/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 the late 80's, there were plans for a Star Trek Academy film featuring John Cusack as Spock and Ethan Hawke as Kirk. The story behind its cancelation.

Cusack from Sixteen Candles and Hawke from White Fang with backdrop from Star Trek '09

Personal dream casting from that era: Ewan McGregor as Scotty, Emilio Estevez as Chekov, Tatyana Ali as Uhura, Brendan Fraser as Bones, Bob Saget as Sarek, Alicia Silverstone as Nurse Chapel, Ernie Reyes Jr. as Sulu, Jennifer Connelly as Una, and Jim Carrey as Pike (w/ Ace Ventura hair)

Come on, late 80s? Gedde Watanabe as Sulu.

Sure, but I'm a sucker for TMNT II and Surf Ninjas.

That's fair, I just like to believe Sulu was a huge dork in school who only became suave and charming later.

My bad. Here's a consolation prize:

[–] negativenull@piefed.world 4 points 6 hours ago

I don't remember that episode with Pike!

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

And Khan as the paper delivery boy

Imagine having an actually Scottish Scotty

[–] ryper@lemmy.ca 10 points 6 hours ago

Don't have to imagine it; SNW's Scotty, Martin Quinn, is Scottish.

Look I'm not saying some part of me isn't interested in seeing what this would have looked like, but Undiscovered Country is one of my favorites so I'm glad we got that.

Of course, love it. Just rewatched it last night after learning this bit of trivia.
