/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.

In season 3, see if you can spot when Spock suddenly wears something marketable and makes a point to talk about it, lol. It was controversial at the time and Nimoy was reportedly annoyed at first.

I was going to guess it was this https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Space_fun_helmet

EDIT : I looked it up

It's like you're right there on the deck of the Enterprise, forehead name and all! Such realism!

Haha, that helmet has to be one of the most insane attempts at a show tie-in toy ever. It had nothing to do with Star Trek!

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

But seriously, what was the one you were talking about

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 5 points 22 hours ago

The IDIC necklace. It was a minor point of contention between Nimoy and Roddenberry, because it was added with the intent to sell to fans.

It had nothing to do with Star Trek!

Oh yeah? You saying ny flashing light holder with Spock on it isn't the real McCoy?! 😤

All I can think of is the neural stimulator thing from "Spock's Brain", but I doubt that was necessarily exceptionally "marketable".
