"The greatest suspension of disbelief you'll have to get over isn't the transporters, it's humanity being among the most noble sapient species in the galaxy.

If you can swallow that wildly fantastical pill, it's amazing."

-my standard pitch, then when they get to the mirror verse I tell them our timeline is about to get a cameo.

Not starting them off with Enterprise, I see...

[-] AllonzeeLV@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Honestly I go TNG, ToS is for if they get hooked and are willing to look over the modest production values of the time.

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 5 points 3 months ago

Same! (Unless it's someone who likes a to roast their media a little, then I start them off with TOS "Savage Curtain" -- the Abe Lincoln episode. Whatever sets the hook!)

[-] Okokimup@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago

Why isn't everyone having fun? I specifically requested it.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 months ago

Insert a garden hose sized ethernet cable into their neck and watch them turn green and grow a circuit board on their face.

I SAID! .... FUN WILL COMMENCE!!!!

Watching your first Star Trek episode.

[-] Glitch@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 months ago

I've always loved TNG, it was on the TV when I was growing up and spent a lot of time watching things. I hadn't checked out anything other than TNG until late last year, but I'm now obsessed. DS9 was amazing, Voyager is currently amazing me, Picard (different flavor of show but still hit well for the most part), lower decks, disco, snw all are amazing too.

I think Deep Space Rhapsody is one of my favorite episodes of television I've ever seen. That's just like, my opinion, man.

Looking forward to short treks and enterprise, then finally the 4k ai upscaled version of TOS (saving for last idk why)

I even have model kits of Voyager and the Defiant on the way <3

What should I get into next? Orville? Battlestar? The Expanse?

What should I get into next? Orville? Battlestar? The Expanse?

If you haven't watched any of them, watch them all, all 3 are superb series!

The Orville has a specific Star Trek feeling, the other 2 are their own unique universe. The Expanse is the most hard sci-fi and the best of the 3.

[-] Glitch@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 months ago

Awesome, thanks!

[-] ruben@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 3 months ago

Stargate SG-1 is really good in my opinion. Also after that is Stargate Atlantis.

[-] Glitch@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

Love having a lot of content to get into the lore more!

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Firefly.

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

There's not much "getting into" with 14 episodes.

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

That's the advantage!

[-] bottleofchips@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 months ago

I feel like in the span of these three comments, I’ve just been through the seven stages of grief.

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

You made me forcefully breathe out of my nose.

[-] Glitch@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago

Oh yeah, firefly is among my top tier fandoms, good looking out!

[-] spittingimage@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Babylon 5. It aired around the same time DS9 first did.

[-] Glitch@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago

Oh nice, that was not on my radar at all, thank you!

[-] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 8 points 3 months ago

You get two options.

Star Trek, or LotREE full marathon, no breaks, bring your own jug.

[-] ceenote@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

And a second jug to drink out of.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

One for efficiency and commitment

[-] charonn0@startrek.website 4 points 3 months ago

Both, please.

[-] Coldgoron@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

All of season 1 TNG…

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Preceding this is when you hand them your orgasm-inducing Google Glass video game knock-off.

[-] SomeAmateur@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

Like the VR system from the Star Wars Christmas Special?

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

It won't track and sell your data, but you might get an STI.

/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.
