/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. 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.

That description seems way more accurate to Stargate SG-1 than Enterprise
Post 9/11 Star Trek Enterprises was by far the most war crime apologist of the major sci fi shows. Stargate, despite being far less idealistic by nature, shows things like torture as something that bad guys do, in Farscape John Crichton is horrified by what the US is becoming.
Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Enterprise painted those actions as pretty horrific nine times out of ten, and the tenth is even murky. Stargate shows a bunch of Americans literally walking through portals to places they've never seen to unilaterally declare people the bad guys, interfere violently and get a shitload of people killed in the process all to push their own ideals and misunderstandings of the universe/democracy onto everyone else. Despite the fact that the United States is a shitshow. They learn almost nothing from their examples except for what they fuckin' steal.
So when it comes to calling it 'America in Space'... Enterprise doesn't even fall on the list for me.
