/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.

This has to be bait.
Otherwise congrats on being the 1st person ever I've seen online to prefer Voyager, TOS, Picard, and Disco to TNG.
I can believe it if they stopped early enough. Season 1 is pretty rough.
I thought it was widely accepted that season 1 and 2 were not very good. And the skirt among other things in the show arw definitely dated and at times sexist. Im not sure what you guys are defending? lol
I love Star Trek but I don’t pretend some of the crap they have pumped out in the past is gold
They were transitioning from 80s to 90s TV. This isn't like the millionth boring anime series that fans say "gets good after episode 150", it was literally the 2nd try at Trek ever. No one's saying season 1 or 2 is gold (although there are good eps in there), but the first season is like TOS with growing pains. There's a reason it got 7 seasons, and if it'd been a total failure none of the other shows would exist.
If you like Voyager, DS9, and Enterprise there's no way you wouldn't like TNG. Giving up on the entire run because the first couple seasons weren't great after an almost 20 year hiatus from TOS is why your position seems a bit strange.
Continuing to watch a show that isnt good in the hope it gets better in a few seasons, now Thats strange. It’s also why I won’t watch game of thrones, I know the ending sucks now so what’s the point. And you’re right, im a TOS fan. I don’t like ds9 and voyager. I like TOS, SNW and similar
I mean, Voyager is also my favorite Trek, but I would place both STD and Picard at the bottom of the list. But I only watched TOS in stretches.
