/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.

These videos were originally uploaded by The Spoony Experiment. They use clips from the “Star Trek: The Next Generation – A Klingon Challenge” VHS board game. A single actor in Klingon makeup has taken over ~~the off hours set of~~ the Enterprise and challenges players to Trek themed challenges at random intervals. During your turn he’d sometimes jump out and say “Experience Bij!” It’s the Klingon equivalent of, “Take this punishment!” and would usually make you lose a turn.

The Spoony Experiment typically posted scripted skit-based media reviews, similar to the Angry Video Game Nerd, the Nostalgia Critic, and other online contemporaries. These sorts of reviews can take a while to produce, so he’d occasionally post an Experience Bij video during a gap in his upload schedule. It’s was usually a mashup of the TNG game clips and an unrelated, ostensibly grating piece of media. They were meant to be a bit of a non-sequitur and were just there to let fans know his channel was still active.
