Fans reacting to the announcement of Star Trek: The Next Generation ( lemmy.world )

It’s so bizarre to read this in the present, knowing how incredible TNG was, but I get it - the original crew WAS Star Trek to them.

The dedicated fans revived this series in syndication, well after it had gone off the air in 1969, and felt attached to the characters that they had obsessed over between then and the 1980s. Like modern fans, they thought that departure from what they knew would ruin it.

I wish I could go back in time and tell them that TNG is going to rock.

Nobody knows how to hate on Star Trek like a Trekkie.

I recall this being posted ad nauseum on r/startrek, and the comments were always full of people using it to dismiss any and all criticism of Discovery and/or Picard. Nice to see that not being rehashed here.

The discussions on here are usually really positive.

I haven’t even seen Discovery or Picard yet. I just love TOS and TNG and thought this was surreal to read.

Hmmm. Came back here looking for the snippet but the image link seems to be broken … any chance of digging it out again?
