I’m curious to creck some of the new stuff out but it all looks so not Star Trek

By New Trek I mean Discovery, Picard, Strange New World and Lower Decks

Wow that’s a lot of series.

I like the optimism of Star Trek and apparently a lot of New Trek kind of abandons that? sadness

    The “Burn” is honest to god the worst piece of lore in Trek history, probably in major science fiction history

    Just a complete inability to appreciate the scale, continuity, and coherence of a setting, it’s like it was made by someone who doesn’t like Star Trek and is annoyed other people like it, so decided to burn and salt the setting for the sack of a half-baked climate change analogy

    At least they had the decency to chuck it a 1000 years ahead of the main setting’s timeframe

      Yeah that’s about how I felt. It’s like someone hated Star Trek’s rosy optimism and wanted to destroy it. “What if your spaceship show about a brighter future was actually bad and everyone died in a big explosion.” Completely missing the point of the show and the setting.
