I've taken to the term 3rd-wave Trek for the 2010s-present shows to identify the stylistic differences in production compared to shows made in the 80s-90s or 60s.
Each era is molded by the media conventions of it's time. And there I go reinventing Marshal McLuhan again: "the medium is the message"
I don’t mind the Kelvin films. Karl Urban as Bones makes it all worth while.
They’re just popcorn flicks. Watch or don’t watch and it’s not like the Star Trek Universe is altered in any way. (Also, those movies are better than everything after Wrath of Khan, movie-wise)
I don't really like any Trek past DS9 Don't hate me
This is the good take. Star Trek peaked at DS9 and there's yet to be a good reason to continue past it.
Biggest red flag in the entire thread. You win.
Ah yes, "my opinion is infallible and I'm righteous for screaming it from the rooftops, but your opposing opinion is ignorant and worthy of dismissal!"
Red flag indeed, friend.
This is so good I literally can't tell if you're doing copypasta or not
VOY and ENT are good
Never liked VOY, writing is poor.... Not interesting sci-fi like TNG, not a captivating story like DS9...
The Doctor is essentially the only good part. Maybe Seven of Nine, Jery Ryan is a great actress, despite the embarrassing clothing.
SNW is good, DIS is whack. PIC essentially crapped all over the past series' development, killed Hugh, Ro, Icheb, made the Federation grimdark... Monk Worf was cool tho.
Voyager's writing is inconsistent. There's some fantastic episodes... and then there's salamanders.
As long as you don't take every available opportunity to steer every single online conversation towards how you don't like a tv show then we're cool
If it doesn't have 20+ episode seasons it's nutrek
So season one of DS9 and voyager?
NuTrek apparently began in 1973.
I mean, technically everything from TNG onwards would be NuTrek and Kelvin-stuff would be NuNuTrek, or rather Re-Trek, since it's a reboot.
NuTrek started when they did a full visual reboot, including completely changing the look of the Klingons: TMP.
Then it got worse, when they followed that up with a grimdark shoot-em-up that felt nothing like Trek. These people aren't even fans of the show!
Who wanted a visual reboot of the Klingons?
Discovery had so many problems for me: ship flies on magic mushrooms, her mom basically doesn't care about her anymore by the end of it - the show-starting plot line, and the Klingons look like sweaty orcs.
Yeah, who wanted this visual reboot of the Klingons between old trek and nutrek?
The Cage is peak trek
Never accepted Kirk and those after as real trek
You better be referring to the original broadcast recorded to magnetic tape and not the abomination that is the DVD release
