/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.

You hated Discovery because it was too woke.

I hated Discovery because it wasn’t woke enough.

We are not the same.

I hated it because half of the characters annoyed me and the other half didn’t have enough screen time

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 weeks ago

I fucking loathe the series for introducing "Frieza" (the half mecha character), and IMMEDIATELY killing her off. Finally a somewhat interesting character, and they get fucking rid of her. Pisses me the fuck off

I'm just going to pretend it's one of his descendants with the same name who actually managed to do some good

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

Coulld alse be named similar to a area near me, the Native Tribes never named it so its named after a random Bandit who got murdered there.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

His descendants will most likely change their name.

I hated Discovery because it was written like a chorus of monkeys with typewriters and not a single one of them got close to Hamlet.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 weeks ago

At least they got the "travel the galaxy on shrooms" part correctly.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Yeah, really. There wasn't much enlightened future stuff going on and they pointlessly killed (and then returned, but still) one of the gay guys for shock value(?). It's just so poorly written that neither that nor any of the empowerment messages landed for me.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Yeah.. exactly. Although after all that I only fully gave up on the show when they jumped forward in time to a depressing future in which the Federation had dissolved. Like, way to completely and utterly miss the point of the setting. I’m gonna go cry into my earl grey now.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago

I was totally on board with that premise, thinking they might basically do their version of Andromeda mixed with late-season Enterprise. But then the actual plot happened.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

Everything after the time jump felt like they were going off whatever Gene's notes ended up becoming Andromeda.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 weeks ago

I thought it was because they'd received enough backlash from yet another TOS era setting/characters which contradicts canon and finally listened to advance the story into post-NEM territory. Instead they went to ludicrous speed and completely overshot everything.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I hated discovery because of spore drives and logic extremists.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

I dislike it because of "shit wrapped in shiny", and the black lead woman only capable of doing one expression of emotion: You put it up my ass! But wait! maybe I like it?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I was more annoyed at the klingon subtitle style/font being difficult to read quickly. Each one talking like a kid who just shoved a whole pack of Big League Chew in their mouth from all the prosthetics also bothered me.

Even worse than how bad the Ferengi were with that

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

You know, you just reminded me of the episode of Enterprise where the Ferrengi took over the ship. And I was surprised how much I enjoyed (most of) it, and thought the first act where they didn't bother giving the Ferrengi subtitlea, everything was communicated without the benefit of dialog.

I'm sure everyone else hated it, especially because of some of the weak plot points and how there wasn't supposed to be any contact with the Ferrengi for 200 years and because everyone hates Enterprise.

On the other hand, it had Jeffrey Combs.

What got me was that Ferengi, when originally introduced, were practically completely unknown to federation despite rumor and conjecture. Yet by the time DS9 premiered they're long established in alpha quadrant economics

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 weeks ago

I'd say pretty much all of season 1 should be considered non-canon, or at least, you know, super flexible. Even more than other Trek continuity.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

I loved Discovery
