/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. 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.

The finest crew anyone who is insane enough could want.

I can not upvote this for not being the correct zev, sorry.

I'm more of a 'there were only the movies, no series' guy.

Thanks!

I only just started watching Lexx (free on Fawesome), movies 1 & 2. What's the issue with the series?

[–] Strider@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well, lexx is trashy to begin with but the series just really sucks in comparison.

But go ahead, feel free to explore. In my opinions it's one of the things that makes the former worse by existing.

[–] tomenzgg@midwest.social 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Huh; I never realized there were movies. Only knew (and watched part) of the series.

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

That's fair to think there was only a series because after the movies were done and the series came out they cut the movies into series length episodes too (now the movies are season 1 - I don't know if that was the plan from the beginning).

Maybe some countries then also only got that format. Anyhow the movies were the ones with Eva Habermanm as Zev, so thats how you can easily distinguish them.

Since the movies were produced in part with German involvement we got them long before the series in our TV (I think it was the channel vox) and at that time it was something to look forward to as a scifi fan.

Thanks for the heads up.

I should have guessed it was trashy, in the UK it was shown on Channel 5, the home of trash.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Sort of. Season 1 was always intended to be a miniseries. The plan was to use the miniseries to get a series greenlit. I'm not aware of them being chopped up into 45 minute episodes but that sounds horrible and I hope it's not true.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Season 2 (the mantrid season) is a masterpiece that easily stands up to season 1 ("the movies"). 3 and 4, I absolutely agree with you. Lots of garbage in 3 and 4.

Good to know, thanks!
