SERIOUSLY. I couldn't manage to get more than 2 episodes into Discovery because it was all action no philosophical questions. Like, if you can't give us a courtroom challenge, at LEAST give us some Prime Directive nuance.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

MODERATORS
Don't forget the spinning 45° cameras that flip upside down twice in every scene.
Don't forget the shitty lighting
Don't forget the ridiculous story lines that completely ignored decades of startrek history
Don't forget all the cursing
Don't forget all the murdering without remorse or consequences
Don't forget about the characters that completely changed. Beverly crusher now is a sharp killer. Seven of nine is now a lesbian double phaser wielding mass murderer, Picard is a mumbling sad little man who gets put in his place and ridiculed by everyone. Klingons?aaaahaaaaarrgghh... But yeah, "Klingons now represent Trump voters".
All new start trek has been made by people who by their own admission don't know star Trek, nor like star Trek, they just wanted the large fan base for money and use it as a their personal political platform
To (very sadly) quote new star strek: Sheer fucking hubris
Wow, just noticed how true this is. Maybe that's why I love Better Call Saul so much. Haha
Both can be good, but used carefully. The 2nd and 3rd season of the Orville had some of the best space action I've ever seen and gave me the same feelings as the dominion war in ds9. Discovery never had any space action that got me remotely excited.
But drumhead, measure of a man etc are crazy good too.
The first episode of season 3 of Orville I had to skip through the opening battle scene because there was no context and thus no emptional weight.
Orville is a mixed bag, but nonetheless a great show, and I'd argue, probably the best star trek show on the air haha
I fully welcome Orville into the Star Trek fandom. It's clear that Seth wanted to make an awesome star Trek show and sold it as a comedy to get airing in my mind. I think he did a fantastic job, for sure the best new trek I've seen, although I haven't tried brave new worlds yet.
Why not both?
courtroom drama mid-baytle would be peak trek
TNG does not appear on my top five Trek episodes list. Neither do any courtroom episodes.
I await your replies.
What then are your top 5? And why is it Spock's Brain 4 times followed by Move Along Home?
VOY: Living Witness
VOY: In the Blink Of An Eye
DS9: It’s Only A Paper Moon
TOS: Devil In The Dark
TOS: Balance Of Terror
Although I do actually really enjoy Spock’s Brain. Far from the worst TOS episode.
That's why I enjoy Babylon 5, you want space battles? Got em, want a diverse group of alien species trying their best to live and work together, got that too, you want lots of coutroom stories, yup go that too.
I know I should give that show another shot but the acting is just so bad in the first few episodes
Have you seen Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 1?
Did Ukraine really shoot down a Russian plane full of POWs? Or was it conveniently empty?
Putin should watch Star Trek.
