/c/TenForward: 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.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

A discussion yesterday about netflix shows dropping 50% of their audience between season 1 and 2 was talking about this. Shows used to run 9 months and have 22 - 26 shows in that time. Then there'd be a 3 month hiatus before you got another 22+ episodes. A streaming show would take 7 season to get to 50 episodes, and with a year or more between 8 episode chunks it'd take 15 years to get there.
I don't miss filler episodes or saving the budget for sweeps, but I miss shows I love constantly producing new content.
netflixs problem is usually due them cancelling shows after 1-2 seasons, or forced cancellation of a show that goes on longer than 2. like thats why they lose viewership, plus the immense time in between seasons. like sandman, BOz.
They also just push new things at viewers. It's inevitable that someone waiting for a Season 2 of a show they like might end up in a warren of other shows, and watch those instead, since they're available.
remember how long it took sandman to finally rushed to being finished? eventhough neil gaiman was getting cancelled. BOZ shouldnt have that problem, but Netflix did not want to continue the series anymore, there was alot more material to go through like several seasons, if they dint rush the titans to being defeated so easily, plus other primordial beings arcs. i think nocturne castlevania is total limbo right now.
