/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.

Enterprise was a bit of a mess, but you gotta hand it to wardrobe: utilitarian jumpsuits was a great call for the prequel.
All the props and staging was incredible too, it's the best Star Trek appearance-wise imo. It all just looks much more real and believable than the rest.
I agree with one exception; use of an IR thermometer as a prop. It’s so obviously what it is that it makes me laugh every time they use it. And for some reason they use it as like their omni-screwdriver so it’s in every other episode.
One of the only other props that I can think of that is as egregious is there’s one episode of TNG where Alexander has this toy that is so obviously an off the shelf Speak n’ Spell type thing that’s upside down.
After all, how were they supposed to predict programming socks and a twirly skirt?
they had potential new aliens that couldve been explored too.
And theme song-wise!
the wierd main theme singing was very cringe, why they switched from the original.
I loved that series, just as much as the others.
I personally struggled to get over the sex-kitten treatment of T'Pol. Seven of Nine was bad enough...
A lot of people did, Rick Berman being thirsty and assuming all the viewers were too is literally the main reason that Terry Farrell left DS9.
I don't mean to excuse Berman in any way whatsoever, but to be fair, Trek has always been thirsty even since TOS because of Roddenberry himself.
For example, Roddenberry wanted Troi to have three or four breasts.
3rd season shouldve been just a subplot and not the whole season. start with the romulan war/ incursion rather than teasing it,.
