/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I guess I liked the darker kind of Trek that was ToS Movies more than anything - TMP and Wrath of Kahn, and I really wanted to see something in that direction.
DS9 got close to scratching that itch, but was also rather too derivative of Babylon 5 which IMO did everything it was trying to do somewhat better.
I really miss the slower-paced, philosophical and cerebral content of TNG though. What Star Trek did best was that. Put us in a place and give us something to think about.
The newer series really don't do that for me in any shape way or form.
At least we have Orville - as others have already said.
Unfortunately I'm pretty sure Orville is dead now. I haven't heard anything about a new season in ages and they would have had one out by now if they'd been working on one.
Might wanna look again, s4 starts filming next year
