The Official Star Trek Thread

Do you like star trek or is it a silly sci fi fanasty?

'Or'?

I haven't posted in this thread before, but I did watch the show, and mostly liked it. I enjoyed most of the characters, although some (such as Narek) really started to piss me off eventually. I know a lot of lifelong Trekkies (I'm not one, although I like what I've seen of the other shows) really felt disoriented and even betrayed by the premise of Starfleet being infiltrated by a xenophobic hate group and the Federation taking an isolationist turn because of it, but I thought it was timely, and the show has plenty of characters in whom the Federation's ideals still live (from Picard himself on down).

I agree that the finale was kind of a mess, but it introduced some interesting ideas. Maybe the second season will do more with them.

Yeah, Starfleet apparently went full Trump/BoJo due to Russian Romulan infiltration.

I thought the Romulan infiltration aspect was kind of a cop-out tbh. Is it really that unbelievable that there's a bigoted, hateful political minority within the Federation with the means and motive for this sort of entryism?

B or low B+ as its own thing. I might revise it downwards once I see more of the previous Star Trek shows whose legacies it apparently did controversial things with.

To say V'ger ever had a legacy worth worrying about is silly.

In that case, I know a number of silly Star Trek fans.
