/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

I did watch it, that's how I know I don't like it it didn't take everyone else's views and make them my own.
Same, I needed more after SNW and wasn't quite ready for the way 80's - '00s era Trek was filmed. I actually liked the first two seasons and thought season 3 was okay.
Spoiler alert:
But then we learned about the source of the burn.
And then season 4 happened. And then season 5 happened. It felt like all of these were leaning into my least favorite things about Discovery. By the finale, I was fast forwarding through everything just to get through it.
Watching TNG for the first time now and loving it way more than Disco :)
Yeah, I got through season 3 and just let it go after that. Like the other seasons, the first half had me, but the endings killed it for me. And the endings just kept. Getting. Worse.
Sounds like you saved yourself 2 more aneurysms haha.
I actually liked a lot of S1 and S2 (S2 being peak because enterprise crew just carry the hell out of everything) but I also like edgy and dark media and can overlook a lot if the tone is done in a way that grabs me.
S3 looked promising until the "big reveal". Couldn't take it seriously after that. Forced myself thorugh S4 and S5 but those were just straight up annoying. I can't stand it when things go wrong just because the protagonists are being stupid, or getting held back by some weird moral stance they clearly didn't have 3 episodes ago. What's even worse is when it's so generic I can accurately predict how a 40-60 minute episode will end within the first 10.
There's so much to look forward to! It is a bit dated and I watch it through rose-colored glasses, but even with that in mind, it's a good show.
Coming directly from Discovery and SNW, the sets and how everything was shot definitely felt dated at first I won't lie. But it took a couple of false starts, and then actually watching it for more than 10 minutes for me to be super immersed and forget about all of that. Still on Season 1 and I really like the stories being told so far. I'm watching an episode here and there when I'm in the mood but I get the feeling I'm gonna reach a point where I binge the whole thing in an unhealthy amount of time haha.
My intro to Trek was Lower Decks so I'm also excited to see all of the crazy stuff they referenced in passing there :D
I salute your integrity 🫡
