/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.

Characters, characters, characters. 'It's about the Characters, Stupid'. 10 episodes does not leave the space for them to develop.

Nonsense. Firefly created a fantastic villain, Jubal Early, in the space of just one episode. Good writers don't need 20 episodes to do that.

Agreed. And Pike, Spock, Uhara, and pretty much everyone on SNW are great characters. But look at every single main and recurring character on DS9. Watch the first episode, and the last. Even Rom is a drastically different person by the end. Quark, Garak, BASHIR. That kind of change just cannot happen with 10 episodes per, especially not with a ~20 person ensemble.

I had forgotten about Early. Such an odd choice to name him after a Confederate general. Apparently said general was an ancestor of Nathan Fillion, which I suppose is the reason for it. Richard Brooks really nailed that part, though.
