  • Anon tries watching nu-Trek

  • I agree that allegory can be effective in ways that tackling issues head on isn’t, but the opposite is equally true. I don’t think addressing real world issues in a very direct way like DS9 did with Benny Russell or the Bell Riots made it a worse show in any way.

    Regardless, as far as I can see, Discovery never went the “Benny Russel” route. They operated more like TOS did - they presented a diverse crew working together while addressing issues like fascism, isolationism, and climate collapse allegorically.

  • Holodeck characters might be a bit too realistic.

  • True, it was basically data’s memory of Moriarty. But that actually makes it even stranger that it aged.

  • Is that hard?

  • Nah, Picard was the gross one. He made the decision to date a subordinate in Lessons, and it ended with the woman in question transferring to another ship.

    Kirk pointedly kept it in his pants when it came to the women under his command (unless he was under the influence of an alien virus, or artificial memories, or personality altering transporter accident…)

  • Bracing for the worst

    Jump

  • At a very basic level, the concept could work - jump into the future to show how the crew's adventures are remembered. Babylon 5 succeeded at the same kind of idea for their excellent Season 4 finale.

    But B5 showed that the characters left a profound and enduring legacy. In These Are The Voyages, Riker consumes the story of Trip's death like it's a mildly engaging episode of a daytime soap - between the scenes of a better episode that works much better without the addition. It's just the worst execution you could imagine.

  • Proving that you're a Trekkie

    Jump

  • Does the ringship count? I'm not sure at what point a "spaceship" becomes a "starship".

  • When someone list "Star Trek" as their favorite television show.

    Jump

  • Absolutely. nuTrek is supposed to be the sex starved one? Commander Riker would have something to say about that, but he’s busy on holodeck four.

  • One sad boy VS perfection

    Jump

  • Strange New Worlds spins off from Discovery and carries on plot elements established there. Section 31 continues Georgiou’s story, and Starfleet Academy is picking up on the 31st century setting and characters. That’s a lot of ongoing influence.

  • "Star Trek is woke now"

    Jump

  • In a wordplay way, sure, but he consistently presents male. In contrast to the character who is literally referred to as “the female changeling”.

  • Up is an illusion in space

    Jump

  • Technically, this only needs to be the practice of Starfleet (or even just human) navigators in order to account for 99% of what we see in Star Trek. Maybe it's our guys who are doing all the careful orienting, and the alien of the week just comes in from whatever angle they want.

  • Give yourselves a round of applause 🖖

    Jump

  • No, no, more like "I'm going to fly a shuttle outside your quarters so I can spy on you during your date"
