/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.

Star Trek TOS: watching for the 1st time (lemm.ee)

Holy hell, the miniskirts. I know it was progressive for its time, women's lib, etc. But: Female officers bending over console, butt swell hanging out. Almost every episode, over sexualized women needlessly emotional, constantly falling into male arms. Barely clothed, wisps of fabric. Spock saying that Kirk's alter ego trying to rape his female officer made him interesting.

I'm at episode 14, 1st season. Is the rest of the series like this?

That said, there's a hard, pure science to it I haven't seen in later star treks. Can see how people then would find it fascinating. Also gets deep, in a weighty, high drama way.

Roddenberry was very progressive and big on equal rights. But his attitude toward sexy woman was yes please.

William Ware Theiss was the costume designer for tos. Here is what he thought of the costumes.

Theiss Titillation Theory:

The attractiveness of clothing on women is not really dependent on the amount of skin shown - rather, it depends on the degree to which the outfit appears to be on the verge of falling off.

As far as the sci-fi concepts tos had a lot of big name scifi writers doing one off scripts. The later shows kept to in house writing teams. So tos is a lot more varied in both ideas and tone than any other Star Trek.

This leads to a lot of wierd inconstancies that you wouldn't see in any other trek. Like the Greek gods were absolutely real gods who just left to go to another planet. There is another planet that worships Jesus.

It's also fun to try to guess what episodes were done simply because they has access to the costumes from other productions at the studio. Nazi, gangster, native American, etc.
