/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.

They aren't lower decks anymore. Maybe a Upper Decks series?
Yes, that too.
I can at least hope Tawny Newsome's comedy will go well.
When Bortus and Klyden ran in the woods nakie in front of their loved ones, as is tradition. 🧑🍳🤌
Arthur's knights. When there was much rejoicing.
We watched the first 15 minutes of Section 31 waiting for it to get good, and it never did so we gave up on it. It only struck me later what bothered me so much about what we saw.
Prior to this movie, who did we know in Section 31:
Reed
Fiercely loyal, by the the book, clever
Bashir
CRAAAAZZY smart, caring, scientifically minded, big thinker strategist
William Boimler
High achiever, rapidly upwardly mobile getting a crew position on the Titan before joining Section 31 and given his own command closing rifts in the multiverse.
Khan Noonien Singh
Brilliant human augment, hyper intelligent, calculating
All of these were top tier thinkers. They had loyalty to the Federation and were willing to do what they thought best to secure the Federations future even if it meant getting dirty so others could stay clean. Nothing I saw in the first 15 minutes of the Section 31 movie had any characters like these. We got the worst "bad of misfits" style buddy-action characters. I hated all 15 minutes that I watched of the Section 31 movie.
Indeed. Section 31 doesn't need disposable fodder. they are an agency full of 007 types, not 'suicide squad in space.'
I had wished for an appearance by not dead Trip Tucker.
They just show Tucker's corpse in a drawer.
I wouldn't consider jj-Kahn to have any loyalties or concerns for the Federation. He was self-serving and only cared about his other augments.
I think he believed himself and the other augments were the true representation of humanity. He was loyal to the idea of humanity's continued existence to the better. He just had a really twisted definition of "better". Still, I would have been more okay with JJ Kahn to be in Section 31 than what was introduced in the Section 31 movie.
What????? This is the news I needed.
Well this has made my day exponentially better! I had kinda given up hope in more Orville but if they're gonna keep making it I'm fine for a little break in between, gives me time to re-watch star trek a few times.
I fuckin loved Orville, has anyone seen Starfleet Academy yet? I really like Strange, nothing else so far.
Academy is in post production w/o an official release date.
Shut up Morne
Orville is what got me into star trek
Why Orville when it's so anti star Trek. Sexism racism etc. why?
Anti-Trek? Whaaaat? It's basically TOS/TNG but with Family Guy toilet humor and cursing. 🤨 I didn't have much hopes for it when it first started, but it actually feels more like classic Trek than shit like Discovery.
It feels like what I imagine the galaxy quest show would have felt like.
First three eps are a bit dodge (and apparently aimed at The Studio to get them to leave them alone) but then they drop if the stars, then Pria, then Krill and holy shit it just levelled up stratospherically and kept going.
The whole show was made in reverence to TOS and the "golden era" of Trek. It's a bit goofier, but the show as it went on tackled several tough social topics that would make Berman squirm.
Oh yes the episodes where the most manliest crew member is hermaphrodite and has partner drama with someone that looks as manly as them are hilarious
if you meant Bortus, no, he's male not intersex. male Moclans laying eggs doesn't make them not male. their daughter Topa's storyline has intersex vibes but it's questionable whether she can be called that
Sounds right, my memory is not great
I do remember laughing a lot though
This comment is borderline offensive, tbh.
Somehow people don't see it.
But I mean, some people like Enterprise , section 31 or Picard that contain the worst morals ever shown in a Star Trek show so people are not going to see the problem with the orville.
