/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.

I really enjoyed this series. Hope it continues its been a long road.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

It looks like it will!

a third season is set for release in 2025, and a fourth season has been ordered.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thank the Koala. I was concerned after Paramount's fuckery and sale that it would get axed after season 3.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The fact that there are 5 seasons of Disco and not 7 of SNW already is a shame, it’s a far better show.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

It’s worth mentioning that disc makes more sense if you assume everyone is inhaling the magic space spores.

I wish we had gotten a mention of cell degradation from repeated transport suspension before this was resolved, like we saw in Counterpoint on Voyager, but I'm willing to accept that M'benga missed it, since they didn't seem to expect it even in Voyager's time

[–] Lemming421@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago

Given that he seemed to develop the technique to keep mortally wounded soldiers alive, a bit of cell degradation was really the least of his worries when he got them out of the buffer…

Same with his daughter. “Is she still alive? Is she still dying of an incurable condition? Right, back in the buffer!”

Wouldn’t discussing tng relics episode be more relevant since this happened before voyager?

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What was that one? I mentioned Voyager because Counterpoint is my favorite episode, so I remember it well

[–] iamjackflack@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Same thing I think. Enterprise encountered the USS Jenolan caught in a Dyson sphere. Scotty had trapped himself in the transporter to save himself and was in there for 75 years. They pulled him out and he sadly realized he wasn’t fit to help in current day and went about his retirement.

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 1 points 1 month ago

Oh, gotcha. I do remember that episode. I think Counterpoint, in this case, is more relevant, because it deals with repeated suspension, just like M'benga's use of the transporter on his daughter.

[–] iamjackflack@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

I thought Scotty did this in TNG before O’Brien

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

Well no, because when Scotty did it it was cool, because everything Scotty did was cool!

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

M'Benga was at least on the Enterprise before Scotty. Scotty could have done it earlier I suppose.

[–] Z3k3@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Scotty did it after m,benga but before O'brien as he was on his way till retirement when the Dyson sphere Caught him

Please excuse this mess of a reply every other word was a fight against my auto correct

[–] GeorgimusPrime@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Bonus points if they get adopted a highly advanced and powerful being when they get out

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Honestly, this (and a few smaller canon-shredding gripes) almost made me rage quit SNW in the first episode or two.

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Everyone raves about SNW but just the sheer amount of wacky quips made give it up.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I get that. But then, strangely, by season 2 I started to anticipate and look forward to them.

Next spinoff: Star Trek: Buffy, the Salt Vampire Slayer

When did O’Brien do this? Wasn’t the first instance in “Relics”?
