The only fake trekkies are the ones complaining that newer Trek is too political or "woke."

What show did they even watch?

[-] RojoSanIchiban@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

They're not "too political" or "woke," they're written by terrible committees and the executive producers / show runners are hacks.

Lower Decks (and Prodigy, I'm told) excluded.

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 25 points 10 months ago

Strange New Worlds is fantastic and takes plenty of risks other shows don't.

It’s a little little hit or miss. I really liked some of it, but some of the early stuff wasn’t so great.

[-] aeronmelon@lemm.ee 29 points 10 months ago

So it really is Star Trek, then. :P

[-] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 18 points 10 months ago

People like to forget how many shit episodes of every series there are.

The best Star Trek show is the one you like the most. If that's Discovery, that's fine. And if you don't like the show, that's also fine. But making an overall declaration that a show is terrible and tacitly expecting everyone to agree is not cool.

Isn't this Han Solo and Chewbacca?

[-] orthen@feddit.de 5 points 10 months ago

No, this is Patrick (and perhaps Jonathan?)

No, I'm pretty sure it's Malcolm Reynolds and Wash.

I'd sooner caution against gatekeeping.

[-] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Agreed. I am very fond of star trek already and i am only 10 episodes into the original series. I believe it will take several months if not year before i get to know the characters in this picture.

quacktv

For those who don't know, that is a picture of odo and quark from Deep Space nine. Quarks name has been deliberately misspelled as Quack.

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

They deliberately misspelled Obi too.

[-] teft@startrek.website 13 points 10 months ago

Uhhhh that is obviously Laas and Rom.

Next trend? Sexy pictures of Neelix.

[-] Artyom@lemm.ee 12 points 10 months ago

I'm a real Trekkie. My favorite ships are the USS Prometheus and the MCRN Rocinante.

[-] roofuskit@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Good ships.

Wait, the Doctor had an alien companion at some point? I'm a trekky through and through but I didn't know that

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

It's one of the lost serials.

I watched maybe 3-10 Startrek episodes, I didn't see those or most of the people in the memes here.

Still I love this community

quack

Quarks name is misspelled. They should've given him a duck head to make it more obvious

That is because there are many series with each their own characters.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I'm just cracking up picturing Odo changing into an obo to spy on the visiting Cardassian orchestra

[-] 7of9@startrek.website 8 points 10 months ago
[-] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago

I'm re-watching DS9 for the third time or something, but I've never seen anything released after Voyager except for the Abrams movie travesties. Am I still a Trekkie?

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 19 points 10 months ago

Even those that only played Star Trek Online can consider themselves trekkies.

We don't gatekeep.

[-] teft@startrek.website 6 points 10 months ago

I want to know these people who play STo but haven't watched Star Trek. Mainly to study them.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

You should consider watching the Lower Decks episode "Hear All, Trust Nothing" if nothing else.

Noooo, you need to watch every episode pay for extra subscription services just to watch every new episode the day it is release.

Honestly anyone can get into star trek if they want to

[-] negativenull@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago
[-] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Only like 1/4th of the new stuff even has half-decent writing. Only the last season of Picard and the Strange New Worlds or what ever are even good TV, let alone "Star Trek"

I ... guess what I'm saying is, you're not missing much. Stange New Worlds is probably the closest to old trek. The other crap is drama before even plot, let alone drama over intelligence.

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago

My favorite character was always Officer Woof

[-] guyrocket@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

If this risa mag has taught me anything is that I'm not current on Trek.

I grew up on re-runs of TOS and I've seen most of the movies but not much at all of DS9 and NG and other TV shows. And I'm not really sure I want to watch all that. Very much enjoying 3rd Rock from the Sun right now, tyvm.
