/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.

People were mad it didn't follow the book when Adam's was very insistent all versions of Hitchhiker's should be different.
Yeah. The radio play, books, TV series, and film were all different.
isn't he the one who flat out said its boring to just tell the same story again?
Cleary a comic book fan
Honestly that's the other thing in my mind. I know Adams was very clear he just wanted to change up the story but it was either him or some major comic writer who specifically said adaptations being the same story over and over are just boring.
That's a very silly take imo, I've watched some movies 20 or more times, and if I go watch a movie from a book I would like to see the story from that bloody book.
Then complain that the book was a departure from the radio play he based the book on lol
So you are saying I don't even know the real thing, now I'm really pissed off. My point is if uou want to tell a different story, give it a different name.
He even wrote most of the movie. Including the bits that really pissed off book fans.
I know it went through a lot of rewrites after he died but i never really heard what of his survived. what was his that pissed people off the most?
The one I saw get brought up a lot was the Arthur/Trillian romance. He had actually experimented with that in drafts for other versions, too, but the movie was the first time it got all the way to the final product.
aaaaaaaaaah yeah. that definitely pissed people off.
I was mad that they removed all the good jokes
