Im a bit older. Not ancient, just older.
Ya know when the parts start to not work. Like when ya gotta go potty all the time. Anyhow,

I use to watch a lot of Trek in the 70s. Syndication, right. I loved that trek. Actual I loved next generation, voyager, enterprise. The stories in these tales were always about how cooperation and science can solve the worlds problems. I was inspired. true beliber. It set me free.

Trek STD ( I havent heard much about the latest one, so Ill speak to STD) I didnt warm up to it. I felt like it turned into SWars. War, fighting. It was produced by B. Robot. Under the influence of KurtzM. They did the latest movies with Pine in the chair. Fun romps but fundamentally not trek. STD erupted into this military thing right away, science took back seat. Loved the diversity. Loved the gay engineer dude and his partner, but disliked the overall writing and star warsy treatment. What happend to sciencing the shit out of it (member that Martian story)? I miss the diversity, cooperation, optimistic, non dystopian, science driven, wholistic-emotions-balanced-by-logic future Roddenberry painted.

Any other Trekkies out there, phone home, ET wants to know.

@shetz

I hear ya. I did appreciate enterprise 2000-2005. But, it was not as good as next gen or voyager

I fully agree beyond that.

I find it amusing that knowing the "trekies" abbreviate the series into 3 letter designations:

TOS - The Original Series - late 60's
TAS - The Animated Series - early 70's
TNG - The Next Genration - late 80's into 90's
DS9 -Deep Space 9 - mid 90's
VOY - VOYager - late 90's
ENT - ENTerprise - early 2000's



and now we have Star Trek Discovery.... or STD

Seems the producers dont know their audience.

Picard?
Strange New Worlds?

OST was 1966, not late '60's
I remember watching it in real time and was one of the letter writers begging them for another season.

STD was tedious
It's like everything these days
Oh, a little CGI is good?
Then let's throw a shot ton of it in and forget writing a good story
Like something where James Tiberius Kirk gets to bone the hot alien
This thing is now beyond dead.
Sad

@balls

Picard, didnt like it. I heard the last season brought all the cast back together. Thats cool, but they lost me session 1.

Ive heard good things about Strange New Worlds, but I dont like the writing coming from those Bad robot folks. Havent watched. You watching it. Is it any good?

We need a resurgence of evidence based sci fi. Science the shit out of it all and bring us back together.

Not gunna get that with dune stories.

But, I love that spice.
And that big ass worm.
Reminds me of cock, big and spicy.

Balls -
I do believe the first episode aired on September 8, 1966
Ran for 3 seasons.
Last episode aired on June 3, 1969

That's the late sixties.

Technically, I counted start date only
But I'm happy to concede the point
My logic failed me due to a faulty mind meld with an Andorian photon torpedo
Beam me up, Scotty
