/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.

I’m watching S7E20 right now and the entire scene before the Defiant undocked from DS9 had that cinematic vibe you only get from a bonafide Hollywood movie.

Agreed... maybe because the series ended with such finality?

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 hours ago

Just make a movie about whatever the hell Sisko has been doing.

Also, it was because ds9 was a sleeper and everybody loved tng. Voyager also got the shaft in that. And I don't blame tng at all, but ds9 and voy should have gotten their time in the movie limelight. If anything, ds9 has the MOST potential for a comeback/reboot compared to the other two... Tng was "Picard, the era", voyager was "we're lost and will fix the borg problem kindve", but ds9 has too many problems and lose ends. Too many characters and what ifs. Maybe it's better that way though. Like when something as a cliffhanger stays awesome if you never touch it again, and as soon as you do, it erodes the original's legendary, untouchable status in your mind. Like maybe berserk should've just ended, maybe ff7 shouldn't have been remade, maybe Shrek should've ended at 1, and maybe star wars should've stopped at rouge one.

yea it had a whole arc which ended as it should. from beginning to end. TNG, enterprise was more episodic arcs than a whole series arc. nutrek for how bad they were, could not replicate DS9 series arcs.

i think any new trek series going foward, not showrunners lik kurtzman, should focus on other quadrants.

I'd like to see some 2nd contact with a few Delta quadrant groups. Have the Vidiians gotten over the phage? Did the remaining Varro find refuge or give anyone else an STI? I need answers.

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 1 points 48 minutes ago

I need a happy ending for the Silver Blood 😭

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

i think the phage was already cured, in the think tank episode, they said they found a cure for them. but it was off-screen of course. Also exploring gamma quadrant? and the rest of delta quadrant.

Good memory.

SEVEN: An artificial intelligence.

KURROS: The mind of mathematician and the soul of an artist. I'm afraid he'd much rather be modelling a fractal sculpture than analysing the data of our latest astronomical scan. And now you have met us all. A small group of minds, but we have helped hundreds of clients. We turned the tide in the war between the Bara Plenum and the Motali Empire. Re-ignited the red giants of the Zai Cluster. Just recently, we found a cure for the Vidiian phage.

JANEWAY: The Vidiians?

KURROS: You would hardly recognise them now. Just last month we helped retrieve a Lyridian child's runaway pet. A subspace mesomorph, I might add. We had to invent a whole new scanning technology just to find it.

JANEWAY: And what did you ask for as compensation?

KURROS: One of their transgalactic star charts. The best map of the known galaxy ever created.

Feels a bit cheap, considering how much time was spent with them earlier in the show.

At any rate, there's always more to be explored.

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 1 points 46 minutes ago

I actually liked it. It's kind of like beating up Worf. They used a former enemy whose power we are aware of, and showed how trivial they are before Art Vandaley

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

There were still talks of a proper film, but it never came together.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I would've loved to have seen it. I'll bet the killed off characters hampered the options

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

Would really deflate the drama of doing so, only to bring them right back...
