/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 does an amazing job of world-building. It's based on a so-so movie, but the show itself is incredible. It only lasted one season, but they also followed it up with some TV movies. An alien slave ship crash-lands in the desert and the survivors are eventually given citizenship and most live in Los Angeles. It's basically a procedural involving the human cop (Gary Graham) and a "Newcomer" cop (Eric Pierpoint, who also did a ton of Star Trek) solving crimes together. Between the exploration of Newcomer culture and the exploration of the racism they face- and that some of them have for humans, it's an amazing show. And I don't generally like procedurals.
It's all on the Internet Archive.
Edit: Come to think of it, he essentially plays against a "Vulcan" character in Eric Pierpoint's George. Newcomers don't lack emotion, far from it. But George himself is very reserved and awkward and really does not get humans, so it's a similar relationship humans have with Vulcans. But his character, Sikes, is a definite 'lead with his emotions' kind of guy, so it's the opposite from Soval.
I'll check it out, probably soon-ish. Thanks. Winter is when I typically watch through new (to me anyway) shows since I don't like outside when it's all L-class lol.
I hope you enjoy it. I wouldn't bother with the original movie except for curiosity's sake. Much like Stargate SG-1, they went their own way with the TV show and it doesn't even share a cast.
