/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.

TNG -> DS9 in order or start DS9 as simultaneous timelines begin. Either way.

I disagree with choose your own adventure. I think the “bad” episodes and the slog of a few bad apples as it were, differentiate Trek. It makes the highs high. The contrast across the series is what will truly form your fandom.

Yeah, thanks for your thoughts. I'm not one to "pick my own adventure" with a TV show, and I'm of the opinion that "Bad" episodes are usually just controversial.

For example, Mecha Naruto is a famous Naruto filler episode. Many consider it a complete disgrace to the series - since it's dumb as hell and completely weird. However, I personally love it.
