/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.

Using Star Trek: Scouts feel like cheating.

I know I'm in the minority, but I enjoy "Subspace Rhapsody." Got a real soft spot for comedy musicals.

I hate when the actors are so far distant of the universe they're playing in that they say "I miss singing and dancing" and the showrunners insert space for actors to show off, without consideration to the coherence of the universe.

I find Christina Chong lovely, but her nostalgia of musicals drove me away from SNW. That and the Trelane/Q episode.

You managed to call out the only items in this list that I have never actually watched. I have never seen anything from either of those series, I just know those are often brought up as complaints about the franchise.

SNW has much much worse episodes than the crack musical. Some people hate on musicals because they hate musicials. Doesnt make it a bad ep

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

The show meant for toddlers/young kids can be brushed off. SNW has plenty of merit, though not without its problems. It tends to dabble in genre episodes, monster of the week, while maintaining serialized subplots. Doesn't always land.
