/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.

So is Jason Isaacs. But I checked out long before he did. Star Trek has lots of great actors. What they need currently is great writers that want to tell a star trek story.

SNW works despite the callbacks and familiar cast, not because of it. Uhura could be a different named character and the show would not change. Spock is the only part that would need to change. He's good in itz the actor and is his character, but they could explore the same themes and plots with a different romulan if they wanted to. It would be different without falling back on the half han part, but the difference would be more interesting.

Have a romulan that was not half human and was more conflicted in emotion than Spock.

SNW is why I don't have a lot of hope for whatever trek is next. That show smells like certain show runners lobbing in the dumbest ideas for stark trek, and a competent team of writers making it actually good.

"Hey let's have.. pike who.. knows his fate because of time crystals and... Hey y'know that romulan captain episode is really popular. Just do that again but modern" honestly a terrible idea. Somehow the episode is actually pretty decent though. Like you said, works despite everything.
