/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 mean, I guess. But Star Trek has widened to the point that simply knowing someone is a Star Trek fan doesn't tell you that much about their taste. Star Trek used to be a franchise, wherein all of its products were like planets orbiting a central idea and tone. But now, Star Trek has expanded into a genre, each product becoming a franchise of its own, in some cases having barely any connection to the brand.
At this point bearing the name "Star Trek" doesn't really tell you what kind of viewing experience you're in for. Maybe it's a fun cartoon! Or maybe you'll see a guy get his eyeball ripped out in graphic detail! Now, asking someone if they like Star Trek is like asking someone if they like Rock n' Roll.
At this point, anyone trying to sell a script to Paramount is going to get asked, "Could we make your new thing into a Star Trek? It's just that we'd be a lot more comfortable if we could tie it to a recognizable brand." I can't blame them. But I don't have to like it, either.
First of all, thank you for your thoughtful and well-written response. I think this is accurate. Also, have you seen Star Trek: CSI yet?
Now that you mention it, a buddy-cop show about a Vulcan and their loose-cannon partner could be interesting... brb, emailing Paramount...
Admittedly, I would watch that, and it wouldn't be the worst Star Trek by a long shot.
Did you make those yourself? Pretty good.
Unfortunately, no. It's AI. I did write the prompts for whatever that's worth.
This is well put! Thank you for putting it into writing.
