/c/TenForward: 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.

MRW I finally watch Lower Decks and realize that "adult animation" doesn't mean "boring to children", and just means "violence, profanity, and sophomoric humor" (media1.tenor.com)

The Fun Police really misinterpreted this. This is not saying anything about how good or bad LD is. I was just expecting something more like what TAS was to TOS. Other than the fact that TAS episodes were half the length and that the animated nature allowed them to afford to depict more exotic things like underwater scenes and six-limbed bridge crew members, TOS/TAS were mostly the same. They had roughly the same degree of adventure, philosophy, humor, etc. On the other hand, LD targeted a different audience by focusing on qualities that had not been prioritized in any earlier series. I was just disappointed by how different LD is from TAS.

I’m disappointed in this community. Someone voices an opinion that is contrary to the majority and, instead of lively discussion, I see dogpiling? To be fair, there is discussion, but in the past I saw any attempts at dogpiling being cut at the start. I see it flourishing here. I hope this isn’t a sign of things to come.

I'm not much of a sitcom fan. They're rarely clever or supriseing. They feel like they write themselves in the most obvious way. And because of that they mostly bore me.

All that being said. Lower Decks nothing different.

I binged the whole series in the last month. Just finished the last episode this morning. And almost laguhed for the first time, when ransom said "Engage the core!" I didn't laugh. But it did get a smile out of me. Now it's over. And I can forget whatever it was I was talking about.

Similarly, Steam has some option about "adult only games" that doesn't seem to mean "you don't have to keep asking me my birthday for 'grim' games", i.e. games you have to verify you're an adult to see, instead it seems to mean "show me porn games".

This kind of bowdlerised English or whatever it's called is usually weird and confusing to us non-natives. Like, it's apparently OK to have the puerile stuff, you just can't be normal about it?

"Adult" doesn't imply genital stuff to the rest of us, USA.
