/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.

Wait they wanted the franchise to end
My understanding was they had heard TNG referred to as what saved the franchise but didn’t agree with that sentiment. They were trying to argue (with no citation, just pure anger) that the TOS cast saved themselves.
At some point the conversation shifted towards complaints about modern conventions (I should have said I overheard this at STLV). They complained about the modern pricing and seating arrangements we have today. That lead them to mention the year the convention hall named the vendor’s room after Roddenberry. This seemed to upset the person even more and say that it was a disgrace that anyone let the TNG cast attend the convention that following year. Possibly I missed some context that explained why they felt so adamantly negative about TNG. All I could say was that the opinion being given seemed to ignore the fact that Roddenberry created that series. If it was anything else, I would understand. This I was having trouble understanding.
EDIT: The cherry on top was this person was wearing a Kirk heartthrob shirt.
EDIT 2: I understand there are people who only care about TOS and have no interest in the rest of the franchise. I’ve met those people. I respect that. But this person seems very upset with the fact that the franchise exist beyond TOS.
