TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/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.

The writers and showrunners blatantly not having a clue where the plot was going was a bigger problem for me than the soapiness.
It's weird how the show just vanished. Even without all the sequels and prequels Star Wars would still have been endlessly referenced for decades after the 2nd movie. BSG is the cultural equivalent of a night of heavy drinking.
I remember binge watching it. I remember talking to people about it but nothing this past decade
Not necessarily. Being able to stick the landing is hugely important for a series' legacy. Game of Thrones disappeared from conversation after its disastrous final season, but would probably be fondly remembered if it had been suddenly cancelled after season five. If ROTJ had been a similar dumpster fire, Star Wars might have gone the same way.
Only toasters don't like the ending of BSG
See I had to think about that for a good five seconds before I got the reference. Say "live long and prosper" and I get it in a tenth of the time.
Notice how basically no one ever mentions Lost or Game of Thrones anymore?
These shows were HUGE during their time. "This is AMAZING. Television has never been like this before. You can't be an adult in society if you haven't seen last night's episode because if you say you don't watch this show the conversation will immediately end." soon "What the fuck was that ending? The last season turned to shit! Never mention this shit to me again."
It's like VindictiveJudge says, these shows are designed to feel like they're going places but never actually get there. The writers of Lost put shit in that they thought looked intriguing but they hadn't thought of any way to resolve it into something. "What do the numbers mean?!" Nothing! Absolutely nothing!
Those shows are built like big epic stories, they're not Star Trek type adventure of the week that returns to the status quo, and yet they're not designed to resolve. Of course you're going to leave unsatisfied.
JUMP!
