I agree but that has nothing to do with the “Nu” pejorative assigned to Kelvinverse films.

The reactionary racists and trolls started reapplying the term to the Black Lady show and pretended that crying a lot is somehow the same thing as Captain Kirk riding a motorcycle through a flaming ring.

no this is patrick

in my culture shitting on anything except the three kelvinverse films is a no no

they tried to take our word and they tried to take our culture away

Great points all around. “Hope and Kindness” may seem like obvious cliche lessons, but one could argue that in today’s political climate they are as important as TOS calling out societal racism.

“Datalore” is another one that’s important, but it’s not very good. Most of the episode is Wesley running around trying to convince the grown-ups that Data is being weird and being ignored. It’s the one where Picard tells him to “shut up”.

I haven’t loved the post-Burn setting but the way this show is already contextualizing it, and the optimism it’s doing it with is already starting to change my mind.

Same. A lot of that stuff just feels more comfortable with time and I appreciate how Star Trek always pushes it a little bit. People FREAKED OUT with the Klingon changes in TMP/TNG. Then FREAKED OUT that DS9 was on a space station with a “politically correct” captain. Now we think of those things as normal, nostalgic even.

I liked it too, but I find rebuilding to be aspirational. Like maybe the most aspirational thing possible.

Just seeing this post, I didn’t know this was a thing that could happen, but I wouldn’t mind seeing some Pre-S1 TOS. I don’t think Season 1 was ever canonically the first year of the five year mission.

You can throw darts at her photograph on your own wall.

Wait what? lol I like Burhnam. I was arguing with the guy who was making shit up to hate on her!

Was it the neighborhoods?

Do you have any evidence to support your claim? I looked it up and I didn’t see anything about “redemption” necessitating the fawning over of the redemptee by others, so until someone claims otherwise I’m going to believe Mr. Webster.

I’m so confused by this comment. Season three is literally (literally) about “a Federation that keeps adapting, improving, and ultimately continuing as a positive force moving forward through the dedicated collaboration of an infinitely-diverse collaboration of peoples” even in the face of overwhelming odds to the contrary.

Well said, Enterprise is my least favorite… until Season 4 which I consider to be some of my favorite Star Trek.

But same goes for Discovery! I appreciated what they were trying to do but it didn’t click with me. And then seasons 4 and 5 I consider to be some of Trek’s best.

Thank you for the sanity. I get so tired hearing Burhnam being held to such an obvious double standard. I wonder why? What is different about the character?

OMG you’re so right.

Honestly I’m so used to hearing the same tired old arguments I didn’t even process that.

You’re suggesting that redemption from disgrace is the same as “everyone else fawning over how great she is and what they’d do without her”?
