/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.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

No more calls please, we have a winner
If this post got your attention, give the short-lived Hyperdrive a shot. It's much more Trek than Red Dwarf and leans more comedy than sci-fi in similar ways. As a "normal people just working a job in space" show, it now watches like a BBC template for The Orville. Hey, it even has Nick Frost^1^ and Miranda Hart in it.
1 - Simon Pegg feels suspiciously absent, although he did land a part in an actual Trek movie not long after this.
If it leans more comedy than sci-fi, wouldn't it be more Red Dwarf than Trek?
It's more red dwarf than trek, but it's more trek than red dwarf.
Aaah, got it.
Good point.
thaunk you four honouring muy culture
You're only meant to blow the bloody space doors off.
I wonder if the Cockney rhyme “Derry and toms” is partially influenced by the Northern Irish town that had fighting during the Troubles. (And was later the setting for a cracker coming-of-age comedy series.)
Referring not just to the famous London store, but to "derry" as to "have a derry on" meaning to dislike, referring to "down on", meaning prejudiced against, from Derry Down in Ireland.
