/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Arising from the ashes, Rey Skywalker joins the fray.
Seriously tho I have seen way more mainstream hate for Rey.
Not that Star Wars is scifi as much as space opera. Nor does it technically count as a TV series as much as a film series.
flipping through my big list of Star Wars characters to dislike
There are so many people ahead of her on the list.
Prequels C3PO, all the cringe and none of the comedy
Rose Tico, the plot hook that can't act
Watto, the flying anti-semitism
Snoke, what are you even doing here? The practice sphere Luke spared with in A New Hope advanced the plot more than you did.
Porkins, the pilot who couldn't hold it together
Maz Kanata, a bargain basement Yoda and absolutely abhorrent waste of Lupita Nyong'o's talents
Jar Jar Binks
Everyone who made the Star Wars Christmas Special possible
I get being a bit annoyed that they gender-swapped Luke Skywalker got to just kinda mime her way through the first three movies. But if the worst thing Disney did was file the serial numbers of the George Lucas originals and ad a splash of color to the cast, I can almost forgive them for it.
Even just within the third trilogy... Daisy Ridley was fucking trying to give that ham of a script some spice. And she managed to leave more on the table than Hayden Christensen did with the Anakin role. Hell, she ran circles around the desiccated corpse of Harrison Ford, an honorable mention for some of the worst performance in the series.
She's not even in the top five worst characters in the sixth best Star Wars series. Cut her some slack.
Just to be clear, I was more commenting on how much hate I saw for her, because I'm pretty much on the same page as you in terms of how I feel about it. It's pretty silly to be mad about.
New copypasta just dropped.
You leave Porkins alone. That man was a hero.
(I fully agree with everything else though.)
I think she's the banner target for frustration with the Disney sequels. Almost like Jar Jar for people who didn't like the prequels, although now that it's been 20 years people don't seem to hate Jar Jar as much.
Yeah. It's worst for the most recent movie, because we're always afraid the latest bad movie is the last one we will get.
For example, I probably don't need to hate Pacific Rim 2, so much, and I might stop if we get some better sequels.
It doesn't help that they basically refused to flesh out her character like there was some sort of overarching secret that was going to make it totally worth it. They kind of screwed up the algorithm, like in lost you can have mystery building mystery but you need to give away decent hints on the way through and through no fault of her own her character was just kind of bland.
