There's been a crapload of "tail wagging" going on in these forums for decades.
What difference does that make?
;)

It's the first Trek show to take place in two completely different centuries, might just as well let it set a precedence here in the BBS as well.

And if they do three seasons of Picard like they plan it will take place on two different centuries too!

Having two forums for one show would be insane. The current method of organisation is silly anyway. Just divide them into past shows and currently airing shows like many people have suggested.

True, but no where near the same time-jump as DISCOVERY.
PICARD will still be time linear from episode to episode.
(unless of course "Q" shows up and starts some kind of shenanigans)
:techman:

Insane why?
Do you honestly think that folks won't be able to figure out that DISCOVERY has two completely different time periods it takes place in?
Season Three is going to be so completely different from One & Two (a whole new Era and Story line) that it very much makes sense to me for it to have its own section.
(one could even consider it a brand new show with reused characters)
 
This might sound totally insane, but alphabetical order might just be the most straightforward way to go. :)

For the person who just wants to check out a DSC forum without having seen the show before, having 2 separate forums for it would be confusing to say the least.
 
As for why a Picard forum is needed now, I know I'm looking forward to it. I know there's the whole which comes first argument - do you wait to build a forum until there's enough discussion, or will building the forum be what brings in more discussion - but in this case I do think that conversation will take off even more once a new forum is created. I've personally held back on creating a thread or two until the forum is in place, as I feel that it will get more eyes that way. A lot of people (myself included) browse this forum for years but don't venture into Future of Trek very often, if they even realize it exists.
 
A Picard forum would just be more work for the mods as they referee yet more arguments centred around the colour of an orange. :shrug:

At the risk of sounding incredibly ignorant or insensitive why not post it and it will get moved to the new forum? I mean, discussion is discussion, right?

I think that a separate Picard forum will get more traffic, meaning more people will have the opportunity to see and respond to my post. If I start it here, it may be dead by the time it gets moved to the new forum.

Anything obviously Picard-specific that you start here should eventually be moved to the Picard forum, whenever that happens.
 
Can we also create an entire Trek movie sub-forum that is entirely centered only around the "Galaxy Quest" movie? Please?
 
The nineties are back baby!
Just wait until all this 80 nostalgia stuff is done. It's already started with Cpt. Marvel and Suicide squad and Dr. Strange. Blacklight poster aesthetics are all the rage again!

For the THIRD Time...
