/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. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

Just a heads-up: the first episode of SNW season 3 becomes fair game October 17.

some people dont consider std canon. or kurtzman trek-verse for that matter. they need dedicated trek showrunner, not someone that hates it or is ignorant of trek. enterprise ended because of LES MOONVES hating the series.

[–] selzam@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

I fear that day.

I'm still waiting for Voyager, Enterprise, and Disco to get good.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

VOY gels by season 3, ENT is scatterbrained (3 overall not great, but 4 has enough solid episodes), DISCO is a hot mess with moments that shine through.

Babylon 5 is DS9 in the right universe, with muppets!

Ivonova and Sinclair never attacked a populated planet. Technically Sheridan did, but I don't think Za'hadum actually counts as inhabited....

Season 4 let's gooooo! 🥹

[–] Turret3857@infosec.pub 7 points 1 day ago

i know im so excited!!

[–] adhocfungus@midwest.social 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Had an argument with my dad about The Orville. He said it was too 'woke' and political. I told him that's exactly what makes it feel like good classic Trek.

[–] Turret3857@infosec.pub 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Has your dad watched classic trek recently? Its mostly woke.

[–] adhocfungus@midwest.social 4 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

That's what I don't get. It's like the people saying Sesame Street has gotten too woke. Were you even paying attention the first time? That's what I liked about many episodes of The Orville: it felt like classic Star Trek because it was pushing the envelope of social and philosophical issues through a sci-fi lens.

He asked me if he would like SNW and I wasn't sure what to tell him. The cast may be more diverse, but honestly the plots have largely been focused on action.

[–] obinice@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

You have to watch Star Trek Continues, it picks up immediately where ToS left off.

Yes, it's a fan show, but it's got absolutely fantastic sets, sound, acting and writing, it goes above and beyond.

It's really top notch, and I was so sad when they stopped making it!

You give us your ranking from best to worst show, in your personal opinion. Then we all get to argue about it and have fun.

[–] Repelle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Not op, but this is definitive, so we can get into an argument when your list is slightly different

Ds9

LD

TOS

TNG

VOY

SNW

ENT

TAS

Prodigy

Discovery/Picard

[–] nilaus@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

I agree on DS9... From there I would go:

TNG

LD

VOY

SNW

ENT

TOS

PRO

TAS (Even thoug I've never seen it)

DIS/PIC

[–] usernamefactory@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

TOS below ENT is unfathomable. I’ll have a go:

DS9, TOS, TNG, DISCO, SNW, VOY, LD, PIC, PRO, TAS, ENT

SNW would have beat out DISCO if it weren’t for season 3. Of course, I’m super mercurial and will stand by none of this in a week.

[–] Repelle@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Not actually that far away from my list. I understand putting TNG that high even if I disagree with it. TOS being that low is pure blasphemy, though

[–] Zoot@reddthat.com 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Putting TOS as 3rd is just wrong, have you even watched it recently? Absolute terrible opinions good sir, especially having the greatest musical of all time so low on the list.

[–] Repelle@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

I watch TOS relatively frequently, watched a few episodes the other day. It’s a really fantastic show, more great episodes in the first season than some other shows have their entire run. The Spock/Kirk/McCoy dynamic is as special as it has ever been. Pacing is slower, which I like, and even a lot of the mediocre eps do a really nice job setting up a mystery that they actually solve.

There’s also a lot of truly awful eps, and highly outdated bits, but a great show.

Also, much like Janeway I don’t appreciate being called sir, ma’am will do in a pinch. (I know Star Trek was trying to be progressive by using sir universally, but I find it mildly sexist)

And I agree, it hurt to put Voyager as low as it was, the doctor’s rendition and alteration of la Donna e mobile was as brilliant as you state, but still had to put TNG higher, so many great episodes.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

I'll make a post of it after some thought. Gotta tease the crowd before stirring them up into a fervor.

[–] DamienGramatacus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

If you're into podcasts, I highly recommend Improvised Star Trek.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

Watch them all again and listen to the best Trek podcast around

Continues is amazingly good.

More than it has any right to be

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

This and The Orville.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago
