Honestly, we can just let that one go, we don't need it

It is the reason we’ve got strange new worlds though.

Like a modern age Birth of Pegasus

Sure, but that does not mean you'd have to watch it ever again.

Edit: looks like I hit a spot with this one.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

I am actually gonna watch it again, i have watched Discovery before older star trek, ToS I still only watch highly rated episodes, TNG i watched fully, then DS9 now on second season of Voyager, Enterprise next.

After that I will watch discovery Picard and SNW and see how they compare to the others.

So far my favorites is between TnG and Voyager

It's actually a great sci-fi show if you completely ignore the fact that it's pretending to be star trek.

[–] racemaniac@startrek.website 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It is? I watched the first season, and the ending was so bad it just completely lost me. I'm not expecting much from most star trek story lines, but if your entire season is 1 big story and it's that bad...

I just started rewatching it still early in season one. But I do remember it gets better enough I felt it deserves a re-watch. Even season one is actually kinda good if you think of it as being it's own thing and not start trek.

[–] lightnegative@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I'm glad I'm not the only one

[–] TubeTalkerX@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, stopped watching after the first episode of Season 3, we can let it go.

I wouldn'tind an adult HBO based trek. Give me trek: Orion Or trek Klingon Or what ever.. something from a different pov and with a tvma rating. Could be decent

Out side of that.. meh fuck off

I never new I wanted this until right now.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I always wanted a Trek series that followed humans that were not part of the Federation. Maybe Maquis. Maybe characters more like Firefly's. Just in that universe and not bound to the rules and regulations we already know about through the other series.

Prodigy almost fits, except that the kids are aspiring to be like Starfleet so they are still following their rules and regulations... Mostly. Plus they're being guided by a holographic version of Janeway.

See, if they wanted to make a drama-fest Trek, THAT would be a perfect way. Discovery's style of bastardizing everything about Starfleet is exactly the wrong way. It shouldn't matter if they've made the same mistake in some of the Trek movies. It's ALWAYS a mistake to bastardize things instead of creating new angles.

Why not add yet another $20/mo subscription service?

[–] HairHeel@programming.dev 8 points 2 years ago

I’m a lot more worried about a DC/Star Trek crossover than I was about a Marvel/Star Wars crossover. The DC people are stupid enough to try it.

There’s always the high seas!

Come on, you know we all want t see a batman star Trek crossover

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

If this merger happens, I'm guessing we'll see one-season Star Trek shows, with the rest of the content removed from streaming.

[–] shiveyarbles@beehaw.org 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But what about a Disney + Paramount merger, Padawan?

[–] taanegl@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

That's when I horde all the Star Trek in a drive and never look back.

The Warner merger is bad enough, but Jesus Christ.
