Star Trek
Welcome to a Star Trek community where you’re free to chat and share your opinions about all things Trek!
I want to have a place where fans can come to praise, discuss, and even criticise things in the Star Trek franchise. No show or movie is perfect, and I don't believe people should be silenced for having a dissenting opinion. That being said, there are still a few rules.
Be Nice - No personal attacks. You can disagree with someone's opinion, but it needs to stop there.
No Slurs - This is applicable to ethnicity, religion, gender, or anything else.
No Adult Content - Keep it family friendly.
No Spamming or Trolling - Consistently spamming comments or trolling is just not needed.
Keep Topics Trek Related - This is a Star Trek community, so of course discussion should stay in that area! That means no real world politics.

Got the bug to rewatch the TNG movies after rewatching the show. They really pushed the IP out of its comfort zone with those movies it feels like. Like sure there was mass death and body horror in the show itself but the movies made it feel much more real and visceral not just shaking the camera and having everyone stumble about in a cardboard set.
Little sidebar for the show too. For a show thats 35 years old its surprising how well some of the social development episodes hold up. Like for example "The Outcast" the one about a androgynous species where some start to have a preference the speech Soran gives at her inquisition is powerful and perfectly topical to today. On the other hand "Journeys End" the one with Native Americans is reeeealllly rough to watch nowadays
I felt the same way about the movies, and also some of the TOS movies. I've always thought Trek worked much better as a show.
