/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I've not watched SNW and perhaps dropped out of discovery too soon. S1, 2, and what I saw of 3 wasn't my favorite.
I mean, I gotta be honest, Picard somewhat ruined discovery for me. I get that they aren't the same show but they very much have a lot of the same feels going on.
Couldn't agree with you more on the Picard/DSC take. It's so much forced injected drama it feels artificial. The writing was ALL over the fucking place like every writer was tripping over themselves to make the most confusing show ever - the girl who was gonna suicide bomber herself, Picard's childhood, and Romulan clone overwatcher of great great great Grammy Picard????? None of it made sense.
SNW is very much old school Trek, I agree with other poster feels like what DSC should've been if they had competent show runners.
Lower Decks will sneak up on you. While it is fucking hilarious it randomly will sucker punch you with legit Trek stories and drama you didn't see coming.
I watch some of Discovery and hated it, frankly. I'm a diehard dark trek DS9er, but that ain't it.
SNW is visually opulent and fantastic, it really is what Discovery missed and I highly recommend it. Lower Decks had to grow on me and is now a favorite. Worth checking out imo!
Disco and Picard were both absolute trash. Strange New Worlds is properly Star Trek and really quite excellent.
Discovery was still discovery in 3 and 4, but it had a more solid grounding on what it was going to do given the major shift.
You could make and maintain a whole series on that shift and explore so many interesting things. The cadet spinoff will be interesting if done well.
Not a disc fan myself, but seriously get stuck into snw. Ymmv on lower decks, but snw is solid gold
Hold your tongue until you watch strange new worlds.
You are literally taking one experience and using it to pain all of new trek. At that point are you even a fan anymore?
Strange new worlds has been heralded as a true merge of old and new trek faithfully for years and here you are passing on it altogether based on a few seasons of disco and Picard which are specifically less like old trek. Get a grip or leave. You don’t need to like everything but don’t talk shit about things you’ve not watched
He's watched at least 50 hours of new-Trek, I think that's far more than what's reasonable to judge it. Chill out.
The other comment is a bit over the top, but SNW was basically custom crafted to appeal to people who didn't care for those two. It's brighter (like, literally), more optimistic, more episodic, more grounded in the lore, gives more of the cast room to breathe, and occasionally it's even intentionally silly. I guess if somebody is done then they're done, but complaints from people like them were clearly taken into account when writing and producing the show.
