/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

Can someone give me a quick explanation why Picard is hated and bad? I never liked TNG, tried it a few times and I couldn't get through the first two seasons I found it so cheesy and cringe and that's saying a lot considering I love TOS. But yeah I never got into TNG so didn't watch Picard and don't know why people hate it
I've never watched Picard myself, but the the main thing I took away from watching the video was that the person who made it loved TNG for being a show that tried to take a realistic look at our problems and present a fun show about a world where we have found solutions for them, while inspiring people all over the world, including the person who made the video, to become scientists and engineers. Meanwhile Picard is a show that is miserable and hopeless and will never inspire anyone to do anything. Also it just wasn't well written.
That's just my personal main take away from a single video about a show I haven't watched, so take that for what it's worth.
Tbf even Gene Roddenberry had given up hope on the idea of a future humanity where we have overcome these basic issues. By the end of his life he knew that the human race he portrayed in TOS was unrealistic, and that humans in a thousand years would be exactly like they are now, and how they were a thousand years ago. Same ape brain.
Source? That’s interesting and sad to read.
