Comment on What are the biggest red flags when talking with a Trek "fan"?
UlyssesT@hexbear.net 4 weeks agoI was generous, even patient, with Strange New Worlds and enjoyed it for the most part, if only because it was not Discovery and its tiresome contrarian “what if evil people… adorable scamps? What if everyone is kind of an asshole? What if moral ambiguity makes the audience feel very very smart while justifying whatever the writers want to show without feeling bad about it?”

I like Strange New Worlds. Very much hoping they complicate the Gorn cliffhanger they left the last season off with though.

It was weird explaining to my wife (who only watched SNW and only knew about TOS from secondhand sources) that Kirk would totally strike a truce with the Gorn… and that’s why some of them were just chilling, having a nice wedding in Lower Decks that Rutherford rudely interrupted.

Your wife has watched 3/4 of the good modern Trek series and should watch Prodigy. (and the TNG era Treks)

She lost interest after the first episodes of Prodigy, but I may try again sometime. I heard good things and it’s better to watch new shows together.

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.
