Welcome to a Star Trek community where you’re free to chat and share your opinions about all things Trek!

I want to have a place where fans can come to praise, discuss, and even criticise things in the Star Trek franchise. No show or movie is perfect, and I don't believe people should be silenced for having a dissenting opinion. That being said, there are still a few rules.

Be Nice - No personal attacks. You can disagree with someone's opinion, but it needs to stop there.

No Slurs - This is applicable to ethnicity, religion, gender, or anything else.

No Adult Content - Keep it family friendly.

No Spamming or Trolling - Consistently spamming comments or trolling is just not needed.

Please keep topics Trek related or Trek adjacent for the most part, and have fun!

I always struggled to care about the characters, which to me is the most important part of the shows! And being mostly focused on one character also didn't help, as you don't learn a lot about everyone else. In SNW I think it only took 3-4 episodes before I liked every main character.

I think Trek has almost always had an issue writing good romantic relationships, and I've never figured out why. A lot of the friendships often feel pretty natural, so it just never made sense why the romances were usually awkward.
