/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.

Star Trek: Discovery S3E12 "There Is A Tide..."

I haven't actually watched the new show or anything (no untagged spoilers in this thread, please), but this is the general vibe that I get from reading comments from people who have.

Needs more body positive female characters and badasses with a heart of gold.

They released the first episode on YouTube and no one watched it, the comment section is hilarious and spot on. Paramount but a red shirt on and killed Star Trek, it's dead Jim.

I gave NuTrek all the chances in the world. But I gave up on it when SNW had a holodeck episode and a bog standard one at that. I'm done.

SNW had a holodeck episode

Ahhh FFS. That sort of crap is too why I stopped watching star trek, completely. Star Trek used to be made by people who loved the show, now it's a cash cow being milked to death and they hope with adding know actors and loads of CGI that we won't notice. Hell, when the producers said they don't really care much about Star Trek, that should have set off some alarm bells but nope, all good.

I watched 5 episodes of STD and dumped it, it was awful CGI slop. I regretfully watched the nu trek movies and they're literally much worse remakes of earlier star Trek movies.

Then came ST: Picard, which has managed to ruin even TNG for me for a long, long time. I knew it would be terrible but everyone and their mother was repeating the aggressive marketing campaign that it would be absolutely awesome and ooooohhh god it was bad. They fucking ruined Q... That pissed me off.

Want to watch the true successor to star trek, in heart and mind? Wat h the Orville. Seasons 1 &2 are awesome, 3 kinda went into the same shit direction like star trek with longer episodes, weaker stories and much, MUCH more CGI to make up for it and hope we wouldn't notice. Season 3 is still not AS bad as nu trek, but it's close. 1&2, though, best trek since DS9, they even have their TBOBW moment!

I’m sorry you fell off the series. Everyone’s got their own tastes. Ironically enough Strange New World’s holodeck episode was a huge love letter and homage to classic Star Trek.

Havent really watched it, but I it had on in the background while doing some chores this weekend. (Its in rotation on the pluto Trek channel) Seemed alright, if maybe taking itself a little to seriously.

That being said one woman on the show had a voice that I swore was some pre pubescent alien character, when I walked by and saw it was an old woman I started laughing. So that was enjoyable.

The last episode of SNW left a bitter taste. not the writing or the cast - the scenes background of either generated images or something shot without even looking at a script - 'mooks lingering around' probably. there was no synergy at all between plot and whatever was behind them.

i was expecting to rewatch the entire season after that; now it soured me for new star trek.
