/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.

alt-textSocial Media Post:
Star Trek fans have held the national stereotype of being way too rabid about things for decades but they’re probably the nicest fan base in all of science fiction and the one least likely to have a large faction of them absolutely lose it over a torpedo being fired by a woman or dumb shit like that

Also, sorry everyone, I was a Trekkie first and I will always come back to Star Trek, but the MST3K fan base is the nicest fan base. The only two bitter arguments I've ever seen the community devolve into was Joel vs. Mike (now very moot) and "I hate Crow's new lady voice" for the most recent season. Other than that, everyone is super nice to a fault. The MST3K forums is the friendliest forum I have ever been on.

Joel vs. Mike

Mike is a great writer but Joel by far has the better timing and delivery. Not to derail the thread or anything.

calmly places halo above his head

Shit, if MST3K, Cinematic Titanic, and RiffTrax have taught me anything, it's you can't win 'em all, but you're always a winner when you're laughing with your friends

Note: rifftrax has now done more riffing than MST3K :)

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

And 1% of the production value. I'm just glad they're all still willing to put out content for us weirdos

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

There was production value???

Actually, if anything the newer mst3k are trying for too much :)

Rifftrax have 100% of the Funny though

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

My attitude is that everyone brought something to the table worth watching.

[–] Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 months ago

It's just a show, you should really just relax.

No need to fight over Joel or Mike when we have JOIKE sweaters. Or now: JOIKAHEM.
