/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.

DS9 S6E6 "Sacrifice of Angels"
Even better: the prequels are all fan edits, and we’re watching in the Machete order.
Some of us have blu-ray, you know.
Some of us have the 4K77 project restorations and we will talk to you all about film stock and grain and you will be bored silly. Oh yes you will.
And also maybe about what shitty filmmaker George Lucas actually was from a technical perspective, because watching the 4K77 edition of Star Wars, it's like he literally did not give a shit what film stock he used. You compare that to the other restorations and it's like night and day in terms of just basic choices. There are legitimate reasons to grab whatever film stock is available, like you are working on a tiny budget and just have to shoot on weekends and holidays.
That was not the case here.
Also, how do you not go out of your way to protect your negatives from sand in a desert? Seriously, George?
The man was waiting for digital in 1976, and probably also planning out how he was going to troll fans by having a new version of "what the actual story is meant to be" in every single fucking interview for the next twenty years.
He just lies constantly. It's amazing. And not just about Star Wars. At one point he said he was going to stop making mainstream movies and make art films like he went to film school to make.
The great George Lucas art film has yet to be made. He better get on it, he's 80 years old.
I want to be more gracious about it, choosing to believe that he is flaky AF and just says whatever is on his mind in the moment, but the motherfucker will absolutely claim that this week's notion is the eternal truth. Even with Star Wars, it's 1 movie, 3 movies, 6 movies, nine movies, 12 movies. Pretty sure I've seen every single one of those numbers in print. Well okay, maybe not the "1 movie", though ANH tells a sufficiently self-contained story that you don't have to fret too much about Vader escaping if the thing tanked. Splinter of the Mind's Eye was written explicitly to be filmable as a low-budget sequel if the first movie made a small profit, so a franchise was kind of always on the table.
Then, there are his absolutely garbage takes like his "white slavery" crack or pretending that ANH doesn't have essential world-building, narrative scene-setting, and introduction of thematic concepts by pushing for a I to VI viewing order. The man always pig-headedly viewed Star Wars as his personal hot rod project car, to be rolled out from time to time for a race or car show, but always brought back home for re-work based on what he had learned about or could now afford. It hasn't gone as well as I'd hoped, but I still think it was critical he take the big step back that he did.
Even with all the bullshit George and LucasFilm have pulled, they were lightyears ahead of Disney's bullshit. He has every right to despise The Rodent and how they wiped their ass with his life's work.
And here I am patiently waiting for Adywan Revisited to be finished...after 12+ years
Ewoks are cute!
I mean... eh... They're not exactly Archer's beagle.

I'm OoTL. Doesn't Paramount+ have the TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT, and all the movies?
Re-read the title, ignore the meme.
ignore the meme
My intention was to imply that the friend was trapping a Star Wars fan into watching Star Trek. Could I have done better at that?
The problem is that you're posting in a trecky area with a tracky meme - the brain just doesn't want to read "wars", that doesn't make sense :)
Plus you'd need to know the streaming service.
That said: even though it's a slow burn for me I found it funny! Wo thank you ❤️
I didn't get it.
👍 got it!
Pretty sure they have them all.
If you're the one with a Disney+ account, the trap is meant for you.
Yar, what be this "Parmount+"?
