/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.

There's a short story, The Procrustean Petard, where the TOS crew get gender swapped by ancient alien tech. Fem Kirk is basically told he's (she's, but the story doesn't respect pronouns) unfit for duty because he's so hot his crew and everyone he interacts with wouldn't be able to resist his charms.

It's...problematic in so many ways.

Lexx did an episode like that, though only their sex organs and personalities were changed

I've told myself I need to get around to watching Lexx so many times but never actually done it.

I need to get around to watching Lexx sometime.

Lexx is ... demented. And the quality is very inconsistent. For every brilliant episode, there's a total clunker. I never finished watching the final season, but I really enjoyed the parts of it that I did enjoy.

The first season is more of a miniseries, it's really easy to get through and it's a goddamn masterpiece. The second season is also amazing.
