/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.

Don't know how you guys feel about comparisons to Star Trek but I thought this was interesting.

Also, Mods ... if this kind of post is not allowed, I don't mind it being taken down.

I've only watched about half of all Star Trek content with series and movies and animations. I thought I had years of content to watch in the future ... but after hearing about other series from other people over the years, through comments in this community and through lists like this Youtube video ... I think I'll be spending the rest of my life watching scifi, the majority of which will be Star Trek.

I wasn't sure about some scifi TV series from the 90s that I had never heard of .... but you had me at Tim Curry!

It's a very good show.

I also cannot recommend Blake's 7 enough. It's the original dark sci-fi TV series- unsurprising since it was from the mind of Terry Nation, who created the Daleks- and inspired a lot of other shows... especially Farscape, which was essentially a Blake's 7 tribute show. Both are about a bunch of criminals escaping from a tyrannical government on a ship unlike any other known ship, with its own agency and ability to communicate with the crew. In both, some intend to fight back, some intend to run away and some are just in it for themselves. One of the villains in Farscape (Grayza) even very obviously was made to look like the big bad in Blake's 7, Servalan.

It's also got one of the most jaw-dropping finales of all time.
