Star Trek - Space: The Final Frontier

[XYZpdq Jr.]

Trek is doomed.

I really can't wait for it to die.
A couple of years ago I got a really classy TOS Ent Command logo pin (I prefer to rock Ops but obviously that doesn't get as much play and it was, like, a buck ) then after I got it home I realized how much shit upon crap it's now attached to and it's not even an obvious split like Darth Kylobine or the Ducktroopers

It's so bad on that fat'addar femoid. I know, I know, we've said it over and over again but they literally don't know a single thing about Jem'Hadar. Talking with some nice demure fake british. What the fuck is this shit. Jem'Hadar spoke in growling monotone voices.

It breaks my fucking heart. The Jem'Hadar is such a fucking cool race. They existed for only one purpose and it's to be the deadly end of a shapeshifter's tentacle and they reveled in it. Seeing them turned into this docile femoid is sickening.

The humiliation ritual must continue.

Keep in mind the Nu-Trek Prime Directive: only white cis males can be evil, everyone else is a oppressed minority and thus csn only be good.

Fucking hell, decided to hop on Star Trek Online for the winter event and the servers just keep booting me off. And I can tell from perusing their discord I'm not the only one with this issue, because there's at least two or three threads about it in the "Feedback" section. Nice to get a reminder of why I stopped playing.

Just ignore everything made after 2005. That's the only way to stay sane.

Shit's getting grim in here again

More stuff to remind you why Trek is great and that there is nothing "they" can do to take away what we have.

These idiots think science is like magic.

and it has to be wacky because "it's the fuuUUutuuUUure". They don't get that they still have to follow the rules of the Star Trek universe, but then again, they never cared about the source material in the first place, they just wanted to use the IP.
Remember the huge empty space inside the Discovery? That was before they even jumped to the future setting...

People hated the Enterprise-J but it was a good take on a far future ship design.

She is half-Jem'Hadar, half-Klingon. I'm not kidding.

Remember how B’Elanna was basically a metaphor for “mixed race identity”? Every week she’s at war with her inner Klingon, her inner human.

Now they’re like “okay but what if we combined a Klingon with murder rhino.” I’m supposed to care? Because Worf and some Jem'Hadar did the anime nod of mutual respect one time.

"I am the offspring of two warrior races...but I can't even do a single sit up."

I don’t mind having a fat woman in Star Trek but making her fat and Cockney and Black? It’s like they spun the representation wheel too many times. She looks like she teaches “Defence Against Salad" at Hogwart's.

Voyager is boarded and overrun by a mysterious alien race and all that stands between the crew and death is the hologram doctor, Neelix, and a half-Klingon/half-Latina with her chancalas.

You can see where it started to rot...

I've bumped into a true anomaly. I know a man whose favorite Star Trek is Discovery.

I'd like to reassure you all that you read that correctly: I didn't say he just liked discovery as one option out of many, or that there are aspects of Discovery that he thinks are done the best; this man's favorite Star Trek series—out of TOS, TNG, VOY, DS9, ENT, and even every other Nu-Trek property—is Discovery.

I hear what you're thinking: "It must be a political thing. He must be some kinda big idpol lefty guy who only pretends to like it for its 'representation' or something." No. This man is on a byzantine choir for his local Orthodox Church, and he's a recent convert with kids. I'm pretty sure the dude is a monarchist. He's also old enough to have been alive when a lot of the older ones aired.

He might be a genuinely alien mind. I asked him why he'd pick Discovery as his favorite, and I didn't understand his answer at the time—even if I could remember it well enough to repeat it here, which I don't.



Cool guy, though. I just thought the thread should be kept abreast of this developing first contact situation.

Stopped reading there, because...

I'm convinced Lower Decks writers just sit around and pull up random articles from Memory Alpha and then try to make jokes out of them.

Also, that s1 episode reminded me of something, I have never seen a main cast member of a TV show get so fucking fat over the course of the show. Don't they have stuff in their contract about that?

Jem'Hadar spoke in growling monotone voices.

"I... am eight."


A lot of Jem'Hadar had a kind of... mocking tone too. Like they weren't deadpan, they had a bit of sass.

Don't they have stuff in their contract about that?

Not since Gene died

This bugs me more than anything in Nu-Trek. "Oh, but it's realistic" Yeah, but it's supposed to be a vision of humanity better than what we have now.

I mean even ignoring that, it's supposed to be a professional setting with processional people.

The TOS crew swore from time to time in the movies, and it had impact when they did, but they kept it to a normal level I.E. not every 5 seconds. You got like 3 "damn"s and one "son of a bitch" per movie.

Constant vulgarity and hyper-casual dialogue in a setting like Star Trek just comes off as bizarre. Nu-Trek has grown ass characters talking and acting like teenagers.

Cockney

That's not a cockney accent. It's vaguely estuary, but is guess it's meant to be what's now often called multicultural London English. Yardie cant.

In the past maybe but not anymore. The production is obsessed with the Hollywood progressive agenda that they wouldn't dare ask a woman to lose weight for a role.
By the way, the actress also came out as "bisexual" right after she had her baby so she knows the game.
