/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.

ST continues its descent into gritty realism that betrays Roddenberry's vision.

As long as Alex "Light can only exist with shadow" Kurtzman is in charge, that will keep happening.

So give them a show about hope, about how things could be better, how we could be better, not the same shit they could get by turning on the news.

In absolute contrast to Roddenberry, Kurtzman doesn't think a good society can exist without people doing bad things behind the scenes.

Is that where Section 31 comes from? Kurtzman?

The movie, yes. The organization, no. But in older Star Trek they were just evil.

We don’t talk about Section 31.

And like with many of these things regarding DS9 let's not bring up that other space station show that had something similar, but earlier.

Just for added comedy, that group I referenced is called "Bureau 13"..
