/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. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

It feels a bit like Star Trek meets "Decedents" (Disney+ movie)

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Fair, but at least the overall message delivered brilliantly by Holly Hunter is one of hope.

Strange New Worlds set the stage, I'm hoping this new series can bring it home.

[–] data1701d@startrek.website 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well, sort of. This series is set in Disco's 31st century, but Tawny Newsome (played Mariner on Lower Decks) is on the writing staff I think, so let's hope she can inject some goodness.

It doesn't matter when it's set, it's about tone. If this isn't grimdark there's a chance I might like it. Current events are enough grimdark for me.

Yes, there is some spectacular cast, so I'm encouraged

[–] data1701d@startrek.website 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yeh. Really, I hope this takes full advantage of the 31st century setting, because I feel like there's so much to explore, even in existing Star Trek societies.

While some might see the Klingons here as beating a dead horse, I really have wanted to know how the Klingons handled the burn. I hope it's not something dumb like, "My race turned to civil war."

I think it would be kind of awesome if instead, we had the homeworld Klingons have a cultural shift where they choose to avoid civil war and instead embrace unprecedented collaboration in the hopes of one day attaining their former glory. Of course, this doesn't mean they quit being warriors; my thought is to keep their teeth sharp, there is a gladiator set up using holodeck and transporter technology where two combatants enter. Then, the computer randomly selects, with the result unknown to the combatants, whether it merely streams the combatant's presence to each other and prevents lethal blows or actually puts the combatants in a duel to the death (about a 1/20 chance).

Totally this. I loved the concept of a far future and the Federation needing to be rebuilt. It's ripe for much more exploration.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

The holodeck training concept was introduced on VOY with the Hirogen. They likely weren't successful, but to see the Klingons employ that method and come out the other side could be fun to explore.
