/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

I feel like that’s letting JJ off the hook
We can't have that after what he did to both franchises can we? Maybe we can find out what he drives and hide a large dead fish in his hub cap? It's about to be warmer weather in Hollywood and all!
I've always thought this take was unimaginably short sighted and just... Dumb.
I liked the sequels (generally) but see why people don't like them. See why people say that they ruined Star Wars. Again, I don't agree but I see the point. It was a continuation of the story and did whatever.
JJ made an alternate universe for Trek though. Literally the only bits of canon he added to Trek was that the Romulan star went Supernova and Spock prime was flung into the alt timeline in an attempt to help save the Romulans. That's it.
People keep saying JJ ruined Trek but the dude did literally nothing other than make an alternate universe. Trek was still untouched. Spocks attempt to save Romulus is even super in line with Spocks character after Unification II as well.
JJ may have "ruined" Star Wars but the only thing he did to Trek was make a couple movies people didn't like (that can be COMPLETELY ignored) and reinvigorate life back into a franchise that had been shelved.
I kinda like the Trek movies. The Star Wars stuff not so much tho.
I say we get cinematic and go with a horse’s head in his bed
What a great scene! You have impeccable taste in film!
Lucas, Spielberg, and Coppola were all boys in the 70s and 80s. I thought it’d be appropriate to use something from Francis’s film considering what JJ did to George’s baby and stealing and bastardizing Steven’s style
It's always warm in Hollywood.
