/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'

Fun will now commence.

I'm pleased for three reasons:

  • Kurtzmans trek fucked the timeline and ran with it. Fine, do it for one film but why poison the entire franchise? Its made everything a big confused mess.
  • The recent series have deified TOS. Why?? The good thing about the TNG era was it accepted TOS as cannon but didn't hamstring itself to it and updated everything top-to-bottom so it worked in a modern context. Stories were compelling to a modern audience and the look/feel worked in the current era. And why does Spock have to be in everything??
  • The writing is lazy. Its probably because theres so much cannon now that producers/writers feel like if they dont follow it it won't be trek. Also, they've let cannon write the stories for them. Its just boring to watch. Ten episodes per series feels like too much.

I'm sad. There's long been a chain of movies or shows to look forward to. I've enjoyed most of them, been infuriated with a few, but it was all Trek.

I don't trust the Ellisons with Trek, so maybe it's better if they let it fade, but it's still a loss, and I'm sad.

[–] MantisToboggon@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Well now I'm sad too 😭

I'm not ready for fascist Star Trek, so its probably better this way.

[–] _NetNomad@fedia.io 7 points 2 days ago

yeah, i hate to admit it but you're right about the Ellisons. this may be a blessing in disguise

Sad. The 32nd century era didn't give me much, but trek being in production gives momentum for more trek.

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

Personally I'm ecstatic. I've hated everything Kurtzman had done with Star Trek. The writing has been so bad, I'm fairly certain the writers resumes were just showing their Reddit history and Twitter history.

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

I’m mad. No. Furious. All you bitchin assholes always trashing new trek won again.

The upcoming Picard movie is also cancelled?!?

I’m so angry about this.

[–] negativenull@piefed.world 17 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The nutrek complaints were so prolific and cruel, but somehow many many people really liked them. I've long thought that the hate campaign was astroturfed, as nobody would watch 5 seasons of a show they hated.

I'm angry too.

[–] AppleTea@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You'd be surprised. I gave up on the second episode of Picard and thought the first season of DISC was alright right up until they went to the mirror universe. Decided it wasn't for me.

But my dad watched every single episode of everything that Paramount has put out. He hates them, but he watched 'em. Talks about them the same way he talks about ENT or the JJ Abrams movies.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Star Wars is religious fantasy not science fiction, Star Trek is endless naval gazing, not science fiction.

Aside from Andy Weir, people have dumbed down science fiction to soap operas in spaceships and it's just not interesting or entertaining.

[–] Kushan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I gave up after 3 seasons of disco.

[–] teft@piefed.social 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I’m mad. No. Furious.

Not MadMad?

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 days ago

I’m furiously MadMad.

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Furious.

Paramount is taking a minority but vocal online response as gospel, like they have for all new trek.

The 90s era shows there was no social media. All it's done is give "influencers" with minority opinions that peddle anger to make ad revenue from YouTube and Twitter, an outsized voice for corporations to listen to. The same types of people that seem to have opinions totally anathema to the Trek ethos in general. The anti-Woke brigade coming along as if Trek doing the same thing it always has is somehow new and different.

For the modern trek shows, that seems to be the only group that Paramount listens to, probably because it requires absolutely no effort. They can have ChatGPT or Grok consolidate those opinions easily.

It probably doesn't help that clear public fascists were just allowed to purchase Paramount. And Trek's ideas are directly counter to how they want the world to work.

I personally believe this is the only factor at play. They’re clearing house so they can produce a fascist friendly Trek franchise. It’s the trajectory they’d go in no matter what reception Academy got. The online hubbub is just convenient cover.

I finally got around to stealing my dad's prime account with P+ and watched this. It was ok, at best.

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (3 children)

What about this could there be to be happy about?

[–] restingOface@quokk.au 16 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

No fascist propaganda pieces masquerading as Star Trek due to its new ownership. This option may not be optimal, but it's the lesser of two evils.

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 6 points 2 days ago

I haven't been watching Trek for a long time now, the only recent series I liked was Lower Decks. The Kurtzman stuff just hasn't been doing anything for me. So I 'm happy that there will be an opportunity for a fresh start. I don't mind a hiatus because I wasn't watching anyway.

People couldn't stop whining about this show, and yet now that its cancelled they are all gone. Probably because half that shit was just more right-wing astroturf bullshit.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That Tawny Newsome workplace Trek pitch is starting to sound pretty good now.

[–] negativenull@piefed.world 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They need to sell the franchise to her and Frakes. They'd be excellent stewards.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

They overdid it again. Too many shows at the same time and now we'll have a decade(s) long lull.

Not while literal nazis hold the rights

[–] b34k@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Yea I distinctly remember Star Trek being strictly anti-Nazi in its messaging… so that could be problematic

[–] radix@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Star Trek: Mirror Universe

The Terran Empire are the protagonists under the Ellison regime.

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago

More like the Confederation from Picard season 2.

[–] notsure@fedia.io 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is like BBC productions...excellent content cut short.

[–] restingOface@quokk.au 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

>BBC productions
>excellent content

Pick one

[–] SolacefromSilence@fedia.io 5 points 2 days ago

Wait a second, next you'll tell me their news is somehow biased.

[–] notsure@fedia.io 4 points 2 days ago

This is unironically true.

[–] Ghostie@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

What is this about new shows? They’ve only made TOS and its movies, TNG and its movies, DS9, and Voyager.
