/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.

Wikipedia says the first episode originally aired as a single, 2-hour episode, but later airings break the episode into a two-parter.
IMDB counts Encounter at Farpoint as a single episode.

I'm reluctant to disagree with Memory Alpha, but in this case, the original airing had it as a single episode - not a "to be continued", and I'm going to side with IMDB on this one.
Fair. Just so long as we can agree that "The Cage" is episode 1 and not relegated to 0 as an "unaired pilot."
Oh, hell yeah. That was TOS, which is still, in my opinion, the best series, and absolutely the best time line.
I do not like the current time line, where Starfleet has black OPs and performs CIA-level "diplomacy."
