History will not catch up to Star Trek because Star Trek is a work of fiction and some of it relies on violating basic laws of physics.

This is like someone in the 1930s asking what should happen when history catches up with the H.G. Wells-scripted film Things to Come.

The answer is: Nothing, and part of that reason is that we don’t shoot people into space with a big cannon.

We certainly won’t with THAT attitude.

I’m afraid no amount of attitude will make a lot of Star Trek technology make sense.

Also, no amount of attitude will make Vulcans exist.

So, with zero attitude, I now formally introduce articles of federation of The Vulcan Empire, with myself as Grand Magis.

Our first order of business, introducing the stylish new trend of elvish-ear lengthening surgery, and the development of food replicators.

That is the conclusion of this video. I agree whole-heartedly and that’s why I posted it.

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. 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.
