/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.

crap I've yet to start Strange New Worlds as "new trek" really doesn't agree with me but I was willing to give it a shot. so...it turns out bad? The last Star Trek I watched was Picard S3 and I kinda enjoyed it but that was after I struggled through S1 and 2.
Well, imagine releasing an episode depicting how biological essentialism expresses in vulcans while the world revels in fascism and racists trying to tell us how people are hardwired based on perceived 'race' and ethnicity.
Or while civil societies struggle and fight back against lobbyists, radical capitalists, all kinds of power grabbing individuals, releasing an episode literally saying "good systems are good because good people are in charge".
Oh, and there's the speciesist episode.
Then there's even more and overt memberberries.
That's six of ten episodes. Another episode is the second part of the last episode of season two. The remaining three episodes are okay.
SNW is largely good, but S3 has an unusually high number of goofy/gimmicky episodes that's aren't very good.
Also eugenics advocacy, biological essentialism, and some very gross takes from trek overall. Woohoo?
Season 1 of SNW liked to shred canon almost every episode. And binge watching it:

the serial reveal of a deep dark secret for nearly every member of the bridge crew got old real fast.But the cast was good enough that I kept watching. In season 2 we got Carol Kane and a great cross over episode and that's most of what I remember.
I got 3 episodes into season 3 and set it down. I'll probably finish it just before season 4 starts and that will decide if I watch 4 or not. I still haven't mustered the energy to watch Disco season 5.
