/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

It was really pushing the limits at the time.
It really wasn't. You could turn on MTV any time of day and see sexier outfits than that.
Or even Soul Train.
This was broadcast tv rather than cable. That’s a more restrictive set of rules. Cable only channels could show more.
It was broadcast weirdly.. It and DS9 were some of the last major shows to be in 1st-run syndication, so every market had it on a different time slot and channel as opposed to network shows. Paramount made the show, and they didn't have a network and no network wanted to buy the sequel to an old 60s TV show that had been canceled early. It probably saved the franchise, since the first few seasons were God-awful, but it was up aired in time slots usually used for a movie-of-the-week or reruns of old programs.
But then Paramount launched their own broadcast network. Voyager's pilot was the first thing UPN aired, and the show franchise stayed with UPN throughout Voyager and Enterprise's runs. After Enterprise went off the air, so did UPN. They mentioned with the WB network to form the CW.
1st run syndication kinda went away with the explosion of cable in the 90s and 2000s. That's when TNT, Scifi, Comedy Central, and other basic cable channels started getting stronger original programs.
Then streaming came along.
Soul Train was on broadcast TV. And it was on the weekends after Saturday morning cartoons.
