Starfleet HQ

The Federations source for all Star Trek news, updates, and discussion.

Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not Klingon
Engage respectfully with fellow crew members.

  • No harassment, brigading, or trolling
  • No bigotry (racism, sexism, transphobia, etc.)
  • Disagreeing is fine, but personal attacks are not

Rule 2 — Stay On Topic
Posts should be related to Star Trek: news, updates, official announcements, or meaningful discussion.

  • Off-topic content may be removed
  • Memes should be quarantined under a level 5 containment field to !Risa@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Rule 3 — No Prohibited Content
Some things are not allowed aboard the ship.

  • No spam or scams
  • No illegal content
  • No porn or sexually explicit material
  • NSFW content must be properly tagged

Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Is Not Starfleet
You can have your opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek, but forcing them on others is not allowed.

  • Everyone’s perspective is valid, TOS purists and Lower Decks fans alike
  • Keep debates about canon and quality friendly and inclusive

If you see a post breaking the rules, report it so the moderators can handle it. If you'd like to be a mod, shoot Stamets a message.

I don't. It will be the death of Star Trek. This obsession with nostalgia means that Star Trek will never evolve, will never change, will never move past the point that it's already at. It will just stagnate and be perpetually stuck in the era of the 90s because people are too afraid of something new. Meanwhile, Star Trek's whole thing is about exploring the new.

I don't want veteran actors. We got that with Picard. We need something new to bring in new people. to spark new stories. To learn new lessons.

You are completely and objectively correct. My mind sees and accepts the wisdom you have shared.

Yet, heart wants what the heart wants. And my heart says "Captain Worf Mini Series".

Totally valid. Sorry if I came off a bit harsh there, meant to say my opinion but was just waking up and all derpy.

No worries. You didn't come off as harsh. I just took it as the usual community passion for one of our favorite shows. I generally expect empassioned thoughtful discussion here. It's what many of us were raised on, after all.

That's fair <3 I just should have thrown something in saying in my opinion or whatever. I didn't wanna come off as one of those guys saying there's only one way or anything.
