/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.

If Geordi can see through the cards, then he can also see through their clothes..

Just sayin'

I'm... fairly certain he couldn't make out the details.

I like to think the mini menu in the lower center is a mid 2ks share bar for Myspace, Tumblr, Twitter, etc.

Murderbot style TV downloads, porn, Reading Rainbow

Do you think Geordi is as big of a fan of The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon that Murderbot is?

[–] TheRealLinga@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 hour ago

Hell yes. I mean of course

JWST can swap which wavelengths they are looking at. You're telling me Geordi can't?

He probably just has to hit a button and it goes to ir or x-ray or EHF.

[–] kieron115@startrek.website 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

In one episode he claimed that he got all the wavelengths at once, compressed through the visor so that his brain could handle it, and that he had to just focus really hard to filter out extraneous ones. He compared it to trying to follow a single conversation in a noisy room (think a bar or club or something). So I guess maybe he could have spent a bunch of time as a teen focusing on that specific wavelength?

Why do you think he prefers to keep the visor instead of the surgery? It was only because of the lawsuit that he got them later in the movies. 🙃

We talking about the character or the actor?

Pretty sure he can see through their skin.
