/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.

MODERATORS
I know a few working actors. This is what I've been told.
Generally, actors turned directors are the fastest to work with. Morgan Freeman is famous for never asking for more than three takes of any scene. Actor/directors can give the cast the exact intonation and actions they want.
At the other end, cinematographers are all about the "picture" and will do endless takes. "Maybe we try it with Data a little out of focus at the start?"
Makes perfect sense.
Having a great cinematographer on board like Marvin Rush, however, is how we get great shots like this...
... from "The Mind's Eye" where the brainwashed sleeper agent Geordi is on his way to assassinate the governor.
Ya been waitin' fo' years fo' a chance ta post that. Ain't cha?
Give or take a year from my last rewatch.
