/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.

I don't watch NuTrek (other than lower decks). People tell me Strange New Worlds is good, but I was never that into TOS and I'll be damned if I'm going through a singing episode.
You simply cannot see the wisdom of Mahanit.
I usually don't like most singing episodes, but I liked the SNW one.
I was also never into TOS but SNW is great.
Lower Decks has become a comfort show.
So far discovery has held my interest, but there are so so many problems I have while watching it... My head cannon is that it's an alternate time line that diverged thousands of years ago.
I don't see myself watching Picard. I feel like Star Trek TNG left it at a good point with Insurrection (apologies to people who hated it, but it was my introduction to star trek and has a special nostalgia that I get to laugh about the terrible and/or poorly written parts)
Also I pretend nemesis doesn't exist.
DISCO is confirmed as an alternate universe per LD.

Edit: Insurrection is a great 2 part episode with a bigger budget.
Damn, I totally forgot about that bit!
Honestly I have only seen the final episode twice. I've seen all of season one about 10-13 times.
That is a perfect description of Insurrection.
I fast-forwarded through the singing episode, but the others were good. ESPECIALLY the lower decks crossover episode.

Yeah I'll be honest, I didn't even give lower decks a chance until I saw that episode. Then I binge watched LD over the next couple days.
The singing episode was great, personally was the second highest point SNW got to for me, behind the lower decks one.
Just skip that one. The rest is ... better than Discovery and Picard at least.
I had a flashback of a Discovery episode that ends with a party with loud music, and the final shot is of the entire ship, and the music could be heard muffled, from outside, Discovery playing disco music traveling in the vacuum.
I swear they did shit like that just to piss off trekkies, they were too consistent to be random.
