TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/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.

Andor is good precisely because it's nothing like most other Star Wars media, so there's a lot of people who enjoy it that aren't part of the Star Wars fandom.
Andor is good precisely because the writing is great with good character arcs and it never leans on nostalgia or fan service.
+1
It's grounded, too. Which I guess falls under 'good writing'
While also generally respecting the lore. As a die hard fan, I loved it. It had a unique perspective, amazing writing. Amazing actors. It fit into the broader universe while doing its own thing. Did it have Jedi? No. Did it need Jedi? Also no.
Compare that to discovery. None of that were minor changes, the show makes more sense if you assume everyone is tripping balls of Magic’s space shrooms.
It literallly felt like the only reason it was Trek was marketing and the writers just wanted to tell their own story. (Which would have been fine. I’d probably be more forgiving if it wasn’t trek.)
The only problem I have with Andor is, "Would you like to see more? Well... sorry!"
Andor is a SW show for people who hate Star Wars, and it works. (Not unlike how the Nolanized Batman was a superhero movie for people who hate superheroes.)
It's not my thing, but no one's making me watch it, so no big deal.
Yeah, that fits me.
I mostly only liked the Old Republic stuff, but Andor floored me.
