/c/TenFoward: 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.

It’s a shame, because the show was actually pretty decent. The horrific into song drive so many people away. And when they tried to improve it for S03, it only made it worse.

Straight off the rails in season 3

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

IMO, finally back on the rails. if S01 and S02 just vanished from existence, I…. think I’d sleep easier. as far as I’m concerned, they didn’t happen.

I mean, really— am I to believe that Dr. Baltar was Picard's dad and that the Borg Queen had an impromptu Pat Benatar solo with full jazz accompaniment? That Picard’s mom killed herself in the family chateau in some fantastical dream crossover with some Nazi/Borg dream allegory? No! Rafa got the good shit, and we all got to ride along. Time-travel repressed-memory fever-dream hallucination over. S01 and S02 and their shitty writing didn’t happen.

S03 was awesome and self-contained, and that’s all I care to remember.

lmao…. I dunno. the whole “twin towers 9/11” allegory that led into the Delphic Expanse and the pursuit of the Xindi was both terrible and also led to some cool stories.

overall, it really sucked, though. and, yeah, sorry for missing what you were talking about, lol. I’m tired.

Tough not to touch on it, given when the show was airing. Using it as the arc for the whole season is a bit taxing. "Proving Ground" is definitely the highlight for me.

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

fair. I really hated the show at the time, but I’ve come to love it a lot in rewatching it, so perhaps I have a different perspective of it than you do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] constantokra@lemmy.one 1 points 9 months ago

Yes, you are to believe those things.

Also, I totally kept thinking he was going to pull out his Aerilon accent and turn into some kind of raving monster or something. Kind of sad that didn't happen.

Also, given that he and Bashir look so alike, and that Bashir is genetically enhanced... are we also to believe that they just basically tried their best to turn him into Picard's dad?
