/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. 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.

Alternatively, it was one of the few shows on that wasn’t a soap opera or sitcom with canned laughter.

Back in those days with Channels 4, 6, 8, 12, and then PBS on channel 10, that left Bob Ross and William Alexander, painting on PBS, cartoons, and Star Trek.

But maybe you watch Star Trek because you're a geek and being a geek made you watch Star Trek?

Definitely geek first.

I had never seen anything Star Trek until COVID when I just ran out of stuff to watch on Netflix. Afterward, it was like I finally felt whole. Have seen everything TNG through SNW multiple times over since.

The only series I haven't watched yet is TOS and TAS.

If it's on my face, I'm being insulted

If it's on my chest, I'm being challenged

If it's on my wrist, I'm being arrested

and if it's on my ass, I'm being aroused

What a nerd!

It's true. Consumerism doesn't make anyone a nerd. Getting horny for a commercial product that psychologists have spent generations conditioning you to get horny for doesn't make you a nerd. If anything, it makes you basic.
