/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.

As a non-Trekkie:

  • William Shatner
  • Leonard Nimoy
  • Nichelle Nichols
  • George Takei
  • Patrick Stewart

Just don't ask me to identify which specific shows they were in.

Interestingly, all the names you could identify were cast members from the original series except Patrick Stewart who was in the next series, The Next Generation.

I'll throw in a Levar Burton for extra credit.

Take a look, it's in a book...

[–] bier@feddit.nl 1 points 2 days ago

I'm not an hardcore trekkie but I have seen some series (voyager, TNG, enterprise, most of DS9), I don't think I can name 5 actors.

[–] Steve@communick.news 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Still just one cast member, no matter how many characters.

Jeffrey Combs is an alias for all the Jeffrey Combs-looking alien actors that appear on Star Trek. #ConspiracyTheory #IWantToBelieve

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 days ago

I'll name you another half dozen characters ....

Majel Barrett

[–] cattywampas@midwest.social 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Tim Russ has a surprisingly long Star Trek resume as well

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Besides Tuvok which ran for quite some time...

That one terrorist from TNG

That one ENT-B officer with 1 line from Generations

Mirror Tuvok and a rando Klingon merc from DS9

Are you counting a lot of the fan stuff and unofficial features?

[–] zod000@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 days ago

That one off movie where he combed the desert, but did not in fact find shit.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Changeling Tuvok from PIC.

[–] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Also name at least five starships.

[–] CrazyLikeGollum@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Enterprise? does that count?

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Yes, bloody NXO1, NXO1-Refit, NCC-1701, A, B, C, D, E, F, G (technically the Titan-A), [missing info.], and J (much as we turn a blind eye).
