/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.

Honestly way better than having to remember everything that happened for an entire season thats basically 8, hour and a half long movies.

I struggle a lot with shows that have 2 or 3 year hiatus between seasons. (Who's that and why do I care about them?)

[–] CentipedeFarrier@piefed.social 14 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Same problem here. Unfortunately the only good solution is to wait until they are done and watch then.

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 11 points 10 hours ago

I'm waiting for EastEnders to finish so I can start watching from the beginning.

Any day now.

I do this (I watch the first season when it comes out and then if I really liked it I'll wait until the whole series is complete so I can binge it in one go, and if I just thought it was just okay I'll watch the seasons as they come out because I don't care that much if I miss stuff on account it forgetting what happened previously) and I know it screws with viewership numbers when it comes time to decide what to renew/axe but when the alternative is rewatching the entire series every time a new season comes out...

(Otherwise known as the tale of why I've watched Bojack Horseman S1 five times)

The good shows will have a “last time on X “at the beginning of each episode, aka “The Previouslys”

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 12 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Those are actually becoming an artform of their own. The best ones subtly hint at the areas of focus in the upcoming episode and get your mind tee'd up.

And the worst outright spoil twists for you.

I wonder who the mystery villain could be - maybe the character with a grudge from two seasons ago that the “previously on” chose to remind us about?

I just try not to pay attention to them.

[–] negativenull@piefed.world 10 points 12 hours ago

Totally agreed

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

I'm more annoyed that shows blatantly and egregiously stretch the runtime, so that what could be a two- or three-hour film takes a season or two.
