#nu trek

I'm sorry but Starfleet Academy is actually awesome. It feels like we finally have a low stakes, character driven, conflict of the week type story back. I do wish for a bit more techno-babble in the future tho.

"Discovery isn't canon" "Picard isn't canon" "SNW isn-"

Shut the hell up. NOTHING IS CANON IN STAR TREK. Not even TOS. The only canon in Star Trek is a singular frame from TAS. Nothing else. One. Singular. Frame.

How would you "save" Star Trek / make it mainstream again?

Do you prefer it to be super niche?

(Please don't answer "I'd make it less woke", or something along those lines. I'm tired.)

I don't know man, when I hear about DS9 crew members collapsing from exhaustion or long days of cast members being bullied on the set of Voyager, I don't know if 26 episodes a season is even something I would want anymore.

And people say things like "if you get longer seasons, we get weird episodes like Sub Rosa and Move Along Home," but seriously are you asking people to make deliberately bad episodes in the hope they'll become cult favourites by 2056?

Anyway it doesn't matter what we think, franchises will do whatever they think will make money.

This is not a g*y post, I just like Klingons.

When someone says they dislike NuTrek, I have a hard time believing that they dislike the Abrams movies, Discovery, Picard, Lower Decks, Prodigy AND Strange New Worlds, especially if they like all 6 classic series. Chances are they only watched part of one or two series from the NuTrek era and just gave up after that.

Been seeing a lot of posts on my dash lately along the lines of "I hate [entire star trek series], and to prove my point, here's an extremely nitpicky thing that annoys me about this series". This reads as steeping oneself in negativity for fun. Naturally, instead of unfollowing people, I am going to complain about it,

fundamentally i think star trek is a 'cowboys and indians' fantasy from people raised in the 1940s. but at least roddenberry and co. considered that in its construction -- the cowboys are made to leave those without guns and trains alone, and their humanoid adversaries are typically given enough depth to read passably as actual people.

an exception for modern 'trek, of course, as in all things. that's a thoughtless product of the current usamerican zeitgeist of normalized evil. kurtzman and his merry band of jesters jingling 'round, serving heaping bowls of apologia cloaked in shitty one-liners and lasers
