/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.

My brain has no idea how to process this.

Also excruciating.

Faith of the Heart will never not be grating for me. Too American, too 90s wannabe 70s soft-rock dreary & derivative, despite being a cover by a British singer of something originally written for and recorded by Rod Stewart.

This is exactly the kind of song that made me dread hearing soft rock music at dentist’s offices or physiotherapy.

[–] ItsAFake@lemmus.org 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It just needs a little faith of the heart.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 6 points 8 months ago

Without Alan Shepherd cocking his head with that "let's go" grin at "I've got faith to believe", it just doesn't work. lol

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Faith of the Heart. The message is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the refrences will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Enterprises positive outlook, which is deftly woven into the songs characterisation- the shows philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these lyrics, to realise that they're not just faith in a heart - they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Faith of the Heart truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the truth in Phlox' existential catchphrase "This is a nipple," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Rod Stewarts genius lyrics and melody unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂

This is a nipple

What the Spock did you just say about me, you little petaQ? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Academy, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Dominion, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in Koala warfare and I'm the top Red Shirt in the entire Federation armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my Logical words. You think you can get away with saying that Andorian fecal matter to me over Subspace? Think again, Tuvix. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the Alpha Quadrant and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, like your ancestors far from bones of your people. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're already dead, you little violation of the prime directive. Like a Changeling, I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my borg enhancements. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed Kirk-Fu, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United Federation Of Planets Military Assault Command Operations and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable face off the face of Bajor, you little piece of cheese infested bio neural gel pack. If only you could have known what unlogical retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you Q-damn idiot. I will fire fury all over you like Sisko commits war crimes and you will drown in it. You're dead like Jadzia.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Enterprise with The Emperor's March.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 months ago

Oh, this is delightfully cursed. Bravo.

I'm not entirely sure if peertube federates with Lemmy.

[–] thesilverpig@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Similarly, I changed my fiance's ringtone to this song. I'm pretty proud of myself :)
