/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.

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.

To be fair, it wouldn't be the first time a Trek premiere's promotional image looked like a poorly-done bag of ass evoking the general garbage stylings of the era.

1966 TV Guide ad for the original "Star Trek" premiere. Lumpy-faced illustrations of Kirk and Spock flank a drawing of the Enterprise zooming past on a flaming rocket fire trail. The ad contains the text "Welcome aboard the United Space Ship Enterprise. Where it goes, no program has gone before... starring William Shatner as Capt. James T. Kirk (Earthman). Co-starring Leonard Nimoy as Science Officer Spock (from the planet Vulcan)"

1987 TV Guide ad for the premiere of "Star Trek: The Next Generation." Really sloppy airbrushed wet-looking illustrations of the TNG crew with expressions ranging from blank to befuddled are lined up across the page while the Enterprise D zooms past leaving another weird streaming contrail behind it. The text reads, "Tonight, the 24th Century begins with a spectacular two-hour movie."

I can't help but still feel excited for this premier, from this ad. Maybe they knew it didn't matter how they presented it, haha.

Also, they really underestimated Marina Sirtis' impact on the series, based on her placement here.

They also overestimated Wesley's crew commission. By rights he should be wearing one of his hideous Season 1 sweaters.

Never cared about Star Trek, but my god this is going to suck. Like ROP levels of suck if not more.

I'm as fatigued with bad Star Trek as I am with bad Star Wars now.

I'm honestly not excited to hear of any new Star Trek until they have a major change to show runners, or enough people who enjoy classic and 90s Trek come out and say, "oh wait this new one is great".

I want to like this, but wasn't I promised Commander Tilly. Where's Commander Tilly?!

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Can't see the Klingon's arms, but does Starfleet Academy have an admission requirement that one be improbably swole?

[–] usernamefactory@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

For the men? Yes. Women must be slender with nice legs.

Wait, what if this is an in-universe recruitment ad?

[–] TemplaerDude@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It’s astounding to me that the recipe for a good Star Trek show is just right there for the taking and we continue to get just shit like this.

[–] III@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I think it is great when we look at atypical stories within the worlds they build. Not saying this is going to be good - just that the same stories in the same environment over and over does get old.

I'm hoping it's a joke.

Maybe someone said "make a stupid generic teen drama poster and watch people lose their shit."

I like all Trek. (To preempt any whatabout responses, here) I consistently downvote and dismiss all "NuTrek" whiners. I don't even like the term. And don't even get me started on the "The Orville is the only good/real Trek in the last blah blah blah" MFers. But this has me a little worried. Is Tilly going to be the least annoying part of the show?

Please be a joke.

And I read that Tilly is only in a couple episodes.
