/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.

Voyager is a mixed bag. I watched it a good bit on broadcast back in the day but im just now doing a full binge (im like 2/3 through s2 atm so Seven of Nine hasn't even shown up yet). There are some rather strong episodes, plenty of weak ones. The majority is fairly middle-of-the-road, which feels worse when held up to TNG and DS9. My understanding is a lot of people felt it leaned a bit too heavily on time travel and holodeck gimmicks. And, of course, Chakotay's fake Native American lore is suuuuper cringe knowing what we do now, but you can mostly overlook it.
It's generally worth watching at least once, but I wouldn't do so on the tail of one of those. DS9 especially lol
I still crack up anytime they start to broach Chakotay's "Native American, but in SPAAACE" stuff and you hear that pan flute music start to play.
Which gives me an idea for a new meme format: First panel details some New Age gibberish, second panel is Chakotay with a bracketed subtitle saying "Pan flute music intensifies"
The end love interest of Chakotay resonated badly imo. Granted age gaps of 15-20 yrs were common in movies/TV in that decade. God forbid Hollywood pairs up two people who are the same age.
I hate time travel, unless it’s Star Trek. I grew up on it, so contextually it’s just part of Star Trek. Anyone else does it and I will stop watching/reading midway through.
How about a structured walk through, focusing on characters or some other aspect of the show? Like 7/9 seems like she probably has a really interesting arc.
I'm not even talking about the quality of the show. DS9 was pushing arcs and political complexity, and Voyager could do neither within an episodic format (at least as far as I watched).
