/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.

It's sad to me that the dick jokes cartoon has been the closest modern trek to nail the feeling of older trek.

Paramount seems to think moody lighting, pointless drama, and special effects is all trekkies want.

You sound like the people that hated TNG when it came out. Things change with every new Star Trek. Lower Decks is way more than dick jokes, Strange New Worlds has been fantastic, and Discovery found it's slot in Season 3, and then improved on it in season 4, just like TNG. I'm excited to see what all three shows do with their next season

I've not watched SNW and perhaps dropped out of discovery too soon. S1, 2, and what I saw of 3 wasn't my favorite.

I mean, I gotta be honest, Picard somewhat ruined discovery for me. I get that they aren't the same show but they very much have a lot of the same feels going on.

I watch some of Discovery and hated it, frankly. I'm a diehard dark trek DS9er, but that ain't it.

SNW is visually opulent and fantastic, it really is what Discovery missed and I highly recommend it. Lower Decks had to grow on me and is now a favorite. Worth checking out imo!
