/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.

The big 3, naturally.

Babylon 5, Farscape, and Battlestar Galactica.

May the force be with you to infinity and beyond.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago (3 children)

No way. It’s SG-1, Galaxy Quest, and the 9th Doctor.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

...robotech, seaquest, and firefly...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Fucking Seaquest! Hell yeah!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Macross superior, Robotech inferior

/vocoder

Transformer noises

The theme song alone sells Macross.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

...but also Robotech.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You can't say Macross any more than you can say Star Trek. Way too many series, and people even conflate Robotech and SDF Macross, which both had great intro themes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

There's TOS and there's SDF Macross. Everything else is secondary. Come at me!

...nobody would follow an uncharismatic bore like you!..

Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.

Babylon 5: paved the way for real serialized arcs like lost and everything else we have now. Groundbreaking. Gave us Mollari.

Farscape: Watching a human kick ass and go mad in space. Never get off the boat, man, never get off the boat!!!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Babylon 5 has a pretty weak pilot movie, a somewhat shaky first season, and then gradually becomes the greatest thing in human history.

Farscape is basically Guardians of the Galaxy if it were a show on sci-fi a decade earlier, with muppets. Mostly very fun, occasionally hits a lot harder than you'd expect.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Never thought of it as gotg, yeah it exactly is, damn.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Farscape was once described as one Americans slow decent into the Australian S&M scene.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

D'argo, tell him who his daddy is.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Come on! You forgot V:

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Oh Farscape

I watched that when I was very very sick (I lost like 30lbs), and to this day I have no idea how much was just fever dreams vs actually a real tv show.
