/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.

That's my impression from DIS, but isn't SNW supposed to be decent?

[–] data1701d@startrek.website 4 points 1 day ago

SNW is decent. S2 E2 is an especially strong episode.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nope.

I tried a few episodes because someone said they'd done a great space battle. The battle was 8/10, but every thing else was just dumb.

I found SNW to be a fresh breath of air after the garbage that Disco was. Sure, some filler episodes were weird, but at least I got a chuckle out of the Klingons rapping.

The problem with the K (for Klingon, of course) Pop scene is that the song didn't last long enough.

[–] Ibuthyr@lemmy.wtf 7 points 2 days ago

Shit, you're right! I had more of a Hiphop vibe in my memory. I love how the Klingon is so annoyed that he can't prevent the singing. Peak comedy.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Here are two shows worth watching.

"Utopia" a group of comic book fans discover that their favorite read is a secret message from an escapee from a sinister organization.

"The Prisoner" The grandfather of all paranoid fantasy shows. An unnamed civil servant resigns and is kidnapped. He's taken to The Village, where he's told he is Number 6...

Thank you for the recommendations!

In case anyone wants to watch those, too, they're "Utopia (2013)" and "The Prisoner (1967)". There are quite a few series and movies with those names.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 day ago

also make sure to watch the UK version of Utopia, not the very very bad US remake

snw was too robotic, seems like the actors were being forced to say those lines every scene. they had good premise but the execution was poor, as the other 2 series. picard was equally cringey as std, again they had so MUCH history they can use for the show, but it ended falling flat, and they were using source material from fan novels. (the friendly borg, the rogue changelings,,,etx) all came from various novels.

prodigy and lower decks were much better shows than the 3 though. too bad t hey got cancelled too fast.
