With nu BSG, you also risk (real life) tonal whiplash from the 'retardad Texas man bad' overtones/undertones. It's actually funny how much they all used to hate him, seeing where we are now.

I vaguely remember seeing an interview back in the day where Edward James Olmos (the guy who played Barack Hussein Adama) said that Dubyah was basically Hitler, and it's almost quaint now.

It's good to know black women are still wearing weaves and making funny faces in the far future Star Trek world.

What kind of military organization (and Starfleet IS a fucking space navy before any pacifists get their panties in a bunch) would allow that hair style on duty? It's completely unprofessional.

In the Kurtzmanverse, obese people and cripples are allowed to join Starfleet so I doubt that they care about the hair style.
 
I kinda want to delve into some Trek games, but looking at the selection for PC makes me sad.

So much potential for great video games unrealized. Just imagine a whole Elder Scrolls style combat RPG based around Klingon history. Or huge procedurally generated universes ripe for exploration as the captain of a starship. Stealth based political intrigue set during the Dominion War.
Just so much you could do with Trek and we got only a handful of games from the franchise in the 50+ years it's been around. Fucking sad.

On another thread, I mentioned how Defiance was akin to the Western series, Deadwood, with science fiction elements. While the final episode of the third season gave a proper ending for the series and the main characters, I feel this show could have benefited from a spinoff given the worldbuilding it established throughout the series.

Starfleet is multicultural. Ro gets to wear her pagh earring, Worf gets to wear his Miss Universe sash, and Michael gets to wear her hair however she wants. Have we gotten an obese danger hair with a full sleeve and a nose ring yet, because that subculture needs representation, too.
 
For all Star Trek's progressivism it has always opposed assisted suicide. TNG's "Ethics" and DS9's "The Quickening" where it's seen as morally repugnant.

There were some pretty chunky Bajorans in Ops in the background on DS9.

Or half a life though Chuck points out it is debatable. There is at least a culture in the show of executing the old.

Every time I think about the stupid hairstyles in modern Trek, I remember that TOS believed that beehives and Jheri curl would still be popular in the 23rd century, so I don't worry about it as much.

All the Starfleet Command games are pretty good, some of the old CD ROM FMV games are decent, my favorite one is Borg solely because of John de Lancie. Dominion Wars was a decentish RTS for its time and you can still get it going on modern PCs. The TOS games on Steam are still well reviewed if you want to play a game that plays out like a classic episode. There's also a bunch of Star Trek mods for games like Stellaris, Sins of a Solar Empire, etc.

Yeah the game selection is a bit dated, no argument there, but what came before are still great games even if they may look a little rough by todays standards.
