/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.

MODERATORS
Last I read, it was erased from canon not too long ago.
Getting strong Sealab 2021 but live action vibes here.
Unfortunately yes, but thankfully so is Lower Decks, SNW, and Prodigy so there’s plenty of good current Trek being made too.
I try to console myself with the fact that Lower Decks is canon, too.
Remember when TOS had magic wand worms?
Remember when Spock tried to kill Kirk because he was sexually frustrated?
Remember when the USS Enterprise got pregnant?
Remember when Trip Tucker got pregnant?
Everything except that one line about elon musk.
But in generall the concept of canon is completly overated. Like these are stories that are up to interpretation they not real. You can do what ever you want with that.
Its kind of interesting to see how some of those anti woke types loose their shit over this. (not just)
Anyways I can recommend jessie gender after dark's video on this subject relatong to trek
Wasn't that line said by someone from the mirror universe?
Where Musk wouldn't be a total fascist?
Yes but then Tilly is said to have gone to Elon Musk High School
this is pretty much the exact reason why I can't stand new trek.
celebrating current day celebrities in a show that's supposed to transcend those limits is out of character for the shows history and damages the show by adding frivolous "facts" that literally do nothing to drive the plot forward.
It's like watching a show or reading a book where a major character is "surprise gay". it explains nothing about their character and what they have achieved to that point and is then used only as a cheap character device later.
it's like introducing your "gay cousin" like it's some kind of a fucking qualifier for who or what they are.
I wished people wrote characters you fall in love with. Like Bill and Frank from The Last of Us. I cried myself a headache when Frank and Bill's story ended. I was so happy for them...but so sad for myself for never being able to see them again.
THAT'S what I want for Trek. everything else is just cheap and gimmicky.
Two lines. They had two elon musk lines and by far the worst part of the show
🙄
But in generall the concept of canon is completly overated.
You know, I wanted to disagree... But some of my favorite stories (especially Pathologic) make questions of canon a central story element. Sure, there's still a canon you could arrive at, but the canon of your experience with these stories is what makes them endlessly interesting and mystifying to me.
And that's not even to mention worlds like Dark Souls, Elden Ring etc. which deliberately allow for so much head canon that discussions are still going many years after release. None of this would work with strict canon.
