Unrelated to meme but I've decided this is now a Star Trek general thread and wanted to dump random thoughts.
I've been trying to catch up on the new-Trek I hadn't scene. Right now I've just finished Discovery S3 and find it hilarious they just did Andromeda. It's extremely obvious, but I've heard nobody talk about this so far. Have new-Trek fans just not seen Andromeda?
For those unfamiliar, it was a show based on unused material from Gene Roddenberry but not set in Star Trek. The titular ship was part of the "Systems Commonwealth", but gets thrown forward in time and finds it has collapsed in the centuries that have passed. The captain sets out to restore the "Commonwealth" in the effectively post-apocalyptic galaxy.
Discovery is the same, just swap Commonwealth for Federation. This is at least as close as DS9 was to Babylon 5. What a weird source to pull from.
I didn't hate it as much as I thought I would to be honest. I guess blowing everything up and starting again is a lot more appealing after just having watched Picard S3. A nascent, post-apocalyptic Federation is a good premise for some political drama. The show is still bad in most of the same ways it always has been, but this is way better than red angel bullshit from S2.
