/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.

Some good, but many many meh episodes.

To be frank.. if I had to choose between Discovery and Enterprise, I'd take Enterprise.

I’ll choose the Enterprise theme song over Michael’s incessant crying and moping any day of the week.

My issue is with the camera work. There is way too much camera movement and it makes me physically uncomfortable to watch.

Haters will always whine about what they hate. If you enjoy something they don't it causes them pain.

Michelle Yeoh carried the show in the episodes she appeared in. Otherwise it is Bantha poodoo.

I thought this was about the discovery channel... and didn't understand anything from the comments

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Except it is. I gave up watching after the third episode

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That just means you're weak

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Or I just don't want some super violent crap TV show. It gave me zero reasons to want to continue watching

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

But it is. Very much so.

My personal highlight in DIS was the start of S3, when Burnham amd Book were cruising around with his ship. I thought "Yeah, that could be nice. Star Trek that's not playing on a Federation ship? That could be a nice change of pace". Then two episodes later they abandonded that and returned to the same old.

Oh hey, someone found a kumato?

Loves me some moogatoes

It’s the only Star Trek show I’ve struggled to get through. It became the show I put on in the background while I was ironing my laundry.

I’ve watched everything else except Enterprise and Prodigy.

Stamets is one of the better parts of the show, though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I really do honestly recommend Enterprise. It has highs and lows, but some of the highs are WAY high. There's some of the best of Trek hidden away in Enterprise.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Enterprise is a little campy but really awesome.

Is discovery the one with the weird looking Klingons?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

They steered them back towards normal looking after the first season for what it’s worth. They literally have a character comment, “Oh hey, you’re all growing beards again.”

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Reminds me of that TOS / DS9 crossover episode where Worf is like, "We don't talk about that with outsiders" lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The hair was one thing, but also their skin tone. Every previous Klingon has had a "human" skin tone. But in Discovery, each Klingon is entirely either a sort of dark blue, charcoal, or just straight up black.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes, the one where I'm 90% sure season 1 is some other IP that had Star Treks skin stretched over it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I still maintain that season 1 of Disco was a sly attempt to reboot all of trek into the alternate timeline Calvin-verse. I can't prove this though. To me, the aesthetics are all a closer match to what's going on in the recent Trek movies than anything done before all that. Season 2 saw the producers backpedal hard after fan backlash.
