/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.

Yeah, it really should’ve read “Levar Burton - The New Scotty?” To which people would’ve been like “a black Scotty, WTF?” It’s kind of interesting how much the original dynamic was broken apart with the TNG crew, and glad they tried doing something different instead of just a carbon copy reboot. Some just don’t translate or were completely new “roles” that just didn’t exist in TOS.
Except Geordi wasn't the chief engineer yet, so that wouldn't have worked either. That didn't happen until season 2.
Honestly, the worst thing about the first season was the revolving door of Chief Engineers.
Blame Roddenberry. He didn't even want to show Engineering. I don't get it because people loved Scotty.
That's crazy to me, the engineers are always my favorite characters
And have inspired so many scientists too.
There's a (poorly named) documentary called "How William Shatner Invented the Future" which features a bunch of scientists talking about how Star Trek inspired them. Including the inventor of the cell phone.
Er, I find that hard to believe considering Main Engineering was the biggest set they built for the show.
Is there a source for that anywhere?

Now I don't know where they got that from, but that website is generally a reliable source. But I was wrong, it wasn't Gene.
So why would I blame Roddenberry if Roddenberry is the reason the Engineering set got built?
Your previous comment made it sound like he was against the idea of going to Engineering.
My edit must not have gone through. I forgot to add that I was wrong and it wasn't Roddenberry and edited my comment, but it didn't go through to you fast enough I guess. Sorry.
Okay. The idea that they didn't want to film in Engineering really confused me. Because Encounter At Farpoint made a big show of Picard walking the entire set from top to bottom.
It makes a lot of sense that Roddenberry himself vetoed that idea.
I had always heard it was Roddenberry that said no Engineering set, but this does make more sense.
Maybe Roddenberry's PoS lawyer...
I'm guessing Paramount producers in this case, but it's hard to know. It seems to me that Maizlish was more about just doing things his way rather than saving the studio money.
And in the end, they just redressed one of the movie sets as Enterprise-D Engineering and saved money anyway.
I really liked that! It accurately demonstrates that when you are building a new team, leadership roles are especially challenging to fill. It made it feel like a believable workplace.
“Code of Honor” disagrees
Code of Honor isn't even the worst episode of season 1.
Justice?
That’s right, so at that point he probably would’ve been more of a Sulu or a Chekov.
So, so, so many gold shirts :(
