/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.

ENT was better than Voyager, but the self-sabotaging theme song really hurt it.

All of Berman's sex-obsessed decontamination scenes get looked down on, but if Roddenberry was still alive and finally had his way, there would probably have been much more gratuitous scenes than applying gell to each other. 🤪

Dr Phlox was a fantastic character who regularly faced character development.

T'Pol had tons of difficult struggles and she never let her beliefs be compromised even if it meant punishment for not selling out others. She went through a lot of trauma and found herself deep in drug addiction in S3

Travis and Hoshi were great characters too. They could have used more character development opportunities IMHO but they were pretty badass at what they did.

The pre-kirk/spock bond between archer and T'pol was heartwarming. They really came to trust each other by being there for each other.

But some of the most unique and special elements of ENT were :

  • You see Vulcans a lot, and they aren't the enlightened Vulcans of Spock's era. Their society in that time period is in baaaad shape, with Romulans actively trying to undermine their society. You see them struggle like any society has to at some point in their evolution, and some of the social issues they work into it are brilliant.
  • You learn more about the Andorians than you will EVER learn in any other show, and with Jeffrey Combs as the liason. (and the cute little bromance between Archer and Shran 🥹)

Extremely well put. Congratulations. I don't think I can agree more with any of this. Also the whole Xindi arc was awesome in my opinion.

Fuck that opening song though. I hope I never hear it again.
