/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, neither is supporting people who actively want to kill those groups. 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.

While I understand and can appreciate your thought, I do admire shows who end on a high, instead of withering and ruining themselves from trying too hard. I think the show will go out on a high and will remembered and appreciated for a very long time.
It is sad though.
Nano gang rise up!
i feel that way about the it crowd
i desperately wanted more content, but realize how that would just tarnish the run. its still so re-watchable
Gravity Falls is another good example
o0o0 yes! i love that weird al had a part. ...such a wild ride
I bet they could have made like three more seasons. There is no shortage of nerd topics, stories from IT admins... I used to read those stories. And there are a lot of them that'd make it for a nice story arc for a 25min episode. And I mean there are also some american series depicting silicon valley programmers and stuff. I feel finding good content isn't an issue. But things also get lame for other reasons. And British TV series always end a few seasons too soon. They seem to do it differently than the Americans. Bediedict Cumberbatch also didn't return as Sherlock. And I would have definitely liked more The IT Crowd, Dirk Gently's, ...
sobs in Firefly
Is this you?
That is an easy way to learn vim!!
I agree with you. People need to remember that TOS had a terrible third season, ending with a bad final episode and TNG's final season had a lot of clunkers. And then there were the final episodes of Enterprise and Voyager.
Game of Thrones would have gone down in history as one of the greatest shows in history. Then the last season happened, and it's an almost forgotten show.
It will be forever hilarious to me just how the end of GoT wiped it from our collective consciousness. There were so many memes and references for years- Hodor, MUH KWEEN, Da king in da norf, R+L=J, "Winter is coming!"- and the second the last episode aired it just fucking vanished.
To your point though, I would argue that had the last season not happened, we would think of GoT as a great show that ended poorly due to the decline in quality for the last couple of seasons.
For a more in context show, Baylon 5 had a great "last season" once the end of the show was rushed and a really lousy one after they decided to postpone the end by another year.
On the other hand we have Futurama.
You may be thinking of TNG's second season, which ended with the abysmal "Shades of Grey". The third season ended with "The Best of Both Worlds, Part 1"
No, I was thinking of episodes like Masks.
Calling on all four nano gang members…assemble!

While I agree with your logic, I don’t think that’s the reason they’re canceling it before the “traditional” seven seasons. I am betting that it’s because the Paramount beancounters are so far up their own ass about streaming metrics that they are unable to see that it’s built a cult following, which can be a very powerful tool if you use it the right way.
