/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. 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.

One is just 3 films, the other houndreds of episodes and several films.

How hard can it be? Worst case do the first and then switch!

The best Star Wars are the animated shows. Clone Wars, Rebels, Bad Batch are each better than most of the movies. Andor is also good. So Star Wars is a lot more than just 3 movies.

I was about to say, what's this slander? Star wars is 4 movies and 4 tv shows!

They're just gonna end up being LOTR/Fantasy geeks and hate sci-fi if you push too hard. Instead of Trek or Star Wars conventions, they'll wanna go to the ren faire.

¿Por qué no ambos?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (4 children)

They aren't very comparable, different genres, completely different stories, different methods of storytelling, and completely different mediums (yes star trek has movies and star wars has shows, star trek is still primarily a series of shows while star wars is primarily a series of movies).

Just make sure they're old enough to participate in the "is Star Wars fantasy or sci-fi" debate first.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago (4 children)

The problem is that Star Wars and Star Trek are two different genres. One is sci-fi and the other is fantasy set in space. There nothing wrong with either, but they are unrelated.

Is space politics sci-fi or fantasy? It’s got as much religion and politics going for it as knights and wizards.

So how is Star Trek fantasy?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

Suffice to say, it's Star Wars with the space fantasy stuff.

The force etc etc very much is coded as a religion

But first they need to agree that B5 is superior to both big franchises.

Trek Wars. Not to be confused with the 1994 cinematic masterpiece that is Tek Wars.
