That is all.

No more Abrams/Kurtzman looks to be the consensus everywhere. But you also need a compelling new hook for what comes after. Another TOS rehash again? Post-Picard? Doing what there exactly? Personally i'd do the century between first contact and the romulan war. Timeskip where appropriate obviously.

>>213560427
I dunno about that since he's usually outplayed by the likes of Rom and Quark

maybe they just make a new thing and not do any more star trek
like it seems to have been well over a decade since anyone liked any of it

>>213560433
Post-VOY.

If you really think the Milky Way is fully explored, do an extra-galactic show. New technology allows the Federation to explore new galaxies. Boom, infinite new exploration kino real estate.
They could also do a post-DS9 fallout show about how the Dominion crumbles or something, maybe a changeling civil war, and start exploring all of that massive territory that was gated behind Dominion space.
There's a lot you can do. Saying "where do you even go from here" is for people without a creative mindset. You can go wherever you want, brotherman.

>>213560433
Another TOS rehash seems inevitable. TOS is an immortal piece of pop culture like Smurfs or Scooby Doo or TMNT. Studios will keep rebooting it for new generations until the end of time. Even when they lose sight of what made the show popular to begin with.

>>213560573

Final collapse of the borg collective, federation helps to resettle the delta quadrant well finally establishing presence and colonies

>>213560496
Id watch that but only if they didnt change what starfleet stands for

>>213560433
I think the series needs a classic show again.
It is in too much hot water to go experimental.

Another 90s - early 2000's Star Trek Series. Focusing on nailing the old tone again, unapologetically.

No dark gritty cinema sets like in SNW.

Just the Enterprise, Post-VOY, exploring. Probably a new Galaxy like this anon said; >>213560496

>>213560651
You don't even need to make it a new technology to reach other galaxies thing -- could say Starfleet finds some kind of wormhole or passage to another galaxy instead

Make a new Star Trek that can stand on it's own and doesn't fucking taint any of the existing stuff by being associated or based off of it and fucking ruining it with terrible ideas and terrible execution. Then I'll trust you to make a "post-DS9" or "post-VOY" or prequel show.

>>213560710
they should do it true detective style and just have one season where we're following a klingon crew, then next season it's completely new characters and maybe a romulan crew, then next season a starfleet crew again

>>213560789
Not enough time to give a shit about each crew, considering a season of television nowadays is 1/2 or 1/3 of what it used to be. Also take into account the fact that we're in a severe talent drought, so each season is going to be serialized around a main plot nobody will care about. To put a microscope on that 8-12 episode series, only 3-5 episodes will actually be plot-driven, and the rest will not even be episodic, simply time-wasting filler where nothing happens, before lurching right back into whatever universe ending scenario was established in the opening episode.

>>213561427
I’m still pissed at how Severance made us wait three years for a season that was 65% filler and dead end plot threads.

>>213561609
I don't watch streaming shows at all.

New Star Trek with an alien captain of the Enterprise. How about it?

>3 threads up
embarrassing

>>213561996
The white male captain x alien female first officer is too kino to pass up

>>213562282
I mean Enterprise had that and it pretty much sucked. No one on that show had any chemistry with each other.

>>213562266
Right we need to make a separate TOS, TAS, TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT thread!

>>213562404
no we have a star trek thread right here, you can go ahead and make some nu-trash shit thread if you'd like

>>213558768 (OP)
An allegory for AI and our future.

>>213562375
Incorrect

>>213562375
It did give us the only actually good Mirrorverse ep since Mirror, Mirror. And I wanted to fuck Jolene Blalock like you wouldn't believe, so there's that.

>>213561743
LOST marketed itself as sci-fi for the cool kids. Unlike that dorky Star Trek, you can discuss us at the water cooler. Well, 20 years later LOST is pretty much forgotten, while people still discuss TNG and DS9.

>>213562781
Enterprise made me discover I don't like mirror episodes with no primes involved. It kinda then just blatantly feels like watching a waste of time fanfiction and I really don't care.

>>213562552
The t in /tv/ stands for trek

>>213563048
I know it's fun for the actors to change things up, but I consistently skip the DS9 ones, Nana Visitor in leather with a whip or no Nana Visitor in leather with a whip. Whereas the Enterprise one, it's like, OK, we'll go with this, and because they weren't using primes there was actual stakes and indeed, ultimately, actual doom. Very memorable episode, probably in my top 10 across all Trek, well maybe more like top 20 but in any case, very good.

>>213563154
Ok

>>213563048
Crazy opinion dog. The mirror universe enterprise episode is kino and one of the best of the series. I actually enjoy the fact there’s no primes in it. No shoehorning just is. The DS9 mirror universe episodes suck.

Are we doomed to repeat history?

>>213563462
I won’t stand for Enterprise slander. There’s some kino episodes of Enterprise. Carbon Creek, Twilight, a night in sickbay, in a mirror darkly. The show is not better than TOS, TNG or DS9, but it’s about on par with VOY and I would make the argument that it’s better.

>>213563606
Word, like it's absolutely standard for them to take two entire seasons to get good, TNG and DS9 both did it, the only real reason Enterprise isn't rated with them is that there's only 4 seasons so there's less of it being good. Plus the theme music is dogshit, but I may as well say the sky is blue.

>>213563669
People are for sure going to disagree with us, but yeah everything you said completely. I fully believe seasons 5-7 of Enterprise with the Romulan War and the founding of the Federation would’ve been gold.

>>213561996

>>213558874
>can actually see when a woman becomes aroused

>>213563606
You named four episodes and two of them suck ass.

VOY has more good episodes than that in a single season
>Scorpion
>Year of Hell
>Mortal Coil
>Living Witness
>Nemesis
>The Omega Directive
>Message in a Bottle
>Hope and Fear

>>213563440
It’s frying me what awful photos of the cast they chose. It’s like the newspaper was owned by a rival studio and tried to make a negative advertisement for TNG.

>>213563917
nta but half of those suck ass too

>>213563917
>voyager

>>213564081
Which one and why? I can tell you why they're good
>Scorpion
Seven of Nine introduction episode. Pure Insaneway kino.
>Year of Hell
Legendary Kurtwood Smith guest star two parter that should've gone for a whole season.
>Mortal Coil
Neelix fucking dies. What's not to love?
>Living Witness
One of the best VOY episodes, as good as any episode of Star Trek from any Star Trek series.
>Nemesis
Classic Trek-core episode with a surprising twist at the end. Underrated mainly because Chakotay is the lead.
>The Omega Directive
Could be a TOS episode, great shit.
>Message in a Bottle
Andy Dick/Robert Picardo comedy kino, one of the most charming episodes of Trek in any series. Right up there with all the light-hearted greats like Trouble with Tribbles
>Hope and Fear
Great guest star appearance, great story. Makes you want to root for the bad guy.

I also skipped over a lot of episodes I myself would consider good like the Hirogen ones.

>>213563917
I could list more enterprise episodes I enjoy and you could list more voyager episodes you enjoy, but that’ll get us nowhere, also what this anon said >>213564081
my point is that Voyager and Enterprise both suffer in terms of writing and consistency. They are generally ranked to be on the same level because a lot of it does suck, but they’re still both Trek. If you’re gonna shit on Enterprise, I’m gonna have to shit on Voyager. That’s just how it is.

>>213563827
Also applies to Data. Which is kind of a continuity mess since there were multiple times a guest character was attracted to him. If my autistic ass caught it, why didn’t he?

>>213559896
His first film still ruined the Romulans and Spock for the prime universe. The amount of self-containment wasn't down to him though, he didn't give a shit about the canon and mostly just directed the script Kurtzman and his old writing partner crapped out

>>213564528
I actually liked ST09, it's a real shame about the sequels though. Still have never rewatched the third one. Barely remember what happened and I'm fine with that.

>>213564492
Kek he also lost a game of chess to Troi. I think it was the memory loss episode to give him an excuse to tend bar.
Maybe Data’s lobotomizing himself to be on a level field with humans.

>>213564492
geordi says he doesn't peek through the cards because that ruins the game, I imagine that he also doesn't look at people's organs to tell if they're bluffing by the same metric
data is always trying to be more human, so he tries to minimize being a card counting robot (see: the 'a watched pot never boils' scene). theory and probability only gets you so far as well
you are NOT a fan >:(

>>213564605
>Kek he also lost a game of chess to Troi.
To be fair that was a call-back to Spock losing to Kirk, but yeah, kinda funny how even now humans can't possibly win against stockfish and that.
>>213564658
>theory and probability only gets you so far as well
Not when you get into that Sklansky/Malmuth optimal bluffing frequency shit, at that point it's about your capacity to apply theory, and Data should have limitless capacity to apply theory. It's not about him losing individual hands, it's about over the long run he should, really, just destroy everybody.

>>213564743
data does not understand bluffing very well

>>213564807
But he SHOULD, is my point. I know it's better TV, I know it's what they were doing with the character etc. But it's maddening to see him endlessly bleed off to a lagtard like Riker.

ayo where my kliggas at

i really want to stay up late but waging comes first

>>213564925
I’m also not staying up late so I’ll give my thoughts on Captive Pursuit since I just watched it: Mid, mid, mid. I like how they tried to give Miles something to do but the plot was so fucking generic. And they didn’t even give him a cheeky line like “You remind me of an android I used to work with, Tosk. But his skin was a lot smoother and more pale.”

>>213564890
He should just crush their fucking heads and take the ship over and dominate the galaxy. It's all goy slop

>>213565020
I really liked that when it first aired. It was pretty run-of-the-mill on rewatch, though. 14-yo me was easily impressed.

>>213565065
ngl I still sometimes rewatch the cold open of Brothers, it's so crazy how he just mogs the entire ship without breaking sweat. And I know post Measure of a Man the Feds are all based and artificiallifehasrightspilled, but surely they would've popped the hood on Data after that.
>so data do you PINKIE SWEAR there's no other little subroutines like that just sitting in your code
>i actually cannot know that, sir, i did not know about that one
>hmmm

>>213560490
>maybe they just make a new thing
we've lost the technology to do that apparently. can't get back to the moon, can't write new shows. just lost

>>213565201
Imagine him just snapping and killing everyone and it's just him but the show keeps going as he descends further into insanity

>>213565020
>they didn’t even give him a cheeky line like “You remind me of an android I used to work with, Tosk. But his skin was a lot smoother and more pale.”
thank fucking christ they didn't. what a retarded whedonslop idea

>>213564557
Yeah, I liked ST09 a lot at the time too, I overlooked terrible plot elements because there were good performances and I bought into the bullshit of it "re-energizing" the franchise and setting up to tell more Trek-like stories "boldly going forward". That fucker JJ managed to trick me again the same way with TFA since he was clearly more passionate about Wars.
Star Trek Beyond was basically a mediocre Trek episode Tuvixed with the weak revenge trash of the JJ movies

>>213558874
>The only nigger on board and he has a handycap

>>213565477
reported

>>213565448
I liked how he made the whitest man alive khan and then acted like the reveal made sense to Spock and Kirk and they barely knew he was. They would be like "okay and im Kirk"

i just recently finished watching Enterprise for the first time and while it's not the worst thing i've ever seen or anything and i did enjoy it, i felt relieved when it was over. there were just so many things to not like and be critical of and it's just like some kind of vicious circle where i feel like im watching it more cynically and less able to actually engage with it as it goes on because of the things that happen in it and the decisions they made. i was like "now that it's over at least it can't fuck anything else up." my main issue I think comes down to Archer himself being a terrible captain. when I watch Star Trek I don't think I should constantly be daydreaming about how I would be doing things differently if I were the captain because I find the one on the show constantly incompetent and unrealistic. it's something I did not enjoy. the captain of a Trek show should be like the guiding star that sets the tone and the tone Archer sets is just, amateur who gets lucky because he can't die because he's the main character like a fucking cartoon show or something. he should have been killed by aliens so many times over and you just get tired of it. his captaining aside, he's not even interesting to me as a person either. it's all around just weak desu

>>213558768 (OP)
Earl Grey, hot.

>>213564743
>Sklansky/Malmuth optimal bluffing frequency

>>213565201
Brothers is one of those episodes where everyone involved was firing on all cylinders. Fantastic stage direction and editing. Brent Spiner rightfully gets all the praise, but everyone behind the scenes was doing their best as well.
And yeah, the Federation by that point just had to accept Data was going to pull that kind of shit from time to time.

My Frakes story:
Frakes is epic irl and at a hotel bar after hours of a con many years ago my wife and I ran into him he liked my wife and was hamming it up saying lines dramatically like Riker would w a lady "Ur eyes are like the stars" etc....and gladly took pics w us and was so nice and jokingly asked for our room number (he was being funny not creepy) and then we were walking around the next day and passed by his booth or whatever and in front of everyone in his autograph line he yells "hey there you guys are! what happened? i was knocking on your door w the captains high hard one in my hand and you guys wouldn't let me in!!" In front of like 100 people in his line. It was so fucking inappropriate and so fucking hilarious. Pretty sure he was drunk the entire weekend just loving life and not giving af. He's the best

>>213567928
I used to think being a Trekkie was social suicide. Then I met plenty of normies who loved Star Trek. Getting caught in public with these books, that's the real social suicide.
>>213568065
There are plenty of trans allegories in Star Trek but trannies always latch onto real women.

>>213566736
My dad swears he met Frakes at an airport in Bangor ME, but he is notoriously faceblind so I doubted him for years. But then I learned that Frakes actually lives in Bangor so he was probably telling the truth.

Do you think Frakes ever feels like Ian McKellen on The Hobbit set when he sees a script that's 80% CGI?

>>213568899
You are committing the gravest sin now. Does it even give the illusion of a precipice now or has the feeling of falling itself already subsided? Or do you not know what you’re doing?

>>213568952
The premise of DS9 was specially designed to allow space exploration in a static setting, whether they're going through the wormhole to explore stuff or new life comes through the wormhole to explore them.

>>213569036
That’s what I’m saying. He’s the one Admiral that actually backs his Captain up. TNG got to comfy with making them villains of the week even though it was usually kino when they did picrel

Does anyone else randomly enter a state of sadness and seething that we've gotten so much Star Trek in the past 15 years and literally all of it has been complete garbage? It genuinely makes me go into a state of child-like rage sometimes.

I can't let go man. I wish I could watch Kurtzman and JJ get their fingernails pulled out. I felt a bolt of pure joy when I read that Orci died. Cosmic justice for the assraping he gave Star Trek. Fuck him.

>>213571297
it's a 60 year old franchise. Enshitification was bound to happen sooner or later. Considering how many times Paramount has been sold off and bought by different megacorps in that time it's kind of surprising it took this long.

>>213564557
Star trek 09 is an alright popcorn movie. It's sequels are terrible. No idea why people liked beyond

Ds9 time!

>Quark is a sex pest
Thank god they didn't really carry this on throughout the show

did Spiners wife going crazy get memory holes?

So why were these Tosk hunter people not also owned by the Dominion and allowed to just do whatever they want?

>>213571469
It's not on wikipedia, he doesnt even have a personal life section. What happened?

>>213571526
I don't know, maybe they're from close to the wormhole? Or have some sort of stealth tech?

>>213571536
I remember watching a YouTube video of her going crazy schizo, iirc it had something to do with Christianity but I can't quite remember. It was within the last 6 or so years, that doesn't narrow down much though

O'Brien really is the best choice to be making first contact with aliens.

>>213571526
The dominion didn’t exist as a concept yet

desu I completely forgot about this autistic lizard

I've taken the contrarian in me behind the shed and accepted that the inner light is the perfect episode

I'm more curious about that Dabo girl in incredibly intricate and detailed alien makeup that was on screen for like a total of 15 seconds and never seen again

>>213571272
He’s wrong. Profit and Lace is a pleb filter.

>>213571774
He's not wrong. It's a fun episode and anything but the premise has Quark being out of character really cruel and disgusting to his employee and in the end, like Armin says, he doesn't learn anything.

>>213571536
https://youtube.com/@gabriellechana1/videos
I think I was incorrect in that this woman seems convinced she is married to Spiner and has multiple videos with his obscure wife's name in the title. I don't have the patience to sift through even one of her 50 minute videos to find out what her deal is, but maybe ittl provide a laugh for someone here

>>213571941
Oh this crazy bitch. She's been on this delusion for like 20 years

This episode would really not even be a thing if he would just explain what Tosk means. There's no reason he can't, he just doesn't...

>>213572000
I guess it's part of being tosk bro, he can't talk about it

it's like fight club

Predator ass niggas

Klingons are profoundly uninteresting and almost every Klingon episode sucks. Warrior races in general are so boring.

>>213572102
Kor was charismatic as all fuck and it was just downhill from there honestly

>>213572102
Nu-trek Klingons are fucking embarrassing. Classic trek Klingons are goated.

>>213558768 (OP)
.. LOWER DECKS GOT CANNED FOR THIS?
I WILL NOT HEAR ANY LOWER DECK SLANDER/LIBEL AGAIN!

It's crazy how quickly Quark nailed down the character. It's what, episode 4 and he's already more or less at 100%.

>>213571429
>Star trek 09 is an alright popcorn movie
It set a horrible precedent for making Trek into capeshit and ignoring canon, but the point was to attract a wider audience not previously interested in trek, and it succeeded at that.

Kira"s uniform is so fucking puffy

TRIPLE KILL

>>213572359
honestly I feel like everyone's 100%

>>213572330
HOW THE FUCK? JEM'HADAR ARE ASEXUAL CLONE PEOPLE! THEY CAN'T FUCK!

Felt like DS9 missed a chance to have some more drama between the Gamma boomer Jem'Hadar and the Alpha zoomers

>>213572541
This one injected 49 gallons of ketracel white at once. The estrogen levels are usually in trace amounts but when you take that much at once, well...

>>213572330
Putting the J's back in Jem'Hadar

>>213571204
Snoop, his boof long

>>213572590
meh, seeing Jem'Hadar quarrel amongst themselves probably would not have been that interesting. i liked the addition of the Breen into the fight

Jadzia is a dumb scifi name and sounds retarded

>>213572717
what's retarded is when some people say it JAHD-zia and some people say it JOD-zia

can you even pretend to give a fuck? i hate it when people in a show can't pronounce the things in the fucking show.

>>213571297
This, but the sadness mostly. The actors have slowly been dying off in recent years, and so many opportunities to have the cast reunite on-screen have been wasted. There is no reverence for what came before. There is no Bones touring the ship before its maiden voyage, no Scotty pulling a final miracle, no passing of the torch. It's kind of the hallmark of the new millennium, specifically the tail-end of the aughts and onward: Wasted Opportunity.

>>213571463
just say pervert you godawful zoomer

>>213572330
it's not slander or libel if it's true

>>213572812
pervert is not the same thing, kiddo

>>213572764
Where does /trek/ weigh in on "Bay-jor" vs "Bay-jhorr"?

>watching VOYAGER for the first time
>get to S2E14 "Alliances"
>the (((Trabe))) were wealthy and manipulated information about the conditions of the Kazon so other civilizations were afraid of standing against them
>the (((trabe))) sabotage peace negotiations with a terrorist attack
>entire episode is clearly a nod to the then current Oslo Accords and jewish terrorism
Damn, somebody involved in 90's Trek really didn't like the jews, huh?

>>213572887
Either sounds fine to my ear to be honest.

>>213572883
it is colloquially used exactly the same. the term "sex pest" didn't exist until recent history, people just said perv or pervert. you are retarded and have no social skills so i guess i can't expect you to understand your primary language

>>213572987
>it is colloquially used exactly the same
no, it isn't.

>>213572178
What's your opinion of DS9 Kor

>>213572590
Yeah they were definitely setting something up with that, and then they just dropped it.

>>213573136
Honestly I'd have to watch it again, that episode isn't as fresh in my mind as Errand of Mercy is

Kes is so much prettier with long hair, then they kick her off immediately after.

The gimmick of the musical aside, the fundamental premise of Subspace Rhapsody is idiotic: well the laws of physics are different, so maybe we send music because [hand waving] harmonics, and they send Anything Goes? That's the "transporter split me into good and evil halves", Tuvix tier bullshit episode tier

>>213558768 (OP)
Crazy that the homestuck guy made these edits

I'm a few episodes into season three of Voyager and Neelix is pretty annoying so far. Does he ever get better as a character? Or better yet, does he get written off the show when Kes does too?

>>213574306
Nah he pretty much sucks the whole time. Shame about Tuvix though.

Everyone here agrees that Voyager is worse than Enterprise, right? RIGHT?

>>213574412
wrong

The emotion Vulcans feel the most and the harshest is disgust at their other emotions. Imagine having to give yourself the Surak mental pep talk about how your feeling is wrong and illogical, all the time. You can't help but feel disgust about that, but still have to tamp that down too. Being a Vulcan is pain. They're always just on the verge of exploding in boiling fury, kind of like a ...Volcano.

>>213559864
That was DS9, they just had better characters. DS9 opened the box and the producers came.

>>213574412
And my axe.

>>213574412
No

>>213574496
My goodness, who's ass is this?

>>213574412
TOS > TNG = DS9 > VOY >>> ENT

>>213574326
Bummer. He's probably the only character on the show I dislike. He should have been written off instead of Kes

>>213563606
DS9 fucking sucked, it needed two seasons to get "watchable" and even then there's barely any good episodes. DS9 had good characters but the worst writting of any Star Trek ever. VOY had good writting but bland characters.

>>213574496
>DS9 opened the box and the producers came.
come...to daddy...

>>213574446
>Being a Vulcan is pain.
Yep. I remember when Spock told Krik he felt ashamed inside because of their friendship

>>213574412
Yes, VOY is inferior. I hate voyager, enterprise actually kept a consistent theme. I know you motherfuckers are going to disagree with me. 1-2 is TNG lite, finding its footing yadayadayad. 3-4 are more serialized even more than 1-2, but it was starting to get there. The show at its core was about the founding of the federation. It never got there. Some will say it didn’t get there quick enough, which I agree, but it was all leading towards something. It’s rip off TOS/TNG/DS9 demeanor is a lot more acceptable to me than VOY’s inconsistent never committing attitude. I love enterprise, it’s not better than TOS, TNG, or DS9, but it’s good. It’s on par with VOY, but VOY fags suck it

>>213574847
>The show at its core was about the founding of the federation. It
Just because you say this doesn't make it true. It probably SHOULD have been about that, but it ultimately wasn't.

>>213565708
>chief engineer la forge is nearing completion of my giant choo-choo train

>>213574847
>enterprise actually kept a consistent theme.
First 2 years were the Temporal Cold War
3rd year was the Xindi arc with MACOs
4th year was 3-part episodes with a few one shots
How is that a consistent theme?

>>213573035
you're retarded, got it

>>213574765
>>213574496
Oh and Terry Farrell also starred in a Hellraiser lol

>>213574306
He gets better as soon as Kes is gone, because there's no longer the cringey love triangle between them and Paris. Idk what they were smoking with that.

>>213575003
1-4 is the temporal Cold War. Xindi War is humanities first interplanetary conflict leading up to the real threat, the romulans. A prior conflict was needed to establish how humanity would react. Seasons 5-7.

>>213574847
S1 and S2 of ENT are still highly serialized. The episodes are like episodic TNG episodes but they always refer back to them and that TEmporal Cold War bullshit and the Suleban are woven throughout both seasons.

ENT S1-S2 is more serialized than any part of DS9. And ENT S3-S4 is even more serialized.

Also there's the fact that it only ran 4 years and it suffered an identity crisis halfway through. It feels incomplete, it feels unfinished, like it never hit its stride whereas VOY just took a long time to heat up. But it DID hit its stride eventually.
ENT just isn't that good, bro, I'm sorry.

my God can you imagine Archer instead of Kirk in Balance of Terror? what a fucking joke. thank God the show ended when it did and I never had to suspend my disbelief and see that bumbling fucktard deal with Romulans

>>213575092
>it feels incomplete, it feels unfinished
Exactly. I just like the vision behind Enterprise more where I see VOY crawling to its finish.

>>213568952
>Do you think that the show would have been better had they switched entirely to the Defiant for multiple seasons?
No because DS9 had terrible writing, the setting was wrong for Star Trek but the writing was awful regardless.

>>213575145
it would have been kino. they'd have duck-taped a mirror to the front of the ship and reflected the fireball back

Give it to me straight: Is TOS/TAS worth watching?

>>213568782
Based book but why did you post it here?

>>213575305
Lol why are you grouping them together.

TOS is worth watching.
TAS I would watch for completionist sake. It is interesting to see what monsters and weird aliens they make using cartoons. There are also some interesting stories.

>>213575305
There are only 22 30-minute episodes of TAS. It flies by in a single day if you're marathoning it.

>>213575092
ENT was constantly on the ropes. Each season was simultaneously trying to progress conceptually while having to compromise with the network. That being said, I think season 4 is the best overall and was the closest they got to settling on a comfortable individual identity while being a true prequel.

>>213575432
human arr rook same

>>213575350
It's my understanding that TAS is a direct continuation of TOS, but I know even less about TAS than I do TOS. I only watched TNG/DS9 for the first time a few years ago but enjoyed them enough to want to watch the other pre-2010 series

>>213574412
imagine having such retarded opinions

>>213575426
>I think season 4 is the best overall and was the closest they got to settling on a comfortable individual identity
my guy, with peace and love, you sound actually insane

>>213574544
In the show is Seven's but I'm not 100% its actually Jeri Ryan or a stunt.

>>213575432
Is that Tim?

>>213572918
Living Witness is pretty obviously about the holocaust never having happened

>>213574847
>enterprise actually kept a consistent theme
nigga I liked Enterprise but that show consistent was not, it was a fucking aimless mess from the get go, it almost ruins the Vulcans.
It had a fucking "temporal cold war" for a main plotline

>>213575314
He's the schizo who thinks he has psychic powers and that he's being gangstalked. His evidence is that he assaulted a lifelong smoker with a stoma in a bar while inebriated.

>>213575542
No
>>213575614
Ruins? It makes them actually interesting

>>213575753
just say you hate Vulcans and go. you're not making any sense.

>>213575611
Nice, I'm looking forward to it. Started rewatching DS9 and realized the entire show is about the gentile's fight against judaism. With the Ferengi, Cardassians, and Changelings all representing different aspects of jewry. Never realized Star Trek was so based

>>213575694
Classic gangstalking

>>213575818
I like vulcans though. Soval was great, the forge could've been a TOS episode, it gave more depth to a race that was already 'solved'

>>213576348
What if she wasn't looking at you? The real dream is to smile at a pretty girl and she smiles back

Yes. Its about over 5 years old now but finding it is a pain in the ass. Was made a shitpost.

One thing about Pike that stood out to me from The Cage was that, while Federation humans largely act more evolved than us pre-Bell Riot era humans, Pike was fairly quick about tapping into his hatred for his big brain captors and described how he was picturing killing one of them once he learned his strong emotions could be weaponized against them.
