/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.

Star Trek used to be better than Star Wars.
Main reason: weekly episodes. You had to wait years to decades for the next Star Wars. But the next Voyager was just next Wednesday, and DS9 was next Thursday. At worst, they were in reruns for the next few months at most.
Hell. Star Trek had Star Wars beat on quantity of movies too.
Now, it's balanced out quite a bit and Star Wars probably has the edge right now on quantity and quality, but not by much, the gap is shrinking, and the situation could reverse pretty quickly.
Oh, also, Roddenberry didn't have the George Lucas syndrome making him want to retroactively ruin the whole franchise he birthed.
honestly, it's apples to oranges. Different shows. different vibes. Different stories.
I like them both, and, jokes about Spock wanting a lightsaber aside... arguing which one is better is... a matter of personal preference, I guess.
now. Arguing about whether the millenium falcon could take, I dunno, the defiant, or if the enterprise could take an ISD?
Those are arguments we really should be having.
Defiant, no contest.
Although Roddenberry was a visionary, whereas George Lucas was better at having created the universe than the actual films. Still, it connected with people more - seeing "space wizards" was somehow still far more believable than space communism I guess? :-P
Did you hear they just released a new special edition where they replace all the lightsabers with walkie talkies
