Welcome to a Star Trek community where you’re free to chat and share your opinions about all things Trek!

I want to have a place where fans can come to praise, discuss, and even criticise things in the Star Trek franchise. No show or movie is perfect, and I don't believe people should be silenced for having a dissenting opinion. That being said, there are still a few rules.

Be Nice - No personal attacks. You can disagree with someone's opinion, but it needs to stop there.

No Slurs - This is applicable to ethnicity, religion, gender, or anything else.

No Adult Content - Keep it family friendly.

No Spamming or Trolling - Consistently spamming comments or trolling is just not needed.

Keep Topics Trek Related - This is a Star Trek community, so of course discussion should stay in that area! That means no real world politics.

I haven't watched any of it other than a few clips, but it seems people like that season!

The first half of the first season and this season are worth the rest it seems. Otherwise they shifted too far from what makes Star Trek what it is. Though the one with Pike is really good and gets it. A bit too modern at times but overall the best attempt of any of the new stuff in my opinion.

I've tried Lower Decks a few times and I just can't get into it. And the other one with the spore drive would have been fine in many other universes, but not this one.

Of the new shows I really enjoy Strange New Worlds, and enjoyed a fair amount of the more serious sections of Lower Decks. A lot of the humor in LD felt like it was trying too hard, and I often didn't find it funny. I have a different sense of humor than some though, so that probably doesn't help!

I did try both Discovery and Picard, but neither of them worked for me. Maybe someday I'll feel like finishing them!

Sounds like we're in the same boat! Great to have company.

I'm hopeful for Star Trek Academy. The trailer looks good.

I'm definitely going to give it a try, I try to keep my expectations in check so I'm not disappointed though!

Good call! That's why I don't watch trailers once I've decided to watch something. Hype ruins stuff for me.
