/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.

If Lower Decks added multiverses then anything can be canon or not canon according to the viewer's preference! Want a multiverse that's the same but Discovery doesn't exist? Okay, that's the multiverse whatever show is set in until such time as they explicitly bring it up.

That's how infinite realities work!

My hot take is that Star Trek is actually a fictional show, and not 100% accurate historical documents at all! If this were true, we could all just ignore the parts we don’t like.

I know. No true Star Trek fan would believe this. Maybe I’m just losing my faith.

No. Not false. Just because someone else has a failure in basic video comprehension does not mean that Discovery is not canon. They just completely failed to understand what was happening in that episode.

Edit: Made even dumber by that link saying that Discovery/Section 31 aren't canon but SNW is. Well, you see, SNW kinda came from Discovery. You don't get to have one without the other. The pilot of SNW even aggressively states that they're in the same universe.

But nope. Hateful lil bitch fans gotta hate.

It was not erased from Canon and I'm starting to lean towards banning that site on this community for outright misinformation.

It's stunning how there are people who hate Discovery so much they will full on fucking lie about what is happening. It certainly wasn't a misunderstanding because that episode makes it abundantly clear that Discovery was not erased from canon. There was a single fucking scene of the quantum rift changing a Klingon ship into a Discovery era one. That is the entirety of the proof that "Discovery was erased from canon." Problem is that it doesn't work because the quantum rift changes you into something from another era or multiverse. The only thing that scene did was temporally shift the klingons. Same way the klingons were temporally shifted and turned into a sailing barge. Both are part of Klingon history.

Just because some haterboy has a failure in comprehension skills does not mean that it was erased from Canon.

Isn't tos technically the only one not a spin off and therefore the only canon?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

Just like Matrix 2 and 3 didn't exist, Discovery does not exist either.

I don't care about Canon. Every Trek has done silly things that are then included, or ignored, based on the next writers whims.

What did annoy me was that it became less and less fun to watch. Neither the scripts nor the sets and backgrounds felt like they where done by people who liked the general ideas and vibes of star trek. Or maybe they just didn't share my idea for star trek.

Pretty much only sticked around because I liked Stamments, Culber, and Adira. For all it's failings, I did feel they nailed representation.

Just watched Section 31.

Guess AI crap gets to be canon now. Mercurial Scottish crazy Vulcan bots, too.

First couple of seasons were “ok”. But after the jump to the future the show became almost unwatchable.

Bad Trek is better than no Trek and the fact that this show spawned SNW gives it a pass in my book.
