/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I will admit there's a few scenes here and there that were pretty good Trek. Just a shame it's embedded in the rest. I don't even mind the overall idea, just the execution is bad. And some of the resolutions of mysteries are...well, stupid. It's a bit like GoT all over again. I know writers and directors read their fan posts everywhere, so why don't they go with the best fan theories instead of...whatever shit they come up with?
Been watching through and was really thrown by the end of Season 2, where Tilly just... knows a Queen that's integral to the plot? Apparently there's a companion show of short side episodes? (also how the hell is she still a cadet? that whole side plot seems to just have been forgotten except for the occasional remark)
The character was interesting, the show has it's ups and downs, but that's only a tad better than Palpatine showing back up in a special™️ Fortnite event.
If you have extended universe stuff, that's lovely. If you reference it, that's fine. If you rely on it, that's troubling. If I only learn about it because I had to google WTF was happening and whether I'd completely missed an episode, that's bad.
