/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.

Well, Star Trek has a lot of diversity now a days on what kind of Trek you're looking for. Something that I'm really happy about! Gives a lot more paths and ways to work into Trek. While I do agree that TNG (The Next Generation) is the best of Trek, it's not necessarily going to be always the best thing to get someone hooked on Trek.

So what kind of Sci-Fi are you looking for? What's your vibe? Whats your jam? Any other Sci-Fi that you like? Might very well be that TNG is your best start but I figured I'd ask <3

I really love classic scifi short stories like those from Ray Bradbury and Isaac Assimov. I also enjoy a lot of the works from Frank Herbert and Robert Heinlein. Recently really enjoyed the three body problem trilogy.

I guess I mostly like scifi with philisophical overtones, hard or soft, serious or silly doesn't matter.

Whereas The Original Series feels more like Lost In Space and Buck Rogers, The Next Generation pulls a lot of ideas from the old sci-fi greats and leans heavily into cerebral science fiction.

The Animated Series has episodes actually written by some classic sci-fi authors, like Larry Nivens.

Didn't even know they made animated star trek... it's gonna be a long road to enlightenment

Then yeah, TNG lol Voyager isn't a bad jumping off point either but TNG is definitely superior in that vein
