Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

It’s so far up on the Good Trek scale that it has left the meme
Also needs Babylon 5 way outside the triangle. And Lexx in a corner smoking a crack pipe.
I'm not sure Lexx is crack. Maybe ecstasy or something like that. One of the uncomfortably touchy-feely party drugs where you worry that the person on it is going to start tonguing your elbow, and you really just need some personal space.
Agreed but there is the faitest smitdge of meth in there as well, lets be honest.
And Lexx in a corner smoking a crack pipe.
Brilliant. And farscape?
Shrooms.
crack
Shrooms
Lexx is more like a bad salvia trip and being roofied.

B5 is somewhere between not trek and good trek. I love it
I love B5. I don't remember any of Lexx, but I think I saw an episode or two as a teen.
Only thing I remember from Lexx are that the ship is a really powerful weapon of some kind and the scary hot girl made me feel things.
I thought I remembered it being on Skinimax, but it doesn't look like that was the case. Why do I think Pamela Anderson was on it?
I don’t remember any of Lexx
See? Like I just replied further up...
Lexx is like a bad salvia trip and being roofied.
I hate new Trek. A bald French captain with an English accent? A blind man flying the ship? The first officer is completely unprofessional, trying to bang every woman he sees (Even holograms! The ship has a virtual brothel, now!). It wont survive a year, I guarantee it.
Sorry but except for LD, everything NuTrek doesn't fit at the top of that triangle for me, and belongs in either one of the bottom corner.
Or maybe I just don't like Star Trek anymore. Just like Seymour; am I wrong for not liking NuTrek? No, it's the children who are wrong!
Huh. I'll have to give Lower Decks a chance; it's the only one with the name Kurtzman attached that I haven't yet watched and been disappointed by.
Lower Decks is top tier Star Trek.
The more widespread your Star Trek knowledge, the more you'll enjoy it.
It's Star Trek written by true Star Trek nerds.
What if you don't enjoy people acting obnoxiously? S.O.L.?
Then stick through the first couple eps. The characters do develop. I was kinda meeeer first watch, but then it found its feets
Just like every other trek series it takes a bit to grow the beard.

I thoroughly enjoyed Lower Decks, just because it's a comedy doesn't mean it isn't serious sci fi with real stakes like any other trek show. It highlights how absurd the writing of trek throughout can be and still rolls with it, still treating that absurdity with the same seriousness as everything else crazy in the universe.
it is the one of trek through clips that was watachable and enjoyable. they had to sacrifice prodigy too.
Nah I felt the same with Discovery and SNW. They both suffer from short seasons that don't really go exploring in favor of drama. SNW just seems more like a retread of TOS with Captain Pike. Are we ever going to go further in the continuity after 90s Trek?
While I want to say that the combined effort of JJ Abrams and DIS have thoroughly trampled that possibility. PIC

Discovery soured me so much i haven't watched anything but Picard since.
Wise. Keep what little sanity and composure and faith in humanity you have left.

std and snw suffers from kurtzmans agenda, and poor writing direction. not because its a short season. it was terrible form the get go, snw is somewhat better but the actors are so wooden in thier acting.
i forgot the nutrek has no exploration at all, its just a convoluted Enemy that turns out to be a dud. remember the "burn" its an overgrown manchild that screams and destroys ships in the future. a whole season build up only to drop it the next season.

Nah, it's not you. Trek has changed for the worse. Sure, it's pretty and shot well, and the actors are trying. Though the writing is modern action drama for the most part. It's not written to be timeless. It's not written to be intelligent first. It's written to be "entertaining" first.
Everyone says later seasons of Picard are good, but... I just cannot. I cannot accept the universe they built. 1.5 entire seasons of shit drag it down for me. I'd take another SNW singing episode over Picard.
Academy is still continuing in the entertainment first route, but it at least seems like they're attempting to inject a little intelligence into it. Still a bit dubious on saying it's "good" trek, but at least it's not corrupt trash. Or maybe the rest of the junk has just eaten away at my sensibilities.
Picard was pretty bad from start to finish, they dropped the borg alliance the moment season 2 ended. and it was obvious baity to include the "enterprise" crew in the last few episodes.

There was a Holiday Special?!
Always two, a master and an apprentice.
Orville sits with galaxy quest. End of.
Galaxy Quest could be a great TV series. At least it deserves a sequel.
You can't have a sequel to Galaxy Quest without Alan Rickman, may he rest in peace. He cannot be replaced.
bad trek should have all of nutrek on it, good trek is the old trek. LD and prodigy fits in between old and bad trek. orville is "trek-like" kurtzmans trek and jj abram isnt really trek, is just "fan service without the " spirit of old trek and trying to target new audience, that are lowest common denominators. (all flash and no substance).
orville is more TREK-like than kurtzman's nutrek.
This is the way!!
Obvious ragebait is obvious.
There's a Star TREK Holiday Special?
Is it worse than the Star WARS Holiday Special?
