I was not a fan of seasons 1-3 pretty much at all (3 was ok), but 4 was one of my favorite seasons of any Trek and 5 is also very good. I would be interested to read a follow up post when you’re finished!

In another thread @ValueSubtracted@startrek.website described this plot as “Extremely TOS” and I went from not-hating-but-not-loving it to having much more positive feelings. Is it silly? Yes. Is it humanist? Also yes. And what’s more Star Trek than that?

If they were smart they would find a way to paywall all the years-old posts where someone is like “hey how do I fix this specific part on my 1992 sewing machine” and it has a single reply with the answer.

I just did earlier this week!!

I did too! Watched it on initial release but skipped the finale, then watched a second time with the finale. Like a lot of Trek it is even better the second time, there is a shocking amount of attention to detail for a silly cartoon.

My favorite aspect that LDS really nailed was that it regularly turned a Trek trope on it’s head, and the “twist” in so many episodes turned out to be a positive well-intentioned misunderstanding instead of an ulterior motive.

I’m inclined to agree, and the series from the past decade have definitely attracted a younger audience, though I’m guessing probably not to the degree the producers were hoping and also without holding onto as many of the olds as they were hoping.

I also think the latter half of the 20th century was a unique time where families were sitting down to watch family-friendly (it’s true don’t deny it) TV like Star Trek together.

I see this take a lot, but it frankly just doesn’t reflect what I see on the screen. Can you give some examples from the shows that influenced you to form that opinion? I agree DS9 could probably be correctly be considered “dystopian , brooding and militaristic”, sure, but Discovery, Picard and SNW are (if anything) cloyingly optimistic and positive!

Instead of predicting the future they are trying to force one upon everyone.

OP if you enjoy a fun weekend project, don’t go with a pi-hole. It literally only takes about 5 minutes. Also I recommend the blocklistproject lists https://blocklistproject.github.io/Lists/

Honestly curious what kind of content you believe requires less effort to post than an image macro?

Same, I’ve already finished a second watch through

The deflector on the nebula class just always looks like a dumb little mouth to to me

I’ve watched this seven times and I can confirm that it gets dumber every time. 10/10.

LOL is this OC? Nicely done.

Correct! Teenage Mutant Binja Gurtles.

That was the best Syfy-channel-pilot-for-a-show-that-ultimatley-didn’t-get-picked-up-from-2002 that I’ve ever seen.
