/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

bad trek should have all of nutrek on it, good trek is the old trek. LD and prodigy fits in between old and bad trek. orville is "trek-like" kurtzmans trek and jj abram isnt really trek, is just "fan service without the " spirit of old trek and trying to target new audience, that are lowest common denominators. (all flash and no substance)
Where Galaxy Quest?
It’s so far up on the Good Trek scale that it has left the meme
Also needs Babylon 5 way outside the triangle. And Lexx in a corner smoking a crack pipe.
And Lexx in a corner smoking a crack pipe.
Brilliant. And farscape?
Shrooms.
crack
Shrooms
Lexx is more like a bad salvia trip and being roofied.

I'm not sure Lexx is crack. Maybe ecstasy or something like that. One of the uncomfortably touchy-feely party drugs where you worry that the person on it is going to start tonguing your elbow, and you really just need some personal space.

I hate new Trek. A bald French captain with an English accent? A blind man flying the ship? The first officer is completely unprofessional, trying to bang every woman he sees (Even holograms! The ship has a virtual brothel, now!). It wont survive a year, I guarantee it.
LMFAO

Sorry but except for LD, everything NuTrek doesn't fit at the top of that triangle for me, and belongs in either one of the bottom corner.
Or maybe I just don't like Star Trek anymore. Just like Seymour; am I wrong for not liking NuTrek? No, it's the children who are wrong!
nutrek is just terrible under kurtzman, other than LD and prodigy.
I really like SNW, as well as your list.
Discovery and Picard were collosal "mehs".
I'm scared to try Starfleet Academy.
Academy has been good so far, way lower stakes, but you have to get past the first ten minutes of episode one. It sets up the main plot, but it's way more... Discovery style baseless action, than the rest of the show. IMO they should have filled it in as backstory later in the ep, after they'd established more of a tone, but otherwise it gets good quick.
Nah, it's not you. Trek has changed for the worse. Sure, it's pretty and shot well, and the actors are trying. Though the writing is modern action drama for the most part. It's not written to be timeless. It's not written to be intelligent first. It's written to be "entertaining" first.
Everyone says later seasons of Picard are good, but... I just cannot. I cannot accept the universe they built. 1.5 entire seasons of shit drag it down for me. I'd take another SNW singing episode over Picard.
Academy is still continuing in the entertainment first route, but it at least seems like they're attempting to inject a little intelligence into it. Still a bit dubious on saying it's "good" trek, but at least it's not corrupt trash. Or maybe the rest of the junk has just eaten away at my sensibilities.
Picard was pretty bad from start to finish, they dropped the borg alliance the moment season 2 ended. and it was obvious baity to include the "enterprise" crew in the last few episodes.
SNW or Picard... is like choosing which form of torture. How about just "no".
I have yet to watch SNW past the point where the illogical irrational emotional vulcans first appear.
Picard, I endured the lot. Kept trying really really hard to like it, because it has Jean Luc Picard in it. Kept trying really really hard to suspend disbelief and ignore all the dumb. Kept trying to tell myself it had redeemed itself a little bit for season 3. But no. You're right. Cannot build a sound house on such swampy sloppy ground.
It's not trek. None of the Kurtzman dross is trek. Roddenberry spinning so fast in his grave, hook up a dynamo, and we could power a warp drive.
I do wish someone would confront the makers of the Kurtzman crap with the idea "what if all art is a tool of manifestation", and let them face the horror of what they've done.
picard/patrick stewart seemed very Low energy in his acting for the whole show, like hes just not into it at all, likely hates doing trek roles by now, since had done it for along time before. wasnt kurtzman the showrunner of transformers, and he admited he dint watch any trek series, and just ignored continuity?

Orville sits with galaxy quest. End of.
Galaxy Quest could be a great TV series.
You can't have a sequel to Galaxy Quest without Alan Rickman, may he rest in peace. He cannot be replaced.
