/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.

I honestly don't mind his movies. Movie Trek has always been action for the most part anyways and, also, would kind of fuck up the characters. Hell First Contact turned Picard into a mentally unhinged action hero.
Also I still say Kirk being a rocker fucking fits yo.
Except that it's like calling you a rocker because you listen to Vivaldi. Star Trek used to pretend music ended with classical. Then J.J. decided to pretend it ended with the Beastie Boys.
Now don't get me wrong, I like the Beastie Boys and Sabotage is a terrific song... but it would be a weird quirk like Alex listening to Beethoven in A Clockwork Orange, not a sign that he's a rockin' rebel.
Eh true, but you hit on what drove me so fucking crazy in...basically all of it. The only listen to music thats already classic by our standards. Music thats classic by our standards. I hated that.
On the plus side, if music's been classic for 300 years, there's a decent chance it'll still be classic in another 300 years. It's a bit unusual to be a fan of Gregorian chant now, but not shocking.
On the other hand, if something's been a classic for 30 years, chances are it'll be a footnote for music historians in another 300.
It did annoy me in other Trek shows, but it was only in the J. J. movie where it was meant to show 'Kirk is a badass kid.' When Data played in a string quartet on TNG, it wasn't meant to show how cool Data was.
The Motion Picture and The Voyage Home.
Picard always had that possibility inside him. After all, that sort of behavior is why he had an artificial heart. I thought that scene in First Contact worked amazingly well, TBH.
(If anything, the unrealistic portrayal of Picard is how he was immediately mostly back to normal after The Best of Both Worlds, as if it never even happened.)
Those are two examples of when it wasn't just action which really fits with what I said about how it's only for the most part usually just action.
But okay I'll admit you have a point about Picard
I'd say after Family, the following episode, but you're right otherwise.
