/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

You sound like the people that hated TNG when it came out. Things change with every new Star Trek. Lower Decks is way more than dick jokes, Strange New Worlds has been fantastic, and Discovery found it's slot in Season 3, and then improved on it in season 4, just like TNG. I'm excited to see what all three shows do with their next season

I've not watched SNW and perhaps dropped out of discovery too soon. S1, 2, and what I saw of 3 wasn't my favorite.

I mean, I gotta be honest, Picard somewhat ruined discovery for me. I get that they aren't the same show but they very much have a lot of the same feels going on.

Hold your tongue until you watch strange new worlds.

You are literally taking one experience and using it to pain all of new trek. At that point are you even a fan anymore?

Strange new worlds has been heralded as a true merge of old and new trek faithfully for years and here you are passing on it altogether based on a few seasons of disco and Picard which are specifically less like old trek. Get a grip or leave. You don’t need to like everything but don’t talk shit about things you’ve not watched

He's watched at least 50 hours of new-Trek, I think that's far more than what's reasonable to judge it. Chill out.

The other comment is a bit over the top, but SNW was basically custom crafted to appeal to people who didn't care for those two. It's brighter (like, literally), more optimistic, more episodic, more grounded in the lore, gives more of the cast room to breathe, and occasionally it's even intentionally silly. I guess if somebody is done then they're done, but complaints from people like them were clearly taken into account when writing and producing the show.
