I'm something of a jizz-wailer myself...

/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.

Star Wars Jizzed right into my ear....
This isn't as funny since Disney renamed it to Jatz
Damn Disney and their cultural appropriation..
That’s our word!
When i saw that i was just hoping so hard that Jatz becomes slang for ass to mouth sex or something.
One preaches hope for a better future.
One preaches a never ending cycle of ambition, corruption, and cruelty.
Who would have ever thought time would prove Star Wars more thematically realistic 😂
Star Wars was based on the past but set in the future. They borrowed "stormtroopers" from Hitler. The space battles are just like WWII dogfights. Star Wars was never looking forward it was looking backwards.
With that logic, Star Trek is the same.
It is based upon submarine life. Even going as far as using the boatswain whistle and radar sounds at the controls.
One of my favorite fun facts: "Balance of Terror" was the original Star Trek episode to introduce Romulans, and the first to feature space combat against a near peer adversary.
The screenplay for that episode actually was for a submarine movie, and it got readapted.
You're talking about the organization of the ships crew, they're taking about overarching styles and themes.
Yeah but we need more submarine movies. If I have to pretend, I'll pretend.
The audacity of people, he wants a submarine movie to Boot.
I'd love to see Disney try out a sort of anthology of short seasons that all share thematic elements of WW2 that made the OT such a spectacle, but do like 4-8 episodes about a given person/squad/ship/squadron/station/agent/whatever...tell one good solid story about that subject then move on.
I'd love for one of those seasons to follow a light capital ship with 1-2 squadrons of fighters, and model it with elements of the carrier war in the Pacific mixed with a submarine movie theme.
Have them playing a deadly game of cat and mouse with a much larger ISD or Victory, both stuck in a nebula. They both get their hits in that cause grave damage, but both crews hang in there and stick to the mission.
How it ends is anyone's guess, but I could absolutely see plenty of room in that framework for intense scenes of sensors crews glued to their stations, hoping to go unnoticed, or desperately searching for any sign of their foe...

I wouldn't even talk to them, they'll probably answer in non-sequiturs and then run away giggling and twirling.
Especially this one:
Either you're into Star Trek and understand the self-burn vibes here or it's just a random not-overly-nerdy shirt.
I just applied for my UK passport and the photo I gave to them was me in a red T-shirt with the TOS delta on it. I'm guessing the delta will be cropped out, but here's hoping.
Total stranger in a Stargate T shirt. They probably have way more firepower, and enough C4 to solve all my problems.
If your interstellar society has slavery, I'm not interested. Didn't the Jedi free Luke and just leave his mom in captivity?
Way too many Star Wars fans like the Empire for my taste. (And the rebels aren't much better, if they're better at all.)
That was Anakin Not his son Luke. And Qui-gon tried to free Shmi as well but Watto was too resilient.
And when Qui-gon realized he couldn't cheat hard enough for both slaves, he just... didn't try to get the funds together? Come up with some other sort of trade?
To be fair he died in a war like 5 minutes later
Unfortunately the last few pieces of SW media I saw the only interesting characters were imperials.
StarTrek all the way, actual REAL peaceful space communists or religious Knights with magic powers? That's not a hard choice
Everyone thinks I'm super into star wars cause I enjoy building Lego space ships and star wars is the option in that regard. Mind you I've just noticed a Chinese brick company have dropped a giant Enterprise and there's a Rocinante on the way too!
Link please
I've ordered from both sites and they are trustworthy FWIW. If you're not familiar with Chinese brick companies GoBricks are the gold standard, Jie Star are pretty good too IMO. Most of the brands don't make their own bricks, anyone that uses GoBricks or Jie Star are typically okay in terms of brick quality.
If I'm honest in maybe 20-30 sets I've had one "poor" quality set of bricks and it was a £12 knock off of an X-Wing that I only bought because it was cheap, even then it was fine for the price.

kinda makes sense to me
one is an attempt at a hopeful, logical view of humanities future.. the other has laser swords and magic.
The Expanse: space will always try to kill you, humanity still sucks, everything still hurts, everything is still dirty.

I've been watching star trek (TNG, DS9, Voyager) and still don't get the red shirt reference. I know it's about them getting killed all the time but I just don't see it.
Its a TOS thing. They swapped the red and yellow colours for the following series.
D'oh, just saw that this was already said. I should read more.
They swapped the red and gold job responsibilities between TOS and TNG. In 90s trek, it's the gold shirts dying most often
The meme is from TOS. Not as many people died in the newer ones.
A simple pie chart reveals 55 total deaths and, yes, red shirts perished in frightening numbers. A whopping 24 died, compared to 9 in yellow/gold command and 7 in blue, with 15 crossing into the final frontier in unidentified colors
https://www.startrek.com/news/did-redshirts-really-die-more-often-on-tos
It's a running gag more than anything. The idea is Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Ensign Smith in a red shirt beam down to the dangerous planet. Who dies?
Obviously the one who is not one of the lead actors, whose character usually doesn’t have a name, no lines, never appeared, and is from security and tasked to protect the captain and jump first in combat is going to survive.
Ensign Smith:
In TOS, there were more characters in red shirts than any other color. So of course most deaths were characters wearing a red shirt. Proportionally, I believe it was actually yellow with the highest mortality rate.
Cause you didn't watch the series the meme is made upon (TES)
The edgy series? The excellent series? The ecstatic series? The evil series? The Elvin series? The e-coli series? The epinephrine series?
:p
I had to.
Stranger in a Farscape shirt: knows how to party... possible cast or crew member.
did they even bother making farscape shirts when any bdsm attire would work?

I have never watched even a single episode of Star Trek, but I like you guys for your memes.
