/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.

@[email protected] for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.

To be honest, we're actually a month over. The community opened at the beginning of January of 2024. I just totally forgot and didn't notice! Only did now because I was grabbing the link to that callout post I made and realized that it was posted on February 14th, 2024.

In that year we're averaging 1.2k viewers of the community per day! Adds up too considering we have 4.13k subscribers that have come together to put out 3.5k posts and 51k comments! Holy shit! That's insane!

When I and the other mods decided to open this community together we had hoped it would become a popular place for people to relax and share a love of Star Trek. I think it is safe to say that none of us anticipated the size that it would turn out to be in such a short period of time.

You guys are the backbone of the community and the backbone of Lemmy in general. Dedicated as shit users who keep trucking and planting seeds in this fantastic garden. Congratulations. You're all Boothby's. Just as wise and as adorable. I love all you petaQs!

Thank you for all you do and the love you pour into the community. Best userbase anyone could ask for <3

What if Q was forced by the other Q to abide by DND rules as a silly punishment for some transgression?

With six decades of stories creating the building blocks of the universe's canon, Star Trek is surprisingly cohesive. From the thematic elements in the disparate films and series to the sci-fi specifics that captivate diehard fans, it gets more right than wrong. However, one Star Trek: The Next Generation story left a plot hole open for three decades until a throwaway line in Lower Decks closed it.

In the first two phases of Star Trek, the storytelling wasn't serialized, so some ideas introduced in episodes would be forgotten. However, because the universe kept going from series to series, writers could pick up those ideas and run with them. Newer shows would pick up the batons dropped by earlier series, using them to tell a deeply emotional or thrilling story. However, in the case of a theory introduced in TNG about warp drive travel damaging subspace, Star Trek: Lower Decks picked up the idea for gag. In doing so, it helped iron out the hole TNG Season 7, Episode 9, "Force of Nature" left open.
