/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.

the Orville is the best TNG we got since TNG
I didn't really like the Orville. Or rather, I wanted to like it, but found myself getting bored with it extremely fast. Every single episode is a new social commentary, without exception.
Obviously, Star Trek has a TONNE of social commentary, so that itself is not the problem. The problem I had, is that Star Trek also has sci-fi mysteries, silly episodes, philosophical questions, etc. I found Orville was just social commentary after social commentary without any of the additional flavours.
My all time favourite episode is Measure of a Man, which of course is a social commentary, but it's more of a philosophical question of what we consider sentients and "life" to be. Even with Zero, I think his name was? I didn't get those same vibes.
Jump straight to the second season, the first episodes are too comical, later he gets a better balance of TNG and Seth's humour.
Also, it is unfair to compare measure of a man with anything. one of the best episodes in TV history.
how dare you besmirch the name of DS9 like that
I think calling DS9 TNG would be more besmirching.
youre right, i misinterpreted what op said.
DS9 is kinda it's own thing
DS9 was good, I should rewatch it, but it has a different vibe than TNG, The Orville is closer to TNG than DS9.
not a bad thing.
youre totally right i read best TNG since TNG but heard "best star trek since TNG" and those are absolutely different things/vibes.
no problem.
the steaks couldn't be lower unless Sam Rutherford and Tendy find a Jeffery tube under his bunk
mmmmh steak
