/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.

This show is pretty fire back in the day, they had some hyper intelligent dolphin doing recon for them

[–] AngryRobot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Named Darwin. They had some way of translating his dolphin sounds to a weird synthesized voice that was probably voiced by an actor.

I only watched it because I fell in love with Stacey Haiduk watching her as Lana Lang in Superboy

The first season was really good. The second was labored at times. The third was... something else.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But it's got Mark Hamill so that's not nothing.

No, he was a shapeshifting reptiloid alien trying to get back home

i just recently downloaded this/added it to my library last year. it did not age well. it was pretty awesome back in the day, but its kinda hard to watch now

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

I did exactly the same thing.

I feel obligated to subject myself to this. But I appreciate the warning.

[–] Kyle@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

I've been wanting to as well out of nostalgia but I know it will be bad by today's standards, or even adult standards in general.

So I'm not going to do it.... Yet.

I remember being fond of the first season, but it was definitely "wet star trek," complete with a Tiger Beat suitable version of Wesley (RIP Jonathan Brandis, who got chewed up and spit out by Hollywood), especially by the end of season 2 when I stopped watching, apparently along with everyone else.

[–] procrastitron@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I watched all the seasons.

It was kind of poetic that a show about a submarine went so far off the deep end.

[–] superkret@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

Did they ever jump a shark though?

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

There were dozens of us who watched season 3.

Dozens!
