/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. 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.

It's not star trek. It's all sci-fi flavored action with no moral dilemma or demonstration that the human spirit can evolve. Let it die.
edit: and shameless pandering to fans - looking at you Picard
The literal first episode of the series would disagree with you.
It's had a few good episodes. That's why I said SNW is the best of the bunch. But it's still a low ratio of good to bad. The current crop of executives, producers and writers need to go. The only way for that to happen is a hard reset on the finances.
It's like when your grandmother is in hospice care on chemo. Sure, they can extend her life for a few months with drugs and invasive treatments. But what about the quality of her life? She's bedridden in a soulless understaffed hospital that's sole purpose is to suck every last insurance dollar out of her. Her family doesn't want to see her in that state so she's ignored and lonely and losing her mind.
That's star trek right now. Let it die.
edit: then to further the analogy, we can reboot grandma again later with a better healthcare system
Oh, look!! A troll!!!
Not a troll. A real person with an opinion that new star trek doesn't scratch that itch.
I'm inclined to agree with you. You're not a troll at all. Nu-Trek just doesn't capture the charm of the series. Some might say it's an evolution, I say it's slapping a modern action/drama template on the franchise. It's low effort TV.
But, SNW is still very enjoyable. I can't say that for Disco. I think it has to do with the fact that SNW is not based on overarching, fast-paced action-drama.
So far I've watched all of SNW with the fam. But I only made it through season 4 of The Burnham show before I gave up. And after the disaster of Picard season 1's ending - I had zero patience for that one. Yikes. "We're religious extremists which have feared an android apocalypse for a thousand years. But you're cool, Mr P. We'll set aside a literal millennia of dogma and doctrin while the very scenario our beliefs are founded upon takes place right in front of us because you gave a great 45 second speech."
So don't watch it then.
