/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.

I love Voyager, DS9 and TNG. 90s were the best time for trek.
Enterprise not so much, but it was getting pretty good by the end.
In the 90s it felt like we may be working towards that idealism, aftwards...not so much. Plus after mid 2000s/2010 everything wanted to be gritty which doesn't work for Star Trek. That said I haven't watched any series since Enterprise(on my list just not up there), but the recent movies felt less like Star Trek than the TNG ones.
Watch Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds! Lower Decks is a little Rick and Morty-ish in the first season but it's still good. This is coming from someone who really doesn't like DISCO or Picard.
Check out Strange New Worlds. It's the trekkiest of all the new new treks.
I feel like the only way gritty can work for Star Trek is if they set it entirely in the mirror universe where everyone is a dick.
You know, I think you've got it. The pitch for Enterprise was "What if we went back in time before even TOS when everyone was significantly shittier?"
