/c/TenFoward: 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.

"This Next Generation show ruins everything about Star Trek." -- Trekkies I remember at a convention in 1988.
"This Deep Space 9 show sucks. They don't go exploring and they're ripping off Babylon 5." -- Trekkies on USENET in 1993.
"So they won't have Klingons or Romulans? Voyager Sucks." -- Trekkies on Star Trek forums in 1995.
"Voyager sucks, it's just the Seven of Nine show." -- Trekkies on Star Trek forums a few years later.
"Enterprise is a prequel which means we know everything that will happen and the theme song is awful." -- Trekkies on Reddit in 2001.
That brings us up to you.
AKA “I don’t like the new thing because it’s not the old thing”
“This isn’t more of what I like!”
Alternatively “They should’ve stopped while it was good” if the thing goes on forever or maybe has bad last season.
Yeah, but none of that.
Classic trek is about the stories, good nice characters, ships I could actually love in. Modern trek is a dark CGI fest with lots of pew pew and member berries and lens flares
Characters behave like they never did before, or plain non sensical (Borg queen singing in a night club, cringe, seven of nine went from calm and reasoned person to a ninja mass murderer who dgaf, crusher would disobey orders to save the lives of enemies, now just double taps, I could go on) or are extremely unlikable (hello Michael something something who always knows and can do everything because space jesus) to fuck fuck fuck fuck fuckerdy fuck fuck fuck fuck, because in TNG they too once said merde, so this is fine. In Picard season 1 all characters are basically murderers by the end, yaaaaayyyy trek ethics!
The ships are just godawful dark places that bang and clang to walk through, computer interfaces are painfully bad, and the techno babble that at least was rooted in some reality now is "just think what you want and it will do it" wtf.
Camera work is all over the place, always dark and broody,
Stories are nonsensical and lack the ethics/morals that the classic trek episodes used to have...
But yeah, I'm just ruling against something new, that must be it
You're literally doing that and don't seem to realize it.
And you literally need to read, because it's literally not about anything new.
You mean aside from how this new thing is completely different from all the old things...
... I'm not sure if you're trolling, though I'm pretty sure you are.
I'm not going to repeat myself
