Such a great time to be alive. You had to watch it in real time. You could VHS record it, but then you miss out, because the next day that’s what everyone at school or work will be talking about. Streaming killed that social aspect of tv shows. Get off my lawn.
Streaming killed that social aspect of tv shows.
Actually no, they didn't, at least not completely for every show. While many times a new show/season gets released all episodes at once, also many shows (like SNW) get released an episode a week (or like Andor, a storytelling arc per week). But they do that apparently to get viewers buy another month of subscription and it's a rubbish practice (you do actually hear a lot of voices calling for at-once releases).
Ah, real news. I miss that stuff from the 90's.
Very independent!
Rich kids and their cable TV ..... I only ever saw maybe 10 full episodes of TNG in the 90s and about 20 partial episodes ... never in sequence and most of the time only be accident on over the air public TV.
My family got satellite cable TV eventually but I had moved out by then. So I never saw all of TNG until I downloaded the entire series in the early 2000s. Once I learned about torrenting, it was the first thing I wanted to get, just to finally see the whole series.
Aww poor Geordi 😢
He turned out just fine!
wow
Sick Bay Watch starring Dr Pulaski?
Oh my! It’s times like these that I’m glad I cannot visualize things in my head.
That’s on PBS.
/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.
