/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.

I can't recommend it either way, I can't immerse myself in it because I can't see the meta commentary it is on that point in time. It was released in September 2001 meaning it was written and filmed prior to the September 11th terrorist attack. So it really showcases the attitudes people had for the future immediately prior to and following the attacks.

In the series, before the zindi arc, while the crew of the Enterprise are meeting aliens, they can usually find common ground and resolve the conflict. Once the zindi arc starts, suddenly there are new aliens that are existentially different than the crew. The whole zindi arc is literally the trauma of September 11th, playing out on screen, in space. I can't suspend disbelief enough to really enjoy it.
