  • Nah, new star trek doesn’t feel classic enough because it’s too netflixed out. Meaning it doesn’t fit comfortable aesthetics, doesn’t feel self-contained (stand alone episodes). Doesn’t feel in-world, and isn’t set in a likeable section of time in Star Trek lore.

    Most people who don’t like New Star Trek want a TNG, VOY, or DS9 era timeline, featuring a strong actress or actor as the Captain, that’s episodic in nature, and operates as a philosophical defense/testing/statement about the best parts of western progressive/liberal democracy using sci fi as a metaphor or container.

    Star Trek isn’t a place for dark gritty season long arcs that feel like movies that aren’t going anywhere. No, we want philosophical premises, in well let carpeted spaces, about interesting technology, aliens, and psychology… That years later we realise were subtle commentaries (or even hopeful suggestions) about real world problems.

    Lower Decks is currently the best fit for this.

    I don’t know the toilet brush doesn’t have to work two or three times a day… In fact, he works once a month at best and tends to come out clean.

    Tooth brushes die so much quicker because of job related stress. It also gets the impression of being eaten every time.

    …I think the tooth brush may have it worse.
