/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.

Tbf, TOS is "older" in another way too: it comes from ye olden television times when color was still being added, and CGI wasn't near the point that it had reached by the time of Voyager. So between those two shows a phase shift had occurred in television, whereas between Voyager and now the types of shifts we have seen have been more like moving from TV signals sent out freely over the airways to having to pay 15 different streaming platforms ON TOP OF your ISP, one for each different season of the show as it gets bought & sold & migrates among them:-(. I wonder how kids today can even begin to image purchasing a device and being able to watch something instantly on it without having to pay for a subscription service, plus hack the ROM to try to get rid of ads being added directly onto the device itself:-|.
