That’s disappointing, the theater I went too was almost too loud at times but the boomings and rumblings of the Genesis Planet tearing itself apart were really crazy.

Fake fans, imo. Transporters exist.

The events of Star Trek haven’t taken place yet, but The Historical Documents aired long before that. Presumably some kind of time vortex brought them to us.

Yes! We have that too. It’s so addicting to get sucked into every time I come across it.

To be fair, the list was made for the 57th anniversary of Trek three years ago.

Data’s Day is the episode I usually recommend people use to introduce TNG to newbies since Data literally goes around and introduces the crew. I’m shocked it wasn’t on Variety’s list!

Great example! I had forgotten that one. I guess that’s a sign it’s time for a Voyager rewatch.

Wow this looks incredible

💯

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.
