/c/TenForward: 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.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

I mourn 20 minute episodes. Watching a whole ass movie every time a new episode comes out sucks.
It would the sign of a good group of talented writers ... to constrain them to a 20 minute slot and still make an entertaining and informative show.
I'm with you on the 20 minute format ... I constantly scroll through shows thinking I just want to sit down for half an hour and watch something fast, then go do something else ... instead I end up scrolling for half an hour and then giving up, getting up and go do something else. Or else I'll watch half a 40/50 minute episode and watch the rest later.
On the flip side, I mourn the 20+ episode season. Only Prodigy has gotten a full length season in NuTrek. (They were half hour, your preference.) Strange New Worlds deserved better than only 10 episode at a time, like it was a mid-season replacement, testing the waters.
Prodigy was good :(
I too would happily watch 20 minute episodes about Morn.
Morn For Me
All episodes take place at Quark's.
The joke continues and Morn never has a single line of dialogue.
Every episode ends with Morn about to say something and then credits.
I'd say send this to Paramount stat but it'd make too much money
Lower Decks fits that format and it works considering the medium.
TOS through now is still about an hour, disregarding the 2-parters and feature length episodes. What's changed is season length. 10 episodes is the new norm. Used to be 26-ish.
Idk why I thought they were shorter and these new shows feel like they are so long. Maybe its the A plot B plot thing that packs a lot into one episode.
Pacing certainly factors in. Modern dramas tend to needlessly linger on scenes. Just wish there was more focus on the other characters.
