/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.

WHO s11e2 "The Ghost Monument"
VOY s7e7 "Body and Soul"
The Doctor is beyond any doubt and I trust them implicitly. Who knows which one you're even talking to with the other one, there's at least 17 different versions of them, all of whom have at best a basic idea how humans work beyond the medical stuff.
Edit: I was trying to be funny and make it ambiguous which one is which, but I failed lol
And then there's the one [formerly] from Gallifrey.
He became a master of disguise. Surprising that they hadn't considered the ability until late into the series.
Edit: I understood what I was playing off of. Just the ole multiple personality switcheroo. Not sure where the downvote stems from. We may require another doctor to assess the situation:
Maybe not that one.
I'm not Bri'ish. One week I decided to learn me some Doctor Who lore and history, seeing as how it's been on forever and people like it. It must be good right?
I gave up the second night. I'm sorry, but you guys can keep the Doctor.
It's an aquired taste. Very helter-skelter between actors/show-runners/decades. Meant to appeal to a younger crowd, but also occasionally nightmare inducing.
Edit: if I may make a recommendation, watch the episode "The Eleventh Hour" (series 5 episode 1, from 2010). Matt Smith's first full episode as The Doctor gives a solid primer for what can be expected from the show as a whole.
Some of the stuff i found was interesting. The angel statues was neat.
I stumbled across Doctor Who when I was five years old (Tom Baker, of course) and have been a fan ever since. I had no idea how to recommend it to an adult until just now -- thank you!
I've run across the question of how to break into Who a few times. Tried to come up with a list of introductory episodes: one that explains the basic premise, one light-hearted, one scary, one message heavy, yadda yadda. But each time, I'd always come back to "The Eleventh Hour" as the best foot forward.
Have you tried the original doctor who? I enjoyed those way more than nu-who; especially the capaldi stuff (which, as much as I liked the actor, the story arcs were just kinda bleh imo). I stopped watching after capaldi regenerated. Out of the nu-who though, I'd say (original) David Tennant/Christopher Eccleston > Matt Smith > capaldi ??? Other nu-whos.
