/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.

Many low effort, filler episodes in this season. One episode they're muppets, another they're on a TV soap opera...
they were all fun
I haven't watched in a while, but what you're saying sounds like star trek is now basically community with phasers instead of paintball guns
Strange news worlds have been leaning into that lately, about half the episodes are more like Star Trek, the other half is fun genre playing.
let me know when they do their anime episode
you fucking asshole!!!
they just cancelled the show, there's not going to be another season.
and now I really want that episode that will never happen!!!!
There's one more season after this one. Season 5 will be the last.
I, too, thought they were all fun. Especially the musical.
These complaints that the new Trek is too silly or ridiculous are those who never really watched ToS. Or just view it through crazy levels of nostalgia. There was some downright weird shit!
That said, even without the precedent, the screwball episodes of SNW are awesome.
They’re anti-whimsy and I won’t stand for it. I am vehemently pro-whimsy.
My one and only complaint about the puppet episode is that they tried to dismiss it as a dream. An unnecessary concession to the anti-whimsy crowd!
As am I!
I suspect the viewership is small, their run is nearly over, and the creators are in a mood to do whatever silly things that take their fancy. Fun, in spirit, but de gustibus non est disputandum, I guess.
I'm sad to say that I found the whole thing to be a low effort, filler series.
