/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.

MODERATORS
The OG Enterprise, NCC-1701, is ugly as sin, inside and out.
Outside of the garish stages and costumes (now in fabulous technicolor!), this guy is exhibit A in your case:
What's the issue? He's calibrating the duotronic plasma panel with a magnetic resonance adjuster.
Those uniform medals always bothered me. They look like someone left their pack of Jolly ranchers in the wash and they got hot water welded to the clothing.
Are they licking off the medals of a highly decorated North Korean general?
Demotions can take a while.
... and a touch of diabetes
Do you not see the tool is his hands? It's clear (which was a common thing in TOS, transparent aluminium I assume) so it's easy to miss. If you can't see the tool it does look kind of ridiculous.
See? Now that is the sort of hot take I've been hoping for!
I almost added that Voyager is the prettiest and there's no contest. Glad I left that part unsaid. :)
Voyager has the best intro song too.
No, for sure. Voyager is such a sleek and beautiful ship. Never was a fan of the saucer design
Why though? You are absolutely right.
I did not want to detract from the statement that the OG Enterprise is ugly.
Are you saying it should be hauled away as garbage?
