    I… met her in a club… down in old Soho…

    Where you drink… champagne… and it tastes… just like… Coca-Cola…

    Edit: I’ve always thought of it as Shattner’s ellipses lol

    Some of the Shatner Commas should be exclamation points.

    I feel like with Walken it would be more like:

    You know! Bob Sue and, Greg! They? Came to my house!?

    Plan for when I’m taken hostage by terrorist group / state actor:

    • As. Soon. As. I’m. Taken. Start. Talking. Like. Shatner!
    • When the hostage video comes out with me spouting whatever script they gave me, the world cracks up laughing.

      It gives a way to distinguish between “Sue, and Greg” (two independent people), and “Sue and Greg” (a couple).

        I actually do like the Oxford Comma a lot, but there is a Vampire Weekend song like what I quoted above.

/c/TenForward: 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.
