/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.

One of the things I liked best about The Orville was its homage to the TOS aesthetic. “Just go to IKEA, buy a bunch of tables, chairs, and bookshelves and paint them.”
Cheap sets are a key to the charm of Star Trek. When it gets too CGI-ey you know they’re off base.

Arguably the same for special effects too. TOS is nice in that way, since it feels like the only show that doesn't go overboard with the pyrotechnics.
Even TNG had support beams, explosions, and an entire welsh quarry rain down from the ceiling, and that just got a bit silly.
Not as silly as literal flamethrowers on the bridge which spew fire when the outside of the ship is hit in any location.
I never liked the whole "we can't build a ship in which the bridge electronics are even semisafe" let alone believing that there's thick gaspipes in several locations.
Who designed these?
