/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 is why we have classic Star Trek.

And The Orville.

I love BSG, and The Expanse, but not what comes to mind when I think alternative to Star Trek.

Even For All Mankind gets pretty dark at times.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Fair. I'm on a BSG rewatch (maybe 10 or so years since) and it's hitting all the right spots at the moment.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

For something that was a response to 9/11 it has aged very well.

[–] autonomous@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Paramount killed Trek long before this happened 🤷

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, Trek ended when Voyager ended. I will never be convinced otherwise.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

enterprise grew on me when I saw how bad it could get when discovery came out.

it's been a long road getting from there to here and I know it's been a long time since the show aired, but its time is finally near.

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I watched three seasons of Enterprise. Didn't finish it. I think I could have done without it. That was back in 2010, though. Things have gotten much, much worse since then. Maybe it does deserve a revisit.

I do like Scott Bakula. It's hard to not see him as Sam Beckett, though.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

It's hard to not see him as Sam Beckett, though.

it makes the ending easier to swallow.

[–] negativenull@piefed.world 19 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Trek may be dead, and now Dr Who may be dead. Marvel and Star Wars in decline.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Way to stay on the positive side.

[–] negativenull@piefed.world 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sorry. The Paramount deal is really bumming me out

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Well, it is your alt account cakeday! Got that goin' for ya.

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Decline? I figured it Star Wars died a while ago. For me, it ended with the Kyle Katarn erasure. He should be canon, dammit.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

So uhm... how many Hollywood Studios are left now? 1...2?

[–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

You can't be Anti-competive if you don't have anyone to compete with. /s

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 months ago

Too big to fail is ALSO too big to care.

The ONLY focus will be money.

[–] Banrik@fedia.io 9 points 3 months ago (2 children)

And we just lost out on the stargate revival too, as amazon after starting the the media push earlier this year, has now decided to kill it suddenly.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)
[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Ecause they didn't want stargate fans fucking wat

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

think about it. SG fans are a specific type of people. people who generally hate Jeff Bozos.

he's so petty I'm sure he had a hand in this decision.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

All this tells me is that there's a sequel where Spock, er, Star Trek miraculously comes back to life after a time.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm hoping!

Uh, the planet might blow up as part of the process, but...

[–] spacegoat@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Yup. Continued blind eye to antitrust laws and the world's first trillionaire.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

There’s no way Avatar survives this either.

(As in the bending one, not the blue people one).

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I’m a LOTR nut and we actually look at it as a good outcome if no more LOTR shit can be made, period.

I guess Trek is not like that, though a lot of people seem to think some shows/movies should never have been made.

Just trying to offer a positive spin on franchise death.

[–] limelight79@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

See? All that kneeling in front of the president helped them get what they wanted!

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

The title reminded me of one of my favorite indie albums by a band that died before they became villains and I thought you all would like them.

They’re called Rodeo Ruby Love and named after the singer’s grandmother or something. It’s kind of Weezer meets They Might Be Giants? Maybe?

Anyway, here’s a link if anyone cares: https://youtu.be/HgBfld0v6Dk

ETA: This is my favorite song on the album. By FAR. https://youtu.be/EJREjJJ6uN0

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for sharing. Mellow and folksy.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It gets a bit harder. Really I like how they (un)structure their songs. And the lyrics are pretty great.

“Little?”
