You're fooling yourself if you don't want to see the sharp decrease in quality post DS9. The best Trek series of the last 25 years is Orville ffs
LOL I had a whole reply typed out before I realized this was sarcasm. A+ example of a red flag.
You're so threatened by people who like different TV shows than you that you have to pretend their opinions aren't serious?
Discovery bringing Georgiou back in season 2 as a Section 31 agent felt to me like the show was doing this, and is what put me off that show specifically. I really like the majority of modern Trek shows, and even like 2 out of 3 of the Kelvin timeline movies.
Georgiou eventually turned on her S31 superiors, joined the Discovery crew, and tried to make the Mirror Universe better when the Guardian (sort of) gave her the opportunity.
So what about any of that screams "the Terran Empire did nothing wrong" to you? Or would you rather keep deflecting?
Cool cool, you're just inserting irrelevant comments into a discussion I was having with someone else.
Truly dazzling.
Hey look, the guy who broke the land speed record on the way to Godwin has thoughts on cliches!
Do you have anything else to add but more seething rage?
I really doubt they were taking their other conversation that seriously and I don't think you need to either
Space Hitler felt kind of bad about some things and made some space friends and promises to make the next Space Reich a little nicer. No need for Space Nuremburg, for real. [Memeface]

Play enlightened mediator all you want but you responded to my post in particular, 16 hours later.
This does not read as mirthful, it just seems like a mean-spirited, dismissive misrepresentation of their position . Sorry for bringing up what you said yesterday
Their reply was after your facetious comment with the meme face. Have you considered they were trying to meet your energy?
That's OK. You should really consider if your comments are being misunderstood as dismissive instead of "mirthful" and how you can clarify that. Can always be better at communicating
Ok, I do! I never meant to be neutral, I just thought you were getting worked up over a misunderstanding. Good luck with being mirthful and dazzling and all
I'll fume and snivel and won't insinuate your irritation the whole way to making sure trump loses 🫡
Well that doesn't make sense, I only like the mirror universe and section 31 as fun style breaks in ds9. Go niners!
I think they brought her back in an attempt to backpedal the absolute fucking disaster that was season 1. I honestly enjoy Discovery as sci-fi, but when I rewatch Season 1 I can't shake the feeling they took another IPs pilot and stretched Star Trek over it like a horrible skinsuit.
It had exactly the opposite effect for me. I greatly disliked season 1 of Discovery but thought they wrapped it up well enough at the end of the season that they could move on. Georgiou showing back up in season 2 read to me as them having learned absolutely nothing and doubling down on the disaster rather than backpedaling from it.
I like Strange New Worlds. Very much hoping they complicate the Gorn cliffhanger they left the last season off with though.
Your wife has watched 3/4 of the good modern Trek series and should watch Prodigy. (and the TNG era Treks)
It's very good and only gets better as it goes on. Season 2 was fantastic.
Yo, if you don't mind a bit of the Clone Wars getting in your Trek, Prodigy is a fantastic watch, Admiral Janeway is in the running for my favorite Star Fleet officer.
Well, section 31 did save the whole alpha quadrant from the Dominion....
Nah genocide isn't my jam... But yes, I believe the Dominion war wouldn't have ended without the virus. The Dominion would have just kept sending ships and Jem'Hadar from the Gamma quadrant.
Edit: btw I dislike the way DIS "unshrouded" section 31. It was much cooler in DS9 where we were left to wonder whether it actually existed or not, or it was just Sloane being godlike in his manipulation skills.
Nu Trek is, to me, just the kelvin shit. The new shows on CBS are legit, especially lower decks.
What's the face for anyone who remembers that by TOS canon, the greek god Apollo is real and just got bored of Earth and fucked off to another planet?
I don’t mind the Kelvin films. Karl Urban as Bones makes it all worth while.
They’re just popcorn flicks. Watch or don’t watch and it’s not like the Star Trek Universe is altered in any way. (Also, those movies are better than everything after Wrath of Khan, movie-wise)

I used to think Chris Pine Kirk was better than Shatner. I now kind of feel like Pine’s the best Captain, but SNW Kirk’s the best gentlemanly lady killer kirk.
maybe I've consumed more and more scifi over the years to compare to or maybe the later releases of trek have lowered the average in my mind but I can't help but see trek in general as solidly mid now
Based on a real situation I encountered once: Normal Star Trek Fan: Yeh, I like Seven of Nine.
“Red flag” Star Trek Fan: I like Seven of Nine.
