Welcome to a Star Trek community where you’re free to chat and share your opinions about all things Trek!

I want to have a place where fans can come to praise, discuss, and even criticise things in the Star Trek franchise. No show or movie is perfect, and I don't believe people should be silenced for having a dissenting opinion. That being said, there are still a few rules.

Be Nice - No personal attacks. You can disagree with someone's opinion, but it needs to stop there.

No Slurs - This is applicable to ethnicity, religion, gender, or anything else.

No Adult Content - Keep it family friendly.

No Spamming or Trolling - Consistently spamming comments or trolling is just not needed.

Keep Topics Trek Related - This is a Star Trek community, so of course discussion should stay in that area! That means no real world politics.

I made it through the first two episodes but I gave up halfway through the first episode when 'full impulse' was apparently 0 kph.

I'm watching ds9 now. The effects are shit, the sets are a bit shoddy, but fuck me, the actors act and the writing doesn't want me to pull a Van Gogh.

Yeah, I may circle back and try it again sometime, but I definitely wasn't impressed with what I saw so far. It's a shame, because I was hoping I would like it. I definitely agree about the writing of DS9, it's my favorite Trek show. I can easily ignore less than stellar set design and special effects, but the story and acting has to be good.

Yeah the first season of DS9 is more rough than the rest (same issue as TNG and VOY), but it is a really good show.
