So instead of an unknown calamity in the near future, one which is unknown because it can't be predicted, and because it's supposed to be a mirror to the audience, "its us if we're not careful", they've specified that it was specifically the "alt right" / political wrongthinkers who started a civil war, then Eugenics Wars, then WW3. Nu-Trek canon is conservatives caused the apocalypse that gave rise to the Federation.

Thanks, Kurtzman. I hate it.

They even showed footage from THE WORST DAY IN AMERICAN HISTORY Jan. 6. I can't wait to join Col. Greene in exterminating soyboy bugmen and other genetic mutants.

Here's a question, so in Season 1 of Picard the Federation is racist, there's poverty everywhere, and shit is fucked. In the alternate future of the Confederation everything looks far more futuristic, people of all races are unified, and all of the universe's threats seem to be eliminated from the Borg to the Dominion, so are they saying that the Nazis were right?

What is the most cowardly and shameful thing in human conduct? It’s when people with power, and people who flatter them, hide in safe places and extol war, force patriotism and self-sacrifice upon others, and then send them to the battlefield to die.

The Federation is becoming the FPA and they need a Reinhard von Lohengramm to fix it.
 
SG:U was excellent. I miss it :(

A show that really captures the Star Trek vibe at times without being Star Trek is Stargate: Universe. It's a lot more about exploration and the weakest parts for me were the ones where they fell back on old Stargate tropes. It was also a show that really explored a lot of weird sci-fi stuff in new ways which can show that there's more ways to approach the topic than pew-pew lasers.

Sorry this has been explained but how can Q be dying? We had a whole fucking court case about a Q wanting to kill himself, they had a war afterwards but I thought that was Q killing other Q in a purge

It was a show with a lot of flaws but the stuff it did right was good enough to make it a great show in my opinion. Robert Carlyle is also just a great actor for that type of character, though I guess the canon is they all died because Eli fucked up in the end, unless they release something in the future to tie up the ending of season 2.

The snippet of Will Wheaton (that cock-gargling abomination) doing an interview and asking the actors if it wasn't too intense to play alongside those ICE characters.

Man, I'm powerleveling a bit, but I remember when people on forums back when DS9 was still airing were going full "not muh Trek". But, I dunno. It didn't disregard continuity and it did a better job of showing how the Federation's ideals did (And didn't) stand up to a full-on war as well as tell some really nuanced stories with a lot of subtlety. "In the Pale Moonlight" is such a fantastic episode in particular.

DS9 was great but not because it was a grimdark deconstruction of Star Track as some people misremember (it wasn't), but because it had a great cast and great writing.

It was a refreshing change of tone from TNG, which was a bit too blandly self righteous for its own good. Sisko was kind of an asshole (when he wasn't a Magnificent Bastard), but unlike the Tumblr-tier cast of NuTrek he was a competent and professional asshole who usually treated people with respect. He was also a good Dad, something that requires the actor and script to portray a level of emotional maturity to pull off. NuTrek is for emotionally arrested Millennial man-and/or-womanchildren who literally can't adult, they don't know how. You can imagine Ben Sisko, or Julian Bashir, or even poor Miles O'Brien doing actual jobs that require intelligence, discipline and diligence. You can't imagine NuTrek characters doing those things, because they're written by people who can't get thru the day without crying and shaking on social media.

Also the girls of DS9 were hot and I would slingshot around the sun and travel back to 1997 to have sex with them.

Oh, it just turns out they’re not actually immortal.

That’s it.
 
And of course, they end the season with a sky portal-laser.

They should go back to writing video games and not touch a series that used to require more thinking.
 
Color me surprised they saved the ( explicit ) Trump mention for SNW.

I would've figured it'dve been PIC , knowing that writing group & Stewart's tendencies

As to PIC , it's funny how they ignore the books except for parts of Kirsten Beyers CEBUH* entries ( Q alone , wife missing , son dead )

Alright, so I watched Strange New Worlds....

Seemingly the Gorn captured a colony ship, and used the colonists as either food or egg incubators...as a ritual of a sort.

Like...I understand future humans are pussified, but how the fuck have they survived as a species? Wouldn't the Romulans/Klingons/Cardassians, or hell, even pre-Federation Andorians be a bit pissed?

I know it's a throwaway line for "Lady is last survivor on doomed expedition but holy shit, how about not turn the Gorn into a species deserving of complete eradication?

That sounds like it retcons Arena pretty damn hard too. The Gorn were trying to defend their young... that were incubated from the dead colonists. Kirk has less of a reason to spare him then.
