/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.

No no, not "forgotten".
Seen. I haven't seen SeaQuest.
Is Lexx "forgotten?" I mean I guess it was mor niche than I felt, because of having watched it from TV as like a late night addition to a new-ish young person channel here in Finland.
We actually got quite a lot of the Canadian scifis, Stargate obviously being the supreme one. I watched Hot Tub Time Machine yesterday, which came out in 2010, and this reference made me laugh out loud, because in 2010 all the Jacobs (and me) would've been collectively jonesing for more Stargate, the last seasons and movies (Universe doesn't count) had just run out. I don't think we ever got SeaQuest, because I knew all the shows that were on the five-ish channels we had.
I don't like animated ones as much. I enjoy 80's-90's scifi a lot because it's "bad". Like the boring one camera angles makes it so you can basically listen to most of TNG for example.
On the other hand shows like Sliders had a bit more action in them and usually kinda large elaborate set pieces. God it was good for the first three series, then.... well, without Gimli, son of Gloin, I mean, Pavarotti, I mean, professor Arturo, it just went downhill pretty fast. I'm not even sure I actually have ever watched sliders further than s3 really.
Don't you dare say Sliders sucked. It was balls to the wall amazing. Just.... not all the way through.
Put even for the first 3 seasons, Sliders actually doesn't work as well as TNG with the stilted long one camera takes. Insofar as being something on the second screen that's just playing. I don't enjoy music.
90's scifi is more like about the hopefulness of the writers than it is about how big of a special effects budget they had. Sort of like old Who. Although I have to admit I have not seen all of old Who. I've been meaning to, but.......
I don't think I have seen Odyssey 5 though, that's a bit new. I don't know if it ever aired here, I doubt it. That's too new for "90's scifi" though, but seems like worth a watch, actually. But I imagine it to be closer to the later seasons of Stargate than the earlier seasons of TNG, in terms of camera angles and other such stuff. Gonna check that out though, thanks. And others which I haven't seen as well
Tldr 90s scifi is sort of half "supposed" to suck lol. The jilted camera angles and slightly poor production values are to me what I feel like the "warmth" that hifi snobs talk about with their LP-players and whatnot. U know?
