/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.

I have always wanted to like b5, I have tried to watch it multiple times over the years. I get 3 or 4 episodes into it and lose interest. Maybe it is time to try it out again

[–] SatyrSack@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 weeks ago

It definitely blends action, drama, politics, and philosophy like Stat Trek does, but leans far more into drama/politics. I can understand why one might lose interest early on.

From what I remember it start a little slow, but it starts to pick up around half way of the first season and it's pretty consistenly great after that. It has been while since I rewatched it though

I feel this. Sometimes I have to remind myself it took, like, 5 tries on Breaking Bad to get past Walter standing in a desert in his tightie whities.

I think B5 is the one where the test pilot goes too fast and winds up on a big alien spaceship?

That almost sounds like Farscape

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 6 points 2 weeks ago

Like OP said, that's Farscape, sort of an antithesis to B5. Farscape is action in a ship. B5 is politics in a station.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 weeks ago

I had the bonus watching Breaking Bad, of being from NM but living in Maryland when I watched it. I was enjoying seeing all the stuff from home.

And yup that is Farscape, another really great sci-fi show.

[–] MintyAnt@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Hmm give this one a go

While it's not quite the style of the show, it still a fun way to see the whole station and get a taste of the over arching plot stuff.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

First season? Yeah that one is a bit rough. But the payoff is worth the setup.

[–] SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

Get to episode 8, "And the Sky Full of Stars." If that doesn't grab you, then rest assured that the show is just not your thing.
