TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/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.

900 episodes if you go across all series. And then there are the movies.
Come to think of it, even though it's a sequel to a TOS episode, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan wouldn't be the worst place to jump on. Pretty much all you need to know about the background is recapped in the movie. Many people (myself included) consider it top tier Star Trek and maybe the best Star Trek movie. It's sort of a cross between a "submarine" battle in space and Moby Dick.
Thankfully, the plot doesn't take several detours to explain space travel mechanics, fleet movements, and the finer points of navigating a nebula. Moby Dick is such a bloated mess that if you gutted the filler chapters, you could only consider it a novel.
Agreed. It’s almost unreadable. I have no idea why it is so highly regarded. I quite enjoy the 1950s film though. People say Gregory Peck was miscast as Ahab. He worked for me.
I'd say he did well.
I’m guessing the people who think so enjoy the novel. Also basically unreadable: Robinson Crusoe.
