/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.

I'm not so sure. If we're counting everything that carries the Star Trek logo as a whole, then currently Star Trek is incredibly shit.
"Somehow Kahn has returned"
Depends on which star trek and which star wars
Yup, took me 30 years.
I prefer the shitpost genre. We live in the Bronze Age of shitposting, can't wait for what comes next.
On another note entirely, this looks like one of those memes that's a still clip from a porn film with an amusing unrelated caption
Back in the day, episode 2 made me realize I didn't like Star Wars that much, I just really loved Empire.
Original trilogy + EU books/comics/games is peak star wars for me. Rogue squadron, young Jedi academy, thrawn trilogy, etc. Star trek I think delivers more consistently across series but if I had to pick a peak maybe end of tng beginning of ds9/voyager.
Andor has been better than anything Star Trek has put out in the last ten years.
Yeah, and cow shit's better than pig shit.
But it's all still shit.
What didn't you like about Andor? And if your answer is "I didn't see it", then why do you already have an opinion on it?
Andor's the exception to the rule.
[Edit: oh, oops, I guess I still had other comments in my mind when I was replying to that. Was replying more to the general the new stuff's not as good as the old stuff vibe. Though still, under scrutiny, even the old Star Wars stuff has a lot of holes, and so it's hard to build something good on that. So I guess in the case of Andor, they've managed to improve(?) more.]
That wasn't awkward, it was "oh. Yeah."
Star Wars is for people that want actual science fiction that explores the consequences of empathic abilities, telekinesis and precognition. Religions form around the people that have those abilities, people are corrupted by the power those abilities give them over other people. The entire politics of a galaxy revolve around it. That's science fiction... exploring the consequences of fictional science.
Star Trek is for people that like science fantasy where everything is treated as just magical abilities that different races of people just have. The space elves (Vulcans) have telepathic abilities and it's just accepted as magic only the space elves have. The Q are sorcerers that can change the laws of physics and it's not questioned because aliens are magic. Nobody in Star Trek actually studies these things and try to create technology to recreate what the aliens can do, because it's not science, it's magic.
Star Wars is science fiction, Star Trek is science fantasy. Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
