/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.

Started a little too goofy, but found a balance by season 2. Tackles tough topics just as well as any Trek. Just sad it's probably done for good after switching platforms and the writer's strike.
Yeah, but the Mr. Potato head gag was possibly one of the finest scifi jokes ever.
My favorite joke is the sandwich in s3. That joke had multiple episodes of set up and when the punchline finally hit it felt SOOO good. I lost my shit.
Followed closely by the godamn leg lmfao. "haha. I got you"
I'm convinced that Seth convinced execs by pitching it as "family guy in space" even though that isn't what he actually wanted to do. He then had to do just enough of that until the execs stopped paying attention, then just started making the show he actually wanted. By the time they realized the switcheroo it was too late.
Had the same train of thought once it was apparent he was tackling the sort of "touchy" subjects that Fox Entertainment wouldn't generally approve of. Good on him for trying.
