everybody loves strange new worlds, you wanna know why, because it's freaking star trek, that's why. we're simple folk, we've got simple needs

holycrap ,

I really hope this influences future star trek shows.

Facebones ,

Agreed. I tried either the last mainline or the one before it and it just didn’t do anything for me.

SNW, IMO, is mutha fuckin Star Trek.

Taleya ,

SNW remembered that 1) trek is hope and 2) Trek is fucking insane

Facebones ,

Yeah I enjoyed Picard even as somebody who hates Two Tone Dramatic Drama™, but #1 had always been what drew me to Trek.

That we COULD be better, and we SHOULD be better.

It’s also why so many people latched onto The Orville.

People like to say that TOS was a product of its time, but thematically it reached for the absolute stratosphere. DIS just basically played our own paranoid dysfunction in a new setting. Hell, chunks of it felt like 24 in spaaaace

Facebones ,

The Orville geeks me out, because all the ads play it up as “FAMILY GUYYYYYYY IINNNNN SPPPAACCCEEEE” and I whole heartedly believe that’s how he pitched it to make it happen -

And then it was one big bait n switch, “HAHA actually I’m just a nerd and wanted to make a good scifi show suck it Fox!”

Taleya , (edited )

That’s actually how he did it. That’s why the first couple eps are kinda meh, then BOOM if the stars should appear, pria, krill, what the fuck just happened???

Facebones ,

One does not simply tell Seth MacFarlane no. 😂

Taleya ,

Ah but to hear the angry troglodytes easily brigaded Internet rankings prove no one likes trek because incoherent baboon noises

Facebones ,

“Star Trek says it’s bad to kill everybody more than 5% different than me

Fucking woke bullshit”

Taleya ,

Got goddamn women in command and some of them aren’t white!!!

TheDarkKnight ,

Fr, I’m not a trekkie but now I’m a trekkie lol.
