/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. 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. 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've always liked Enterprise. Not perfect by any means, but I thought they did a good job overall of capturing the feel of early space exploration in the Star Trek universe. Underpowered, outgunned, no rules...they had to invent the concept of a red alert at one point.
They did almost lose me at the start of season 4. After the Xindi arc in season 3, they had those two episodes where it looked like another long story was being set up, and I was like, OH NO, I can't commit to this. In fact, I didn't watch them in their entirety until much more recently.
Of course, now, practically everything outside SNW is one storyline...but the seasons have far fewer episodes.
It's not a problem anymore, because you don't need to catch every single episode on the day and time your local TV would care to show them, if they cared enough to show them all and in order.
Now you can just go to Netflix and watch seasons 3 and 7 of a new show on any time you wish.
Yeah, but there are times when I just want a monster-of-the-week episode...I get tired of the longer storylines sometimes. And you can't just go back and watch one of them and have it make sense.
But seasons 1,2, and 4-6 won’t be on there until six months from now, and the subscription price will raise again, and you have to cope with the fact that episodes of certain seasons will just be missing because they don’t feel like it agrees with their company beliefs.
I liked it because it wasn’t perfect. They were a bunch of goofs trying to figure it out. They weren’t loose with the rules because there were no rules— they just did the best that they could.
A lot of the writing was a bit rough, though. And that theme song was unforgivable.
Oh, it's not one long story after? I stopped watching when they came back to that whole nazi thing on earth.
Yeah, it's just the two episodes. Which were actually not bad episodes.
You missed Dr. Soong and the augments! A very good couple episodes
No, season 4 has a few multi episode arcs, but the Nazi thing is just 2.
I'm watching Enterprise for the first time now (s3) and this Xindi arc is... Something... Just not enjoyable for me.
