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.

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.
