/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.

To be fair, it wouldn't be the first time a Trek premiere's promotional image looked like a poorly-done bag of ass evoking the general garbage stylings of the era.

collapsed inline media1966 TV Guide ad for the original "Star Trek" premiere. Lumpy-faced illustrations of Kirk and Spock flank a drawing of the Enterprise zooming past on a flaming rocket fire trail. The ad contains the text "Welcome aboard the United Space Ship Enterprise. Where it goes, no program has gone before... starring William Shatner as Capt. James T. Kirk (Earthman). Co-starring Leonard Nimoy as Science Officer Spock (from the planet Vulcan)"

collapsed inline media1987 TV Guide ad for the premiere of "Star Trek: The Next Generation." Really sloppy airbrushed wet-looking illustrations of the TNG crew with expressions ranging from blank to befuddled are lined up across the page while the Enterprise D zooms past leaving another weird streaming contrail behind it. The text reads, "Tonight, the 24th Century begins with a spectacular two-hour movie."

I can't help but still feel excited for this premier, from this ad. Maybe they knew it didn't matter how they presented it, haha.

Also, they really underestimated Marina Sirtis' impact on the series, based on her placement here.

They also overestimated Wesley's crew commission. By rights he should be wearing one of his hideous Season 1 sweaters.
