/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.

K. I mean, you are correct. I did let the recent trainwrecks from the studio stop me from watching another production from that studio. Are you saying that was wrong of me to do?
SNW is worth trying. It's got a couple of really solid episodes and a few of the characters are great, I'm a particular fan of Mbenga. It still hasn't grown the beard in my opinion, but it's much better than PIC or STD and seems like it could grow one.
The best of new-Trek is actually Star Trek: Resurgence though. It’s a Telltale style game set in the TNG era and gets it. The first act is spot on quality Trek, and the rest is still decent multi-episode finale stuff.
I'll give it a shot. I've been meaning to try it because it does generally come up as being good online. I've just not had the time as of late (and the problems with the other new trek turned me off of making time).
Do yourself a favor and watch SNW. It's the best Trek since DS9. It's a nice blend of different Trek iterations, and reception has been overwhelmingly positive.
I've been watching Trek since the early 90s and SNW ranks in my top 3 Star Trek series. I also have a friend who grew up with TOS in the 70s and never really liked the new Trek shows (for him, "new" means any Star Trek produced after 1969) and he absolutely loves SNW.
Give it a try, watch the first 4-5 episodes and see for yourself. It's really good.
I'm pretty much out of the loop on all the new treks. What does SNW stand for?
Strange New Worlds
thanks
I really did not like Strange New Worlds in the least. There are a few problems with it but the main one is that they are trying to mimic the original series which is frankly impossible to do. What ends up happening is it ends up feeling like a cheap rip off regardless of how much time or money is put into it. You can't just recreate legendary characters and expect an audience to see them in the same light as the original.
I also don't care for the special effects and filming techniques. It feels like they took the JJ Adams movies and removed the good parts. I personally found the JJ Adams movies to be pretty well done even though most people disagree.
