He’s having flashbacks to when the whales attacked.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Or when he conspired to try and start a war.

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Well… yes and no. The most recent home media release removes all those scenes about the war, the assassination and the reveal.

EDIT: I don’t know why Paramount couldn’t just settle on a director’s cut that they clearly state is separate from the theatrical cut which is canonical. They keep changing the cut with each release.

EDIT 2: I am sure @ummthatguy@lemmy.world, you know this. I’m adding this for others reading my comment who are unaware. Throughout the years, various home media releases for STVI, have inconsistently included and removed a number of (if not all) scenes regarding a secret plan to keep Federation and Klingon Empire at war, as well as the assasination attempt on the Federation President and on top of that a reveal that the assassin was a Human disguised as a Klingon, and revealing that the Human is Colonel West (played by René Auberjonois). A old Director’s Cut showed the fake rescue plan by West and how he eventually was going to attempt to kill the Federation President. Subsequent releases would jumble what scenes got included. Someone would show Colonel West rescue plan scene and the assassination attemp but never the reveal while others showed just the reveal. As of the latest 4K release, all of these scenes have been removed again.

If Worf doesn’t say “this is not Klingon blood” then I don’t wanna watch it!

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

It adds depth and intrigue to the story. The extra run time is worth it. Just silly to leave it out or chop it up haphazardly. Even TOS has its share of corrupt captains.

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 6 points 2 weeks ago

René famously was unaware of the first VHS release editing back in his scenes. Some versions oddly don’t credit him when a scene is present.

As a former resident of Southern Louisiana I can tell you that there is a chance, well north of zero, that saying that would earn you a visit to the sugar cane field. Not bad enough for a one way mud boat ride but I wouldn't test that theory.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Are those a beating and getting fed to alligators, respectively?

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Just a beating if you are lucky. Some shady shit happens in the sugar cane fields.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You could get chomped on by a nutria!

Meanwhile, many chefs would consider Cajun style black roux to be burnt dark roux.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 18 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

No! A dark roux is a slow toasted roux. It is very risky as it takes 45 minutes to an hour to get just right and if you burn it then you have wasted your time. The flavor is supposed to be nutty, NOT burnt.

A lot of people do not take the time to slow cook a dark roux, so they just burn it and say it is on purpose. Again...No. That shit is foul and any self respecting gumbo aficionado will immediately chuck that mess in the trash. Preferably slowly while maintaining eye contact with the "cook".

And a drink on hand, having gone to the bathroom prior to starting.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

This is the way.

[–] rebelsimile@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yeah I’ve had my mom several times go “nope that’s not dark enough”. There’s a wide line between having the right darkness and not burning it

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I mean, it is. And there’s nothing wrong with that. The dark flavor is perfectly necessary. It’s liquid smoke, but better.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 4 points 2 weeks ago

It means that Gul Dukat is not cursing but blessing Sisko. The facial expression works both ways.

I've taken mine to a dark chocolate a number of times, but no further. Feels like skimming the line near disaster.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Why bother when you can just add some chocolate instead?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

You! Are a mad man!

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

One step further and you can use it change the oil in your car.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Oh. Oh you did not.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago

Was this the basis of the Dominion War?

I think this was the basis of the Dominion War
