How the fuck can Elon Musk claim to be a Trekkie? When he is against everything Star Trek stands for?!
The psychological dissonance of that man is insane!
He also claims to love the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a book series where technology corporations are absolutely loathed and every AI is either a broken or an asshole or both.
I think the closest thing Elon is to Star Trek would be a Romulan/Ferengi hybrid wannabe. Dreaming of having a star ship to manipulate, conquer and extort the galaxy.
Please state the nature of the emotional emergency
I definitely read this with the Doctor's cadence and finished off with the shit-eating grin he makes when he's said something snarky.
Finally, a self-driving car with actual intelligence.
For those that don’t know, the Johnny-Cab self driving taxis from this movie are voiced by Robert Picardo
What?! Awesome!
And since I had to double check if I remembered right, the film is Total Recall
Edit: Looking closer, I can see the family resemblance between JohnnyCab and EMH.
That's my The Doctor. Sorry, Dr. Who fans.
What's this from?
Stargate: Atlantis!
Robert Picardo played Richard Woolsey, a member of the Stargate Program's international oversight committee. In the fifth and final season, he was made head of the Atlantis Expedition in the Pegasus Galaxy. Here, he is standing next to Dr. Jennifer Keller played by Jewel Staite.
If you want to get into that life, be prepared to watch a major motion picture, a made-for-TV movie turned pilot, 351 44-minute-long episodes over 17 seasons of three television series, two more made-for-TV movies, and a 10-webisode origin series, not to mention literature set in that universe. The visual media took me six months to binge watch the first time I did it.
Why is Barty Crouch Jr. side-eyeing Lewis Zimmerman?
Why is Crowley side-eyeing Richard Woolsey?
Starfleet was diverse? It was like 75% white people
Most of Starfleet isn't even human
Ok, of the humans, 75% are white.
And I don't know which show you watched, but most of Starfleet were humans
My head canon is that TNG, DS9 and Voyager are set in the Kelvin universe, where
Star Trek 2009 spoiler
Most of the Vulcans are dead.
I have no (in universe) explanation for the lack of proportional human diversity, in TNG, in particular, though. I notice sometimes during a rewatch and it does break the immersion.
Yeah, in 1990, America was still 80% white. It's only in the past 30 years we dropped to 61%.
/c/TenFoward: 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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.
