/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.

Paramount removed all the Star Trek movies from their own streaming service, and gave them to HBO MAX. They have always billed their streaming service as "All things trek", but now they don't allow you to stream their own properties on their own streaming service.
That and hiking their prices like the rest of the streaming services while having a fraction of the new content.
War is peace
Freedom is slavery
Ignorance is strength
Pay more for getting less
it's like 5.99 to watch 45 minute shows with 5+ 120 second ad breaks. I instantly canceled and went an alternate route
I pay the higher rate for "ad free", but now I see ads before starting programs. Quite irritating. I assume if I read the fine print, I'll find that "ad free" changed at some point along the line to "fuck you, we're showing ads and you'll like it".
We also have numerous issues with the Paramount+ app on our FireTV - frequent crashes, trouble starting playback, and other things. It's by far the buggiest app we use.
I grew up with ads on TV and I stopped watching TV when I grew older. We have cable subscription now as a package for our internet, but it is not even connected. I own a TV but I only stream.
I cut the cord so I wouldn't have to watch commercials and there is no way in hell I am ever going back to them. And if they start having ads on all the services, I guess there will be a lot more piracy.
They lie also. Adds Ghosts UK and says all seasons now streaming...shows 2 out of the 5 added
Ghosts is such a great show. I didn't even want to watch the US version because I didn't want to know how they ruined it.
I tried the first episode of the US version after watching the 2 UK seasons on the app. I was like nope. Everything about it felt worse.
If you finish the UK show and want more, the same people behind it made a comedy fantasy show called Yonderland. It has most of the same cast (although some of them are just doing voices because there are puppets).
Jesus... Well time to get out the Bat'leths.
Time to take up the life of an Orion Pirate
Ok, I have to ask. Wtf?
