/c/TenForward: 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.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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
We witness the future equivalent of professional military service, and mostly follow officers on those ships. And almost always see them in uniform. Perhaps sex drive isn't different but we're witnessing workplace professionalism.
Yes, the univeral and unrealistic competence of the crew extends beyond technical skills to emotional ones--nobody ever abuses their authority over a failed relationship.
Edit: Am I saying it's impossible that it could become a reality? Maybe I'm being too pessimistic about human nature; but I think between military strucutre and being stuck in a tin can full time for years together, things would be messier. Maybe some sailors would like to chime in.
Nah, not too pessimistic. Unless everyone is genetically modified (only through Dr. Bashir and the misfits do we know at least some were), everyone exists on a normal distribution. Lower Decks is arguably closer to what the humans would actually be like.
Lower Decks is the best version of Trek in my opinion.
It's messy.
I appreciate the episodes we got, maybe they'll reboot it.
It's messy and fun and still represents a future worth aspiring towards. Can't think of another show in the last decade, might be blanking. Anyone?
Yes, Lower Decks introduces blatant nepotism into the Star Fleet canon as well.
Gotta pick up Season 3, soon.
Introduces? Wesley gets preferential treatment at every turn because his mom is the CMO on the flagship and then because the most famous captain in the quadrant takes a liking to him.
Not to mention that captain was an old friend of his fathers and a potential love interest of his mother.
Wesley is nepo as fuck. He just happens to be a super genius space Jesus as well.
I assume they've perfected the psych drugs in the Star Trek future so there's less drama. The only thing they can't cure is Pon Farr.
And Ryker goes off the pill 24 hours before an away mission or the arrival of suitable dignitaries.
More like Riker is on the maximum legal dose of the surrpression drug, and its just not enough to contain him.
