/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable, neither is supporting people who actively want to kill those groups. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

Regardless of where you start: if you feel like some of the older/dated stuff is dragging or not grabbing you, you should absolutely feel free to skip around. With VOD (coughpiracycough), just watch the episodes (or even parts of episodes) that you find compelling, and skip the less good parts if you want to.

Some people are amused by the campy/ham-handed/wonky episodes, and some aren’t. But do feel free to skip around to find parts of the universe that you like. You can always go back later and re-watch the ones you missed if you want to.

TL;DR: enjoy it the way YOU want to. That’s how you’ll like it best, most likely.

Dang really? Is there not much continuity then?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Some series have a lot of continuity; others, less so.

That’s precisely what I mean, though - find the ones YOU like. Have fun with them, and then just explore more of the universe when you want to. Theres no “required order” (I mean, yeah, there’s obviously release order and canonical chronological order, but frankly neither of those matter too much). If a series is making references you don’t get, just circle back later. It’s not a huge deal. There’s a ton of content that was made over the years, and it’s there for YOU to enjoy in the way YOU want to enjoy it.

Did you butcher that on purpose? lol

“Live long and prosper!”

Huh? That's my original catchphrase along with my original hand sign!

Stay alive for a long time and have an acceptable experience. 🖖🖖
