/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Legitimately a better Star Trek show than any of the modern new Star Trek shows

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

Eh, I'd say on par. Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds are excellent.

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I like Lower Decks, and it's certainly Star Trek-y, but it feels more Star Trek-adjacent to me being so vastly tonally different.

Perhaps I need to give SNW another try, it didn't vibe with me immediately but I didn't outright dislike it in the way that I disliked Discovery and Picard

Mate season 1 of Picard as a continuation of Nemesis is fucking brilliant. It literally gives you everything you want and so much more. How fucking fickle are you fans, for fucks sake.... If you can't find anything to like about Picard you're just wrong.

[–] FuckoBoingo@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Picard (the show) is many years after Nemesis, it doesn't make sense how they forced him to lead a ragtag band of space outlaws after years of settling down.

Picard (the character) went by the book if possible, and it took extreme circumstances for his moral compass to override his officer duty. It's not the same character in the new show; the original Picard was coherent with his principles, the new Picard behaves like Han Solo.

Tbh I couldn't stand it, felt to misogynistic as well as the episode about the trans child and they handled that horribly, felt to much like a start trek for incels.

Just my opinion. Don't assault me...

[–] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

the episode about the trans child and they handled that horribly

Definitely no worse than a TNG season 1 episode.

[–] CptEnder@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Look I'm a simple man, I just want Alara to crack me open like a jar of pickles.

I really hope they get a final season to wrap up everything. It really grew into a complex story.

[–] LopensLeftArm@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I miss Alara, really curious as to why they got rid of her. Great character!

[–] hunleyd@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

The actress left as she was cast as the lead on a new show. It didn't pan out.

I mean, this is like "Can we stop at Pizza Hut?" and mom breaks out the Lunchables pizzas on the ride home instead. Not better or worse, just smaller and there when you needed it.

[–] harry_balzac@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The best Star Trek series.

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

Started a little too goofy, but found a balance by season 2. Tackles tough topics just as well as any Trek. Just sad it's probably done for good after switching platforms and the writer's strike.

Yeah, but the Mr. Potato head gag was possibly one of the finest scifi jokes ever.

[–] Maven@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

My favorite joke is the sandwich in s3. That joke had multiple episodes of set up and when the punchline finally hit it felt SOOO good. I lost my shit.
