/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.

Interesting. From what I keep hearing it kinda sounds like whatever "Trek" is, each series finds its way there eventually but it takes a few seasons of something (at least partially) else.

... So maybe I should peek into LD and DSC at seasons three 🤔 And PIC, I hear that one started out rough too. Dunno about SNY and whatever others may or may not exist <.< I actually kinda fled after glimpsing early LD and DSC 😅

DSC has never known what it wants to be, and every season feels like a soft reboot. I've liked all of them enough to watch, but I just don't love it.

PIC S1 was kind of okay, but fell short of what it could have been, and sort of failed by raising the stakes too high in what should have been partly comfort viewing. PIC S2 is the height of "We all hate this; tread water with a time travel story you can film in LA." It's worse than anything so far. PIC S3 is better but it's a lot of gratuitous fan service that feels fun but unearned. There are some good bones for expanding the property, but they need to let Sir Patrick ride off into the sunset and be very selective about which other legacy characters get their own projects.

LD grows beyond the initial elevator pitch by the end of S1, and with the level-set that it's always a bit on the lighter side, it really does come into its own with characters you root for. Very worthwhile if animation doesn't immediately take you out of your sense of immersion. SNW is the one that comes closest to hitting the ground running and feels kind of specifically like Paramount listened to the criticisms of the earlier shows without completely throwing out more modern sensibilities and storytelling.

Honorable mention to Prodigy, which is not trying to be anything other than a kids show, but it knows it's Star Trek, too.

Thanks for the descriptions :3 Maybe I'll get around to re-peeking at DSC, and having a look at some PIC and SNW and maybe even PRO! ... Some day. Eventually <.<; 🤷

Kinda morbidly curious about PIC S2, now. Now I've got this itch like "How bad could it really be?" 😅
