/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.

TNG is "Old Trek" now. Thanks for ruining my day at 6:49am.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

I'll fucking say. I had to re-read the thing three times to figure out what the hell they were talking about, saying "Old Trek" over a shot of TNG.

Everything before the 2009 movie reboot is old trek, including Enterprise despite it's last episode airing only four years before JJ Abrams' movies were released.

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

JJ Abrams’ movies were released.

Ha ha what are you talking about that's not a thing that ever happened ha ha ha

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Wdym? Star Trek 2009 was an okay movie and Beyond was actually fine. Also I can absolutely recommend Strange New World and Prodigy. Lower Decks can also be fun if you're into fan service.

I wish I could like DIS, but every season I've been disappointed in the plot points and character writing. It could've been so good

Saru is the high point of that show. He's the only character I was able to like unconditionally. He should have remained captain!

it was michelle yeoh, she was stealing too much of the other actors spotlight(they dont seem like they could act) and she had to leave the show. saru was a close second though. it was wierd how they forced michael, yes its name of the woman that the showrunner forced into the show.

Let's be happy then that there's more new trek than just disco.

Orville is more Roddenberrian than nutrek will ever be.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 4 points 2 days ago

That's selling Lower Decks a bit short. Yes, it has a big focus on comedy, but it has some genuinely great pathos that's up there with the best of Trek.

"In the past, Klingons believed humans to be weak and easily defeated. But your species has proved its toDuj. Sito was a warrior. You do not honor her."

"You didn't know her!"

"Do you follow every order from your commanders?"

"No!"

"Sito made her choice. You want to solve puzzles and mysteries? Your friend gave her life to protect that. [scoffs] She would not approve of your actions."

Honestly, it was long before that when I tuned out zombie Star Trek forever.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

nutrek is consideredin jj-abrams-present.

old trek before "enterprise" the series.

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

No shit. I was reading as I was scrolling and I read “Old Trek” and saw Data and it didn’t make sense. It’s literally called “The Next Generation” because it was new after TOS.
