You're fooling yourself if you don't want to see the sharp decrease in quality post DS9. The best Trek series of the last 25 years is Orville ffs

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'd give strange new worlds a pass as being better than Orville, but yeah, it's definitely the exception to the rule.

Fair, Strange New Worlds is great

LOL I had a whole reply typed out before I realized this was sarcasm. A+ example of a red flag.

You're so threatened by people who like different TV shows than you that you have to pretend their opinions aren't serious?

I don't really like any Trek past DS9 Don't hate me

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This is the good take. Star Trek peaked at DS9 and there's yet to be a good reason to continue past it.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Biggest red flag in the entire thread. You win.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

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

"You are allowed to have your opinion so long as you don't share it"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

But they did share it and were cool about it. It's people who say stuff like "this is shit and people who like it are shit" that need to cool their jets.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 7 months ago

Who said you can't share it? It's not illegal to be annoying 🤷‍♂️

If it doesn't have 20+ episode seasons it's nutrek

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

So season one of DS9 and voyager?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

NuTrek apparently began in 1973.

Both panels are acceptable and objectively correct.

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)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The Cage is peak trek

Never accepted Kirk and those after as real trek

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

You better be referring to the original broadcast recorded to magnetic tape and not the abomination that is the DVD release

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Yeah, who wanted this visual reboot of the Klingons between old trek and nutrek?
