/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.

Sure, but no matter how bad the writing is that show will be a hit on the strength of the concept alone.
See thats the terrifying thing.
At this point, I might even watch this ludicrous show, as it would at least probably be entertaining.
So far in the last 5 years it basically seems like film and tv style media, with a few notable exceptions, has just absolutely gone down the shitter compared to what has existed before.
For christs sake its even happened to Anime too. Again, there are some notable exceptions, but good lord so much crap is just, what if we do exactly the same thing other show did, but mash it together with a bunch of elements from either another successful show, or made it edgier, but only superficially, or we just swapped the time period or theme.
(Please dont get me started on how none of the fans of Neon Genesis Evangelion seem to understand that the reboots are literally mocking, insulting, and making fun of the fans who completely did not understand the actual message of the original series. Or how the Matrix Revelations receiving largely the same criticisms broadly received by Reloaded and Revolutions also indicates the vast majority of fans or viewers completely missed the point)
I believe the Red Letter Media guys basically seem to actually be kind of hopeful, as Mike isnt as /actually seriously suffering from actually real alcoholism/ as he was a few years ago, because they know the industry, and are expecting basically a massive collapse that will force it to go through a sort of rennaissance of trying a whole bunch of low budget concepts that theyd previously never consider, with a bunch of total unknowns, and they know the last time that happened to hollywood it did produce a lot of insane garbage, but also a lot of insane stuff that is we now refer to as groundbreaking and hugely influential.
Basically they seem to be banking on a kind of reset of the grand karmic cycle of entertainment media.
I hope to god they are right.
