/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

Damn, I slept on DS9 because it felt too slow paced compared to TOS, TNG, and VOY. Maybe I should give it another shot
DS9 was before it's time in some ways and benefits from binge watching.
Try it once more. Season 1 and 2 are slow as far as I remember. As soon as Cisco grows a beard, that’s when it really takes off.
True
Cisco + Beard = bad ass. Just ask some romulan senat.... oh never mind
And when Martok comes in < Insert oh yeah meme image>
And Jeffrey Combs < Insert big brains meme image >
And Kahless < Insert weeeehehe meme image >
It's absolutely slower and different (and I don't rewatch it as often as TOS/TNG), but I think it's unique and fun. Whenever I watch TOS or TNG, I always imagine what it would be like if we followed life on one of the outposts they visit and never show again. Taking place in a fixed location feels more "slice of life" and continuous, at the trade-off of losing the sense of exploration and discovery.
As a serialized show, they take the time to build their characters to the benefit of the viewer. Occasionally, there's a "bottle episode" detached from the main story. This meme's core is one of the best examples.
I felt the same and was pretty bored with it in the beginning, but holy shit it's a good series, it's made me cry more than once. I think I enjoy it more than TNG.
Ds9 is great, the first season or 2 are a bit slow, but once Sisko loses the hair and gains that goatee, that's when it goes from alright to the best trek imo. Plus it has all the Jeffery Combs you need.
There are lists out there of episodes to watch and episodes to skip.
