/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. 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.

Oh man, my wife and I thank you!
We started watching MST3K together when we first started dating, but you had to find them on YouTube. Then Netflix had them but the only have the reboot now (which we have finished).
I’ve discovered a trove of Rifftrax on Tubi which we’ve been watching lately, but classic MST3K is still my favourite.
If you can afford it, Joel owns all the rights these days, and you can get access to the high quality full catalog at Joel's home for MST3K since Netflix dropped them and they released Season 13 on their own:

The Gizmoplex! It's very sad that they weren't able to crowdfund enough for a Season 14, but post-COVID and high inflation, it's been tough for everyone. I feel lucky for the new seasons we got.
Anywho, almost everything is available there, except for a handful that refuse to re-sign the rights to MST3K, for instance Final Sacrifice I think is tied up in rights limbo and you can only watch it through illicit less-than-legal means. Is it cheap? By all means no! It is worth it? By all means yes!
EDIT: Actually it looks like you can watch classic episodes for free as long as you make a Gizmoplex account? I haven't been back to the site lately until now.
You can get most of the episodes on the Gizmoplex. They do not have the rights to all of them. However, some of the ones they don't have the rights to are on YouTube, others are on the Internet Archive. A certain Canadian favorite keeps getting copyright strikes but someone inevitably puts it up a few weeks later.
ROWSDOWER!!!
Oh I know, thankfully the Gizmoplex helpfully lists which episodes are missing when you browse by season.
Not sure if you're interested in joining us on the official MST3K forums... but if you want to, it's a great bunch of smart and funny people and we spend most of the time just joking around. We also have group watches of episodes and group watches of unriffed stuff to then riff on the forums while watching.

Neat, I was unaware this existed, I may cheggit out.
Awesome, I hope you enjoy what you see!
