My favourite character is angry coffee lady.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 hours ago

That would be a great thread starter ....

Trek characters but you don't know their name

[-] MrShankles@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

I started watching Star Trek solely because of the memes here, and it turned out that I really liked it... and then my wife joined me after just a few episodes of TOS. Turns out we both really like it and now have a plethora of great sci-fi to watch together

We've watched TOS, TNG, and now we're about halfway through season 1 of Voyager. Plus several movies in-between. The memes converted us lol

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 hours ago

I had watched a bunch of shows years ago but stopped mostly because I didn't have anyone around to talk to about it all. My wife is partial to it but will only watch TOS because it's nostalgic for her.

But it was mostly being here in communities like this, especially here in c/tenforward that got me back to watching it all again. I had always wanted to watch DS9 but never had the enthusiasm ... but after being here for a year, I started watching it and now I'm part way through season four.

Great to hear your story and I wish you and your wife to 'Live long and prosper'

Don't get me wrong ... I love all the memes you've been creating ... they send me down endless rabbit holes to read about Trek related content all day long .. it's beautiful.

I go to Memory Alpha all the time ... first time I've heard of ex-astris-scientia.org ... thanks!

I've always loved Trek but I've never really found a circle of friends in my life who felt the same way. c/tenforward has become my favourite place on the internet these days.

Thanks to you and thanks to everyone for being here

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

I'm just glad people are participating in our community.

Careful with Ex Astris Scientia. It is absolutely a time suck.

you're threatening me with a good time?

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Back in my day, we used the original Memory Alpha:

[-] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 day ago

Linking to ex astris scientia with no safe guards? Around here that is more dangerous than a link to tvtropes.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I'm not saying I work for them, but I'm not saying I don't get a paycheck every time I direct a Lemmy user there.

[-] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 day ago

and if you want a browsing experience that doesn't s*ck @ss, try adding "anti" in front of the fandom domain:

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

TBH, that looks worse to me. Are you on mobile? I usually use a desktop and memory-alpha works just fine. I am using Firefox with an adblocker, that might help.

[-] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 day ago

yes mobile, no adblocker, so that's the quickest solution for me to avoid auto playing video ads all over the place

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Fair enough. I avoid mobile browsing as much as possible because of things like that.

[-] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 day ago

yeah between financial gain incentive and cookie consent popups, it's getting difficult out there! in any case thank you for your feedback, fellow Star Trek meme enjoyer!

[-] MrPoopyButthole@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

You guys don't use reader mode?

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Every meme inches me closer to the idea of subscribing to Paramount+ so I can watch/rewatch Star Trek shows to better understand these memes. DS9 and Voyager especially.

Bastards. 😒 🤣

[-] CrazyLikeGollum@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Can also just buy the blu-rays/DVDs. I think everything except Voyager and DS9 is available on Blu-ray, with those two only having DVD releases.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 8 points 23 hours ago

Yaknow, . . . my brother Rom may be an idiot but he knows where to get the isolinear rods so you can watch all those for free. Of course my services in this matter would still need compensation. Not much, just a few strips of latinum.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I'm an old fart with DirecTV, and Channel 20 (MeTV) airs DS9, TNG, Voyager, Original Recipe, and Enterprise into the night, every night. I'm not all caught up yet but I'm getting more of the memes!

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

Personally, I've watched some Trek when I was younger and loved it ... but it was only about the 2000s that I rewatched all of TNG, later watched all of Voyager ... and now I'm in the middle of watching DS9 ... and my wife and I are slowly working our way through The Original Series (it's the only Trek she'll watch) ... and even with all that I've watched, I still feel like I don't know as much as most hard core Trek fans

Someone has calculated how many hours it would take to watch every Trek movie and series ... it's a month of non stop Trek! ...

Every series and movie combined totals 837.5 hours, meaning it will take 34.9 days to watch them all uninterrupted.

https://www.cbr.com/star-trek-every-tv-episode-movie/

... as much as I've watched, I think I'm probably at about 6-7 days of Trek so far ... some hard core fans have seen all of it ... multiple times!

[-] negativenull@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Imposter syndrome!

The right amount of Trek is as much Trek as you are comfortable with! I haven't seen all the series either.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

.... or .... there is never enough Trek

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Ha! Nice. Once I get through Supernatural, I’ll be in need of another show to watch. I have plenty of time when my kids are at their mother’s…, so I feel confident I could catch up quickly. 😁

[-] kamenlady@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

You could sail the high seas for a day or two and you would be able to download all shows and movies on your HD, after that just dispose of the ship.

You would have to live traveling the ocean though, if you also want to keep up with the current shows.

Or wait until a good chunk of shows are done or have enough seasons, so that a quick sailing would bring home a good bounty.

I myself have never sailed or written the comment you just finished reading.

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

That was one of the more disturbing things to come out of ENT. Also, this is correct.

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah, quite a journey from “Faith of the Heart” and Phlox’s cheerful disposition to this episode

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

my source of Star Trek information : watching random episodes on BBC2 over 20 years ago.

my wife started listeing to a podcast about TNG,and she's starting to go through the episodes one by one. by the end of it, despite it forming a bigger part of my identity, she's going to know more about star trek than me

[-] rooroo@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

Which podcast is she listening to?

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

IDK, it has the old Captain JLP song as the intro music

[-] andyburke@fedia.io 8 points 1 day ago

/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.
