/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.

Great list. I think you and I might be the only people that actually liked Dark Matter, everyone else seems to write it off as wannabe Firefly and that's... not inaccurate, but I still enjoyed it, haha.

Dark Matter was fun, so was Killjoys. I watched both when they were airing.

That's the thing, looking back...it's easy to compare those types of shows against everything better that came before. However, at the time; it was just new material. I go into these situations with low expectations so as not to be disappointed.

They can't all be zingers, right?

Edit: after re-reading this in a more enlightened state (1 day older & a bit less intoxicated), I've come to a better conclusion... We generally look back and only remember the best & worst things. Mediocre or "it was okay" get forgotten.

The shoulders or taint of the giants on which we stand get left behind.

[–] klu9@piefed.social 4 points 2 days ago

It's been so long between the last time I saw Firefly or Serenity and when I started watching Dark Matter (only a few months ago), the comparison didn't even occur to me.

There is some overlap, but IMHO not much more than any other "rag tag group of fugitives on a powerful ship" sci fi. Speaking of which, only after I posted did I think "oh, I forgot to find a role for Avon from Blake's 7."
