/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.

Looks absolutely insufferable.
To be fair, it wouldn't be the first time a Trek premiere's promotional image looked like a poorly-done bag of ass evoking the general garbage stylings of the era.
I can't help but still feel excited for this premier, from this ad. Maybe they knew it didn't matter how they presented it, haha.
Also, they really underestimated Marina Sirtis' impact on the series, based on her placement here.
They also overestimated Wesley's crew commission. By rights he should be wearing one of his hideous Season 1 sweaters.
Yo Wonderbread, how’s that translation coming?
I’m pregnant.
I’m shocked it’s taken this long for someone to post that piece of comedy gold.
Is this just 90210 in space?
There's a significant lack of excitement for "90210 in space" in this thread, so I'm gonna try to defend the idea.
It sounds kind of fun, to me. I liked NuTrek, though. The part of NuTrek I disliked was it's snap back to status-quo before the end of the first film.
Seeing inexperienced cadets do cool space stuff, I'm down for.
My biggest concern is with the new ownership. The lack of any announced queer rep, SNW’s tepid third season, and even the pointed heteronormative attire in this poster all seem in line with a Trek that’s not going to push for anything progressive.
I agree with you that a Star Trek teen drama has potential though. Star Trek was built to encompass a variety of genres. Most around here seem to have appreciated the Star Trek animated comedy, and I don’t hear much denigrating of Bakula’s West Wing in space proposal, so I don’t see why 90210 in space should be such a punchline.
Shiny happy people holding hands
I'm as fatigued with bad Star Trek as I am with bad Star Wars now.
I'm honestly not excited to hear of any new Star Trek until they have a major change to show runners, or enough people who enjoy classic and 90s Trek come out and say, "oh wait this new one is great".
It's not for us anymore, friend. They'll milk the franchises we love until they're just a husk, then dump it. Some upstart may revive it, but then it just gets put back into the cycle.
Welcome to pure greed capitalism; fuck you, pay me. Tomorrow is the next asshole's problem.
I'm hoping it's a joke.
Maybe someone said "make a stupid generic teen drama poster and watch people lose their shit."
I like all Trek. (To preempt any whatabout responses, here) I consistently downvote and dismiss all "NuTrek" whiners. I don't even like the term. And don't even get me started on the "The Orville is the only good/real Trek in the last blah blah blah" MFers. But this has me a little worried. Is Tilly going to be the least annoying part of the show?
Please be a joke.
And I read that Tilly is only in a couple episodes.
The Orville is the best of pretty much all the new Trek. It's a new story, it's not a retread, it's well done, and best of all it's not Discovery.
I want to like this, but wasn't I promised Commander Tilly. Where's Commander Tilly?!
Another stupid teen drama... Pass
Another stupid teen drama...in space
Haha.
ST:90210
Can't see the Klingon's arms, but does Starfleet Academy have an admission requirement that one be improbably swole?
For the men? Yes. Women must be slender with nice legs.
Wait, what if this is an in-universe recruitment ad?
Interesting that the Klingon cadet is in blue. There are ways that political tension around cloaking technology could play into his stories.
Why does it look like a poster for The OC or 90210?
All the other parts aside, how on earth did they make this look so shitty? The quality is awful, colors are too saturated, the lighting is clearly fake, and everyone's skin looks like they slathered Vaseline on themselves.
Please don't make it a generic US high school drama. There's already enough US-defaultism in Star Trek.
Also, the image is glossy, it feels like AI generated

I'm really starting to believe.
It's going to basically be Saved By The Bell but star trek.
Star Trek: High School Polycule…? Is that where we’re going?
I’m so confused

What the fuck am I seeing?
My boy! Look at what they've done to you!
Paramount: We need to ensure this new show attracts as many people as possible while maintaining a strong identity of Star Trek. How can we hit those points with the Ad campaign?
Marketing: Well our focus groups are saying that a lot of Star Trek fans are still yearning for something closer to the aesthetic of 1990's Star Trek
Paramount: I zoned out there for a bit but I did hear aesthetic of 1990's. Make that the core of advertising!

As long as the Ellison's control Star Trek it will never have a return to form. So this will be as bland as SNW S3 was when Fascism is taking hold all over the world. I feel classic Trek would have something to say about that.

The more I see of this the more I realize that it's probably not going to be for me. That's fine, I'll give it a try anyway.

Not sure if this is real or just a piss-take.
Reminds me of this old meme:
I can't even tell if this is real any more.
We already had Star Trek Last of the Summer Wine with Picard, and a live action Lower Decks so anything is possible.

Still not gonna watch it. The poster neither makes it seem interesting, nor does it indicate someone learned from the debacle that was SNW S3.
Plus that fucking college jacket.
