/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.

Lower decks! Lower decks! Lower decks!
not gonna sub to paramount not gonna sub to paramount not gonna sub to paramount.
I don't subscribe to disney either. so I've basically missed out of anything that wasn't on netflix. and I'm probably going to cancel netflix too.
You have an objection to sailing the high seas?
yeah I'm one of those idiots who think artists should be paid for their labors :|
I know, it's like... so last century. I did some arrrrrgghmatey kinda stuff when I was younger but not since like... newsgroup releases back in the protoweb days.
Got a blu-ray player?
I get that, but if you'll never pay for paramount, I imagine if you asked the artists whether they'd rather have their work stolen or never viewed at all I suspect they'd choose the former.
Mail some cash to the artists then.
There, I've fixed it for you.
Now do like the rest of us Orions and watch the best Star Trek since TNG.
ech.... I'm one of those ancient weirdos who want artists to get paid for their work. and I'm already in front of screens too much for work and gaming, corpulent etc.,.
And you think production is going to share their profits from a finished series with the artists?
That I get 100%
I don't know if it's still applicable to productions taking place today across the board, but SAG still exists so I have to believe a large number of hollywood productions still give residuals to people........?

I know for many it's a pittance but better something than nothing at all.
I'm probably thinking too much into all this and will catch up sometime in the future after the apocalypse. thanks for the insight.
If I'm getting this article correctly, they're only getting paid for the success of the show within 90 days of release on a streaming platform. Everything else is based on the streaming service buying the license to show the series.
So the only way to maybe get them some additional pay would be for you to purchase it through some non streaming method like buying a dvd from amazon, or to wait for paramount to sell the license to a new streaming service and you take part in the whatever percentage of the service is required to watch the show within 90 days for them to get a bonus.
No.
