/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. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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 started watching Strange New Worlds the other week, I've really enjoyed the writing! The only other Trek media I've seen were the Abrams movies, which were okay I guess. I understand Strange New Worlds is a prequel to the original series, is it worth it to watch the original series after I finish it? Are there any series to avoid?

Ay ay, my plan is to watch it and just shrug off the bad bits. I'm usually able to take something from media most people call bad (even if I agree), because sometimes a good actor saves bad writing or vice versa or there's a good bit of set design or worldbuilding. Trek sets such a rich world that I don't mind the occasional 'bad' episode

you're in for a treat then. oh man I wish I could experience Star Trek again for the first time, especially TNG and DS9. I'm insanely jealous of you right now.

It's pretty bad lol, but not in a bad way if that makes sense. The actors just hadn't found their roles yet, and the writers hadn't figured out how to use the characters. But it's all worth watching so you can appreciate what it becomes.
