Video posts don’t typically do super well on Lemmy but this one deserves attention. Just watch it. You’ll understand why.

Sidenote but the body double of Kirk is the same guy who is the voice over artist for Maul and Palpatine in the animated Star Wars stuff. Sam Witwer. Also known as Starkiller. You can really recognize him in a couple of the facial expressions during this video.

I cried in the theater when Kirk died at the end of Generations. I was 12 years old and sitting next to my dad who, looking back on it, was definitely emotional too.

I haven’t had a chance to watch. Need to prepare myself for it in a safe space, me thinks.

anyone who enjoys trek. do this.

was just interrupted by my kids and spouse 10 times(once in the bathroom) while trying to have a moment with this.

didn’t even finish it because I’m disgusted.

I’ll watch it later when I’m not so pissed.

Wow … thanks for this

I basically grew up in a world were Kirk and Spock were a normal part of the background of our lives … seeing Shatner and Nimoy was just part of growing up.

This really made me feel sad, nostalgic, happy, bitter and overjoyed … thanks to these people, my life was a bit more fun and happy and it still us through communities like this.

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.
