/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.

I've watched every TOS TNG ds9 voy and ent episode more times than I can count, I even watched shades of gray twice. I have thousands upon thousands of dollars in merch, models, books, thousands of trading cards. Yeah, I'm a fan who draws the line at wearing a uniform but that's about it.
I watched half a season of discovery and decided I tortured myself enough. I regret pushing myself through watching Picard all three seasons, that is a lot of hours I won't be getting back and it pretty much ruined TNG for me. I started watching prodigy and decided I had enough of the crap, and I'm not wasting my time anymore in getting disappointed and having so much great history being shat on.
If prodigy made a funny injoke, then yay. After seeing the producers of discovery proudly proclaiming that they aren't trek fans, don't know it but love the platform to push their political views I feel like I'm just about done with star trek. I haven't even watched the classic episode anymore, that's how much of a turn off the entire experience had been.
I started watching the Orville and immediately fell in love with a show that is startrek in all but name. Go watch that, it showsbthe love.
??? This is about Lower Decks, not Prodigy.
I didn't even need to watch a single episode of Prodigy to know it wasn't for me. Prodigy was created to expand the market to children. I explicitly called out Trek shows that are about marketing to new demographics as compared to Lower Decks which was written for existing TNG/DS9/Voyager fans.
Orville had many, many episodes of Family Guy humor jokes that needed to be slogged through before finding it's footing.
I agree that Orville is the best current Trek. But I don't understand your Lower Decks comments. You said you watched half of one episode, then you confused it with Prodigy. Have you actually watched Lower Decks or do you have it confused with Prodigy?
