/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, neither is supporting people who actively want to kill those groups. 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.

To be fair, when they darkened the lighting for Generations it looked way better than the flat bright of the show, so I can’t hate the dimmer lighting in the modern shows. I always use dark mode on everything so it’s just my preference.

Absolutely. I get that it's often over-used for dramatic emphasis, but it's definitely easier on the eyes.

Probably more practical than replicating sunglasses for everyone.

There are limits though...

Like this is the gang led by the Vulcan from Picard. I get that it's night time, but use a little creative license.

I assumed this was a screenshot from What We Do in the Shadows.

Honestly, it's a great scene and the idea of a Vulcan gangster that still adheres to logic is a great one, but it was soooo dark.

Here's Worf in the same scene-

Oh for sure. It can be done correctly or badly. But the flat bright palette of 90s Trek is not necessarily the greatest thing in the world either, and I say that as someone who grew up on TNG and whose favorite series is DS9.
