/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.

Sucks to see Paramount mismanage the brand over and over again.

But, hey, I still got the 90's shows on disc, so they can't take that from me.

Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take Star Trek from me
...
Lost my love, lost my land
Lost the last place I could stand
There's no place I can be
Since I've found the NCC

And you can't take Star Trek from me

My favorite episode is Janewaystown with that catchy song "The hero of Calindra"

This is why they will not release the 90s shows on 4k BluRay. They don't want anyone to actually own copies.

They dont want people to own anything.

They want you to pay 10/month, then $12/month, then $16/month, then $22/month, on and on forever instead.

They're following Rule of Acquisition number 10: Greed is eternal.

Why have your money once when they can have it forever?

[–] mPony@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

They convinced young gamers that this is Business As Usual. SaaS should never have bled into consumer goods. It's a scourge.

[–] Shareni@programming.dev 3 points 8 months ago

I'm guessing it's got more to do with the cost of rescanning and upscaling footage for shows that don't have mass appeal.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 8 months ago

Jokes on them i grew up with vhs i got zero issues with AVI

[–] Kichae@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

That sounds like some kind of... service issue.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

Giving Lower Decks five full seasons was more than I expected, tbh.

And Discovery's last season was decent. Strange New Worlds has held up. They could be doing better, but they've been a lot worse.

I can't wait for Disney to buy the franchise and we can finally have the Star Trek/Star Wars crossover that we all deserved.

[–] MisterMoo@lemmy.world 19 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Monkey’s paw: JJ Abrams is involved in the creative process.

[–] LopensLeftArm@sh.itjust.works 13 points 8 months ago

Coming soon to a theater near you...

Don't you put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby!

Remember when they wanted to have new Star Trek come out every week of the year? Ah, that was a nice idea
