/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. 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 way. Everybody in LD is highly intelligent and competent... and has no professionalism at all.

Yeah, Lower Decks is full of competent people, they're just literal cartoon characters and everything is played up for jokes. But as seen in the crossover, their real selves are a bit more toned down.

Not to mention that they did what none of the other shows even got close to: They proved that artificial intelligence can have a consciousness beyond just hardware and software.

spoilerThey created an AI that ascended to a higher plane of existence.

Nah, DS9 is much better described as a polycule.

The creepy guy that Kira's mom referred to as "Uncle Duke."

Make Cardassia Great Again!

Accurate except for the LD one.

"An unholy bastion of mediocrity." Man, I want that on my tombstone.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 7 points 7 hours ago

It needs to go deeper, and ask the tough questions!

omg

[–] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 13 points 9 hours ago

It gets more accurate the more recent the series.

Though I would argue the LD cast has one standard-issue braincell and they all have to share

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 13 points 9 hours ago

Laughed, don’t care about accuracy

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 8 points 8 hours ago

VOY fucking got me

[–] palebluethought@lemmy.world 18 points 11 hours ago

It's definitely very Tumblr, that's for sure

[–] SatyrSack@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Negative, captain

[–] CM400@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

Sure, an argument like that could be made. I guess…
