/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'm really hoping for something explosive in the finale. I'm so sad it's going away.

do you get to wear a fancy hat? or a robe of some sort? ... if so I want to be a bishop

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Sure, you can have a robe!

So long as you're ok with also being a map.

That's what all those liver spots are for! I thought I was just getting old.

If Worf can wear his Klingon Sash, you can wear a Hat or Robe I think.

And ceremonies, long rambling complicated monotonous ceremonies with candies, incense, a bit of blood (or fake blood) and long periods of standing while reciting things in ancient languages that no one understands.

If I can't suffer through these things I don't want your religion.

Okay so I'm a new ST fan, my BF got me started on TOS & TNG recently and Ive really been enjoying it, but Ive been judging a book by its cover with lower decks because the art style looks so much like Rick and Morty to me. Is the story itself anything like R&M or does it feel like star trek?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 hours ago

LowerDecks is meant to be a comedy instead of serious SiFi. However, given the way it's written, it's a total love letter to the spirit/ideals of what Trek is. It's written from the perspective of younger officers, who are not in charge, but are trying to grow into the people/ideals who are portrayed in TOS/TNG. It's silly, and the art style is a bit goofy, but somehow it works really really well.

For me, seeing TOS/TNG/DS9 in full first feels important, as you need to understand the universe. LowerDecks will pick up threads from all over, kind of as inside jokes, and teases a bit, but all in loving fun to that universe.

Season 1 has shades of Rick and Morty, but breaks out by 2.
