/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Oh man discovery. It always seemed like it was written by that guy who was crying and screaming for people to leave Brittney alone.

"a murder" implies only one
Who besides Tuvix? Not fair to count Lon Suder’s crimes.
Suspiciously the bodycams were off but i've heard the voyager crew was originally twice as large until she ran out of coffee the first time.

I strongly suspect Discovery was written and acted by people who have never seen actual shit or suffered trauma.
If they had, perhaps they would realise that people who've been through a lot are often the (seemingly) calmest or least emotional person in the room when shit hits the fan. It isn't their first rodeo. Or they're bitter and angry arseholes. Basically Jean Luc Picard or Liam Shaw are far more realistic portrayals of people who have gone through shit.
Written by, sure. But I distinctly remember that the characters cried regularly in that show after trauma.
That is what annoys me the most with disco trek.
These people are supposed to be trained professionals, serving in a military hierarchy and should, before they even graduate, be accustomed to the proper decorum and on duty-appropriate behavior for an officer.
If they are constantly involved in personal drama and unrelated problems it just feels like watching a therapy session in space. It’s probably exacerbated by the modern season length of a dozen episodes at best, but in the older trek they struck a much more palatable balance of personal issue / character episodes and more plot centric stories.
I think it's no surprise that each Trek, through its own lens, shows us some vision of a possible future. ST:D just showed us a future where living life means dealing with the whole mind and not treating it like a taboo. Considering all the recent buzz about not neglecting mental health, I think ST:D was really relevant in its time for exploring what could be different in a better future. It's not a documentary, it's a vision.
Doesn't help your case that you keep (almost) calling the show STD, though 😛

Nothing about the fancy espresso bar #3 offers to all employees (all employees but her excepted)?
Sisko seems like the type of guy that you invite to a party and he spends the whole evening in your kitchen because the marinara that came with your mozzarella sticks “doesn’t have enough kick to it”
I suddenly have new aspirations, thank you!

How can you forget Christopher "beep-beep" Pike?
Review: "Ran by a former male supermodel, doesnt know how to use the replicator and cooks all his food. Sometimes stops speaking in the middle of a sentence and starts beeping."
They didn't have replicators by his time. I remember the TOS Enterprise had lots of pre-cooked meals on cargo, and preferring fresh stuff is perfectly reasonable.

Review: "Didn't say much, was not very encouraging. Would only answer questions with a yes or no."
Review so cold it could have been written by an andorian.
Or Carol Freeman?
Edit: it's a lot like Voyager's review, isn't it?
