/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. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

I miss the more 'monster of the week' type storytelling weaved through with season long (or longer) arcs that spanned 20-ish episode seasons. I liked the kind of storytelling where episodes stood on their own but had hints in them that formed a big picture. And every now and then there was an episode that was wholly dedicated to the overarching plot.
This kind of storytelling leaves a lot of room for characterisation episodes or exploration of an intriguing concept. And don't you dare calling this filler. Filler is meaningless. Exploring concepts and characters is not meaningless.

I want more filler episodes the same way Magic The Gathering wants bad cards:

The solution to the aforementioned problem leads to the second reason “bad” cards exist. Different cards have different functions and appeal to different players.

We make some cards for the multi-player crowd. We make cards for the flavor crowd. We make cards for the silly crowd. We make the big creatures and spells for "Timmy." We make the combo cards for "Johnny." We take each different group of Magic players and throw some cards their way.

The problem is players tend to define “bad cards” as cards that they personally see no reason to play. But certain cards aren’t meant for them in the first place.

Somewhere out there, there's a single lonely soul who really, really gets Threshold.

I don't judge that person, but I'm not inviting him to join my DND group either.

arnt people having problems with MTG right now, using Marvel and other IP, they dont like how its not original anymore.

I dunno, haven’t played it in ages. Wizards of the Coast has developed the mierdas touch 🤮

Yes, it’s a huge controversy in the game right now.

Bad or just plain meh eps stand out a lot further on shorter seasons though. I mean if i had the choice of watching s3 of SNW again or any given voyager season - even the first three- i'd choose the latter.

i prefer the enterprise and older over nutrek anyday. kurtzman or whoever is the replacement now, just dint respect the franchise at all. kinda blame JJ abrams for setting the precedents of the quality.
