Welcome to a Star Trek community where you’re free to chat and share your opinions about all things Trek!

I want to have a place where fans can come to praise, discuss, and even criticise things in the Star Trek franchise. No show or movie is perfect, and I don't believe people should be silenced for having a dissenting opinion. That being said, there are still a few rules.

Be Nice - No personal attacks. You can disagree with someone's opinion, but it needs to stop there.

No Slurs - This is applicable to ethnicity, religion, gender, or anything else.

No Adult Content - Keep it family friendly.

No Spamming or Trolling - Consistently spamming comments or trolling is just not needed.

Keep Topics Trek Related - This is a Star Trek community, so of course discussion should stay in that area! That means no real world politics.

What immediately bugs you when watching an episode? Mine is when they transport someone sitting down and they reintegrate in a standing position (or vice versa). Sure, the tech is near magical but my suspension of disbelief pretty much snaps when they do this.

One thing on TNG that always bugs me is when they know something is wrong or they lose contact with Starfleet personnel, and the Enterprise goes to warp 7 instead of maximum warp! It's not until there's an extreme emergency that they go to maximum, and often they could have avoided that emergency by showing up a half hour earlier. I know they came up with the whole warp speed limit thing, but it's still something I notice.

Something that's not an in-universe thing but still bugs me is the writer's lack of acknowledgement of three dimensional space and orbital mechanics. It's an issue with much of science fiction though.
