/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.

Star Trek fans have held the national stereotype of being way too rabid about things for decades but they’re probably the nicest fan base in all of science fiction and the one least likely to have a large faction of them absolutely lose it over a torpedo being fired by a woman or dumb shit like that

Meanwhile us Battlestar Galactica fans are over in the corner wondering why no one talks to us

Because you messed up your last season especially the ending

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Because the first series didn't age well :( although I loved it at 10... And the second was (controversial opinion incoming) too much of a soap opera for me.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (2 children)

The writers and showrunners blatantly not having a clue where the plot was going was a bigger problem for me than the soapiness.

It's weird how the show just vanished. Even without all the sequels and prequels Star Wars would still have been endlessly referenced for decades after the 2nd movie. BSG is the cultural equivalent of a night of heavy drinking.

I remember binge watching it. I remember talking to people about it but nothing this past decade

Not necessarily. Being able to stick the landing is hugely important for a series' legacy. Game of Thrones disappeared from conversation after its disastrous final season, but would probably be fondly remembered if it had been suddenly cancelled after season five. If ROTJ had been a similar dumpster fire, Star Wars might have gone the same way.

Only toasters don't like the ending of BSG

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

See I had to think about that for a good five seconds before I got the reference. Say "live long and prosper" and I get it in a tenth of the time.

The second seemed like an asset rip to me. It wasn't bad per se, it just wasn't Battlestar Galactica.
