/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.

Good summary of my expectations, but let's give it a fair chance first.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 34 points 2 weeks ago

Even if it's the best Trek ever made, the reaction to the poster will stand.

[–] bobo1900@startrek.website 50 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

Please don't make it a generic US high school drama. There's already enough US-defaultism in Star Trek.

Also, the image is glossy, it feels like AI generated

[–] shyguyblue@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I thought it was an AI head swap too...

There's no way those actors posed for that image at the same time.

is it me or did they change Klingon physiology yet again?

[–] watson@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, I’m pretty sure they were incapable of smiling before now.

32century stuff. Everyone is a little bit of everything, so make-up gets to be whatever.

The more I see of this the more I realize that it's probably not going to be for me. That's fine, I'll give it a try anyway.

[–] negativenull@piefed.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm hopeful due to the presence of Tig Notaro, Paul Giamatti, Robert Picardo, Stephen Colbert, Oded Fehr, etc

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Those are all the people and characters I want to see. Where is their poster?

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 34 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

As long as the Ellison's control Star Trek it will never have a return to form. So this will be as bland as SNW S3 was when Fascism is taking hold all over the world. I feel classic Trek would have something to say about that.

Paramount: We need to ensure this new show attracts as many people as possible while maintaining a strong identity of Star Trek. How can we hit those points with the Ad campaign?

Marketing: Well our focus groups are saying that a lot of Star Trek fans are still yearning for something closer to the aesthetic of 1990's Star Trek

Paramount: I zoned out there for a bit but I did hear aesthetic of 1990's. Make that the core of advertising!

[–] grue@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

It's not even the aesthetic we want; it's the writing style.

Not sure if this is real or just a piss-take.

Reminds me of this old meme:

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (8 children)

Still not gonna watch it. The poster neither makes it seem interesting, nor does it indicate someone learned from the debacle that was SNW S3.

Plus that fucking college jacket.

wtf did they use AI to generate this poster?

[–] just2look@lemmy.zip 28 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Or it is really bad photo editing/manipulation. That poster looks really bad.

[–] kieron115@startrek.website 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yeah probably, none of them have extra fingers. But wow did someone screw the targ with this poster.

It's just a lot of HDR processing. You get this when you extend curves to maximize range and then crank the vibrancy and definition sliders to the top.

it looks like AI because the older Stable Diffusion models had flaws that caused them to prioritize vibrancy instead of realism.

Star Trek: High School Polycule…? Is that where we’re going?

Can't wait to see all y'alls bingo cards leading up to this show?

  • Character with dark secret past hinted at in Ep 1 and revealed/confirmed in ep 2 or 5.(Maybe a youthful thug, killed someone / accidental death, or related to a legendary character)
  • Pregnancy scare
  • classroom or messhall inspirational speech by the underdog (teachable moment)
  • cameos, verbatim quotes or callouts to major characters or moments in the first 15 mins
  • bad teacher is good / exceedingly nice teacher is season end villain

Well, they all look like really good F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

It probably will. That blonde woman wears what seems to be a damn college jacket.

[–] PixelatedSaturn@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

No chance it doesn't suck. They aren't making it for you. They are making it for young people, new audience, so it will be a cookie cutter bs show, with bad acting, no real story with illogical plot holes all around. It will be pointless and cringe.

These companies are unable to make something good and the proof is that they don't.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I can't even tell if this is real any more.

We already had Star Trek Last of the Summer Wine with Picard, and a live action Lower Decks so anything is possible.

All the other parts aside, how on earth did they make this look so shitty? The quality is awful, colors are too saturated, the lighting is clearly fake, and everyone's skin looks like they slathered Vaseline on themselves.

Very gender sterotype in the clothing design. Skirts for women, pants for men. I can already tell its going to be shitty.

At this point I’m just accepting that we’ll have to sit through 3 bad shows to get 1 good one. I guess I’m okay with that as long as they keep cranking them out.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 8 points 2 weeks ago

I'm laughing already!

... it's not a comedy? Oh dear...
