    At the time TOS was produced there was a rival TV series made in West Germany. It’s as nerdy and niche as you could ever wish for: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raumpatrouille_–_Die_phantastischen_Abenteuer_des_Raumschiffes_Orion

    Surely any similarities to TOS are purely coincidental.

    The Internet Archive has all the episodes with English subs: https://archive.org/details/raumpatrouille-orion/1+Attack+from+Outer+Space.mp4

    EDIT: Added picture and archive link

      From the German version:

      Der Boden der Tiefseebasis, auf dem Mitarbeiter die „Raumschiffe“ beluden, war in Wirklichkeit der Königsplatz in München, als er noch mit großen Granitplatten belegt war. Dort wurde aus erhöhter Position die Mannschaft gefilmt.

      The floor of the deep-sea base, on which crew loaded the “spaceships”, was in reality the Königsplatz in Munich, when it was still covered with large granite slabs. There, the team was filmed from an elevated position.

      Those granite slabs were put there by the Nazis.

/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. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.
