    I expected an upvote to come out of his phaser there. Still having Reddit flashbacks or whatever, I guess.

    That’s a fancy maneuver! In the air, pulls out the phasor, moves it to the right hand, all while trying not to trip on that bar. (I would faceplant)

        It’s insulting that you insinuate he needed more than 1.

      No offense because that does look like a difficult jump but the phaser was in his left hand the whole time. He does not pull it out. He then lands and takes a step before moving it to his right hand.

      Dorn is wonderful but just want the proper attribution of events here. 🖖

        I can’t see it until after/during his landing on my phone, I’ll accept your sequence of events.

        I’d still faceplant the jump.

    It’s like meeting someone in an empty desert.

    You go through life secretly liking Trek while everyone around you either doesn’t know about the show or have heard of it and think it’s some kind of nerdy thing from the past. Or they think there’s something wrong with you for liking a terribly made show in their opinion.

    Then you meet a stranger who likes Trek and wants to talk about it.

    You jump over a railing, flail your arms in the air, and land with both feet, then with a serious look point at them … and ask which series do they like the most.

    You have found your people

      Somewhat related, I was in a company Christmas party, got hot and removed my ugly sweater (for the ugly sweater competition, of course), revealing my Weyland-Yutani tee-shirt. A coworker immediately pointed at it “Ooh, Weyland-Yutani!” then grabbed his wife while pointing and they both showed me their matching Alien Xenomorph tattoos. Fun all around.

      I’d say Tasha is the one that goofed. Worf would be better in hand to hand combat so should be in front in case it came to that while Tasha covers him from a higher position while also guarding the turbo lift.

/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. 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.
