/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 thing you can't get back, a melange of culture and society and media technology and drugs. It was absolutely the best, and still is, in many ways. It was almost done in a vacuum, because the fanbase wasn't there yet (they were becoming fans) and there was no instant polling or trending media other than the basic ones they had in the 60s. The studio, even the actors, weren't getting a good picture of how huge it was.
With DS9, as an example, you get all the cool things and you also get to speculate about why this is the way it is, and what they were trying to do with that and if they thought the other was going to make the show a certain way or not, etc. . . . With TOS you get what you get. Star Trek, original, home made, artisinal episodes with 100% pure Shat and a Spock/McCoy overtone blend on a shoestring with everyone but the fans laughing at or ignoring them. Watching it now and kind of going back to the future is big fun if you can get to it. I totally understand if people can't, but don't dismiss it - it's the only one you actually need to grok to love Star Trek.
