  “I don’t like Star Trek” is just code for “I don’t like Star Trek yet”

  I’m just amazed by the amount of Star Trek content on lemmy. I didn’t know so many people still liked it.

    So much content that you guys have convinced me to start watching star trek. I’m 6 seasons into TNG now.

      Hey, we got one! Also, that you made it past TNG season 1 is a feat in and of itself. But don’t fret, the last season, while you’d think they’d have their shit together, includes a couple of it’s worst episodes. Soldier through.

      Same. I watched strange new worlds, now TNG.

      TNG was great, I used to watch it on TV with my mom and now I enjoy just turning on a random episode.

  I’m tired of all the “Shut up Wesley”.

    I will never tire of telling Wesley to shut up.

    Yeah. It was the weakest writing in the show’s history, including the entire Lore introduction.

      Outside the community may be a tougher sell, though.

  One way or another, the sons of bitches will be assimilated and they will fucking like it

  Idk, this gets a pass from me. More so before all the new shows came out though, those are easy to love.

  The old stuff is difficult to get into though, and there is usually a lot of bad writing, poor production values and terrible acting to get past before it starts getting good.

  And sadly a lot of 60's and 90's Trek fans are bigoted old men, which is another mark against the show for anyone with a passing interest who's met a Trekkie of this caliber irl or looked into fan spaces online.

    a lot of 60’s and 90’s Trek fans are bigoted old men

    I call bullshit on this. What Trekkies are bigots? I’ve never met anyone IRL or online who didn’t believe most of the tenants of the show, including tolerance and inclusion.

      Agreed. While examples where those ideals fall short can be found in every iteration, there is a visible change over time. We’re in the middle of a great 3rd resurgence, or “Latinum Age” if you will, and things are looking brighter than ever.

      Yeah, I can’t see it either. I mean, there are/were Republicans who thought RAtM wasn’t about them, so I’m sure there are some old bigoted people who are Trek fans. I can’t imagine it being a lot.

      If you're a white guy you're unlikely to see or be on the recieving end of bigotry from these types of people.

      The trek boards on reddit were vile when Discovery came out, if anyone remembers that? Hundreds of pissed off trek fans adamant that a black woman should not be the main character. And even before then the asian wife jokes, misogyny and rape jokes about Keiko were a regular occurence.

      You guys need to keep in mind there's a huge cross over between nerds and incels, and between star trek fans and old white guys who like imagining white guys in charge of exploring space and getting to fuck all the alien women.

      Trek nerds can be shit people too. You aren't immune.
