I’ve only seen the original movie, but I don’t see how anyone can top Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto.

I hate you with every fiber of my being, and with the intensity of a thousand supernovae!

Good work!

I know you’re joking but I have a friend who’s like that; their introduction to Star Trek were the 2009 movies and afterwards they started watching a bit of the previous series but never really got into it. So they keep telling me how amazing the 2009 movies are (I’ve seen them all once around the time the released, I don’t recall a lot of the plot, just that I found them to be very un-star trek, they watched them religiously) and how hot all the actors are and I just roll my eyes and say “yeah yeah, suuure”. Still love them, despite their weird Star Trek opinions.

Sounds like me. The Kelvin timeline movies were my first introduction to Star Trek, and everybody in them is hot. Now I’m on the second season of DS9 (sorry, couldn’t get through the first season of TNG, even though I wanted to).

Uh, Voyager aired in 1995 so if you’re 30 now, you would be 1 year old when it aired. Would have been 2 years old when Janeway and Paris had lizard sex. Timothée “Paul Wonka” Chalamet wasn’t even born when Voyager premiered.

When Seska was betraying the crew, Square released Final Fantasy 7.

Voyager encountered the Borg and met Seven about when Baby Hit Me One More Time was released.

When Janeway finally got Voyager home, Drake was starting his career on DeGrassi.

But if you are 39 now, you were 10 when it aired.

Yeah but not everyone lives in the US, other places got it later, and reruns exist, yet usually stop after a few years.

Slightly off topic.

I was watching a Tom Baker / 4th Doctor episode where someone refers to the Prime Minister as “she.” Naturally I assumed that they were referring to Thatcher. Turns out that the episode was made before Thatcher took office, and the writers were being wild and futuristic by making the leader a woman.

Yeah I was TV-watching age at that time and something I’ve watched as new when I was under 10 does is something I might describe as “old”, depending on context.

I heard a girl at a bar refer to Nolan’s Batman Movies as the “Classic Batman movies” a few years ago and I still haven’t recovered

For whatever reason, I read your comment as if you were referring to the Tim Burton movies, and I still thought it was weird to refer to them as the “classics”.

People don’t have fun with super heroes like this now. It’s all dark and gritty. Imagine a campy, tongue-in-cheek Fantastic Four movie that they didn’t have to worry about tying in to the rest of the MCU. How awesome would that be?

Every time I hear someone call Pearl Jam “Classic Rock,” I die a little inside.

I have a friend who doesn’t like the (quote) “new Star Trek shows”. That’s anything produced after 1969. He grew up with TOS.

He’s enjoying SNW though, so there may be hope for him. 😄

That tells me he likes Star Trek when it was the “wild west” in space.

Understandable.

Create post

/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.
