/c/TenForward: 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.

Don't know how you guys feel about comparisons to Star Trek but I thought this was interesting.

Also, Mods ... if this kind of post is not allowed, I don't mind it being taken down.

I've only watched about half of all Star Trek content with series and movies and animations. I thought I had years of content to watch in the future ... but after hearing about other series from other people over the years, through comments in this community and through lists like this Youtube video ... I think I'll be spending the rest of my life watching scifi, the majority of which will be Star Trek.

I thought you were just messing with me... then I saw that it's true!

Thank you for this precious gift of hope :)

Watched and loved all over the years except 5&6!

Legend of the Galactic Heroes is an interesting one. It is based off a Japanese novel (debatable whether it is one long novel or a series, but that is a digression) that is okay ish. But the show does a pretty decent job of it, and many actually consider the show to be the better form. It's pretty long, like 110 episodes (from memory, could be wrong) and occasionally it veers into petty politicking a little too much for my liking. But it's really interesting from a tactical point of view in a way that no other sci Fi has attempted. It's very fuedal naval empires in space. Master and Commander stuff.

Worth it. Give it a few episodes to let the show grow on you. The art style will throw you off initially, but after a little bit it seems normal.

Oh man you're in for an orvillicious treat

I’d trade Farscape for Space: 1999.

[–] lemmie689@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Which Galactica? I'm a fan of the original and the 1980 spinoff, but not the remake.

[–] SatyrSack@feddit.org 8 points 5 months ago

According to the video: the 2004 remake.

[–] SolacefromSilence@fedia.io 6 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I saw the remake first and really like it. I watched a few of the original, but couldn't really make it through more than a few episodes. Which did you watch first? Any one thing that elevates them in your opinion?

[–] lemmie689@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 5 months ago

I also prefer the silver cylons, I just think they're cool, and they have wit, they make a joke or two in the series.

[–] lemmie689@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 5 months ago

Probably because I watched the originals as they aired. The remake was too much drama for me, wasn't fun. I've watched the original several times. Every kid wanted a Muffit.
