One, you mean e.g., not i.e.

Two, that's super not what nu-metal was about. It was extremely targeted to an audience of edgelord teenagers.

This response is a beige flag for me

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'd give strange new worlds a pass as being better than Orville, but yeah, it's definitely the exception to the rule.

Fair, Strange New Worlds is great

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

I hadn't watched any Trek in a while and in Picard there was a scene where their ship was hit and started listing like a boat and I was like "that's not how space works!", then remembered that's the thing with Star Trek.

solidly mid

I mean, technically everything from TNG onwards would be NuTrek and Kelvin-stuff would be NuNuTrek, or rather Re-Trek, since it's a reboot.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (10 children)

NuTrek started when they did a full visual reboot, including completely changing the look of the Klingons: TMP.

Then it got worse, when they followed that up with a grimdark shoot-em-up that felt nothing like Trek. These people aren't even fans of the show!

completely changing the look of the Klingons

You are talking about the TOS movies/TNG? Never understand the forehead thing either

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Yeah, I’m facetiously comparing the 1979 arguments over bumpy headed Klingons to the 2017 arguments over cone headed Klingons. What’s “new” keeps on changing, but the arguments about it stay eerily familiar.

I will always have a special place in my heart for the Kevin timeline because it was my gateway drug to the good stuff. I wound up watching all of Star Trek in chronical order enterprise to Voyager.
