/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. 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.

EDIT: I’d been 11 hours since I posted this. Scott Frakes isn’t a real person. Jonathan doesn’t have a twin brother. His middle name is Scott. This is a long running joke from Mission Log podcast. Whenever Thomas Riker was in an episode or they mentioned him, they would pretend he was played by a person named Scott Frakes, the imaginary twin brother of Jonathan Frakes.

That's because they used his duplicated clone, Soft Flakes, as his stand-in.

I thought it was Scott Fraakes

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You're thinking of Scott Fakes

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Is this thread the equivalent of fracking for Frakes?

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

It’s an honest shock that he came back in a different series.

But yeah, they should have finally gotten around to rescuing him during the Dominion War or something.

How's Mission Log these days? Haven't listened since just after Ken's departure. Don't listen to Greatest Gen anymore either, which has sadly left me bereft of Trek podcasts

Can't speak to Mission Log, but the Nextlander Watch cast is in the midst of their Summer of Trek, and have just hit the midway point of season 2. Seems like they do a couple episodes every week. The crew is made up of former Gamespot/Giant Bomb employees (Vinny Caravella, Alex Navarro, and Brad Shoemaker), if you're familiar with their previous work.

I listened to a bit of the Giant Bombcast years ago. Thank you, I'll check out Nextlander Watch!

I’m behind five years. I have literally 1,185 unlistened episodes in my podcatcher. I subscribe to a lot.

EDIT: That is 1,185 total, not of Mission Log. But yes, the majority is Mission Log.
