/c/TenFoward: 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. 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.

I still say 'doctor fucks candle ghost' is better than 'captain and pilot turn into amphibians, have babies, then get turned back into people but the babies stay on the planet.'
"And despite The Doctor knowing how to reverse this side-effect, Voyager doesn't ever use the tech again." Don't forget that part.
Isn't that Voyager though? I was just talking about TNG. I haven't made it that far in Voyager yet. I'm currently watching it. So far I'm not impressed, but I'm going to wait until at least season 3 to pass judgement since even TNG and DS9 don't really pick up until later seasons.
Seasons 4 & 5 of Voyager are ita strongest. When it was still airing and in the final season I got my first job and bought a bunch of vhs tapes to record the newest season as it aired, and I started 'best of' tapes from reruns. They were dominated by those two seasons.
Uh, Voyager Had a very ruff start and is objectively garbage until the end of season 3. After that it has a few cool episodes. But then it also makes the Borg boring by overusing them.
It can't be worse than Picard. Every time they wanted some hand wavey magic they'd just go "Borg tech!" rather than try to explain it. It was so bad by the end of the series that I didn't even want to watch it anymore, despite having my favorite cast and beautiful new SFX.
Ah, sorry, yeah. I thought you were talking about Star Trek as a whole.
There is an awful TNG episode where the whole crew devolves into lizards and other animals. I just remembered that right now, but I don't remember what it's called.

Does Voyager get better after season one? I'm kind of on the fence if I should continue watching or not.
I think so, but others do not. It's definitely one of the more contentious series.
Which series do you think is best after TNG and DS9?
Lower Decks.
Thanks!
I think they were joking. Do NOT watch Lower Decks until you've watched a lot of other Star Trek because it's got endless references to other shows, especially their plot holes, and you won't get any of it.
I've seen all of TOS, all of DS9, and all of TNG 2 or 3 times, plus all of the movies at least once. Oh, and 5 episodes of SNW, all of Picard, and 3/4 of the first season of Voyager. Amazingly that still leaves a lot of ground to cover.
It gets better
Yay!
I absolutely love voyager… a few episode are my all time favorite Star Trek episodes. Just force yourself to watch the whole thing, it does get better after season 3 and some of the best episodes are in the last season.
Yes there are some bad episodes, especially in the beginning, but imo the good far outweighs the bad.
As someone who is only trek-curious, the problem I often have in this sub is finding fucking amazing shit like this but not knowing which episode it is! How the fuck do I even massage that animorph broken family story into a search query?
And I am certainly not going to put 'Doctor fucks candle ghost' into Google.
Update: I guess I lied, because I certainly did put it into Google. Should I buy this scented candle? https://files.catbox.moe/fpq4i8.png
The amphibian one is called Threshold. It's in Voyager.
I promise you that you can Google and figure out what we're talking about almost every time. "Doctor fucks candle ghost" is pretty much what everyone says about that episode and most people only know it that way and not that the episode name is Sub Rosa.
I can tell you the candle ghost happened between the episodes Time's Arrow and Wolf 358, look for the ones that focus on Crusher
