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.

Keep Topics Trek Related - This is a Star Trek community, so of course discussion should stay in that area! That means no real world politics.

That's exactly how I was. My first Trek was TNG, and I was hurt when they announced DS9. I felt like they were trying to push out TNG. I mean, they were, but as a kid I didn't understand how all of that worked. I hate I missed out on it back then, because it's a fantastic show.

There was definitely some competition there! My first Trek was TOS (many years after first run!), and when I tried TNG I didn't really like it. I saw people saying it got better after the first few seasons, so I skipped ahead, still felt the same way about it, and ended up quitting. I was thinking that maybe I just wasn't going to like the newer shows, but decided to give DS9 a try. It got me hooked by the first or second episode, and I've been a fan ever since! Later on I did go back to TNG and was able to appreciate it a lot more too.
