/c/TenFoward: 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. 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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

MODERATORS
Difference with every Star Trek that came before and what we have now:
Every first season of Star Trek after TOS was pretty bad. When you have just the first season of a Trek series to go off on then the reaction to something mediocre is pretty normal.
Season 1 TNG had... problems.
Season 1 DS9 is boring as fuck.
But these series got better and earned the respect of the fans with later seasons.
NuTrek has had 17 or so seasons across 5 series and it's STILL trash! The current executives have chosen quantity over quality and don't give a damn about improving anything.
Fully agree with you.
TNG, DS9 are heavyweights with countless great (and a number of not so great) episodes. The characters are very likable and example figures in life. The stories were mostly good, loads of great and awesome stories. The cinematography was just nice and calm, the ships were places where people could actually live and looked beautiful. The techno babble was at least rooted in something. It was positive.
What we have now is quite literally opposite of all that. The cinematography is now all quick cuts, weird angles and basically "edgy". The characters are egocentric and just plain awful, especially in discovery. Ships are no longer places where people would actually live, it's all dark and broody, swearing is common because reasons and remember that time that in TNG someone said merde? That is the exact same! Now we do visible torture, character histories are cherry pick optional so characters that were on an arc of redemption and show wisdom are now lesbian dual pistol wielding ninja mass murderers.. not that I care about anyone's sexual preferences, seriously don't, but if a character is one don't make it another just to tick a checkbox. If you want to have a ship full of transgenders, then by all means do that, just don't use existing characters for that (except maybe dax?)
And who can be surprised by any of it? All classic trek was always made by people who loved trek and who were with it for long times. Nu trek is made by people who self professed never even eat he'd star trek, don't really care about it, and prefer to use the show to shoehorn their political views, so we get whatever the hell those things were that they called Klingons but we're actually trump fans, I sht you not.
Another show came along, called the Orville. It was created by a huge fan of classic trek and it frigging shows. Its a ship where I want to live and work. Lighting is actually normal, wow! It has nice and relatable characters in story lines that actually make you think about morals and ethics... Sounds familiar? It's an awesome show, though even there season three kinda suffers from the cgi over storyline... It's sad that a non trek show does trek better than star trek itself now.
