I wasn’t even aware of Lemmy when I wrote this. I only joined yesterday, but not for the intent of promoting my pieces. I don’t monetize them, so there’s that. Aside from book work, this is one of the longest pieces I’ve ever written, and I write about a range of subjects. I hope you all like it :)
Rarely has so many words been used to say so little.
This dude doesn’t know a damn thing
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
I found myself nodding along to a lot that was said in this article. I also would trace a lot of recent issues to JJ Abrams’ take. What I said then is still (I think) true today: “They are good movies, but they aren’t good Star Trek movies.” Discovery and Picard suffered for it, but I think that the ills are being corrected. My hope is that Paramount greenlights “Legacy” as the TNG-spiritually-successor as SNW is the TOS-spiritual-successor.
Where I will disagree, though, is that Star Trek isn’t broken. Five-ish years ago, I would have said that, but after SNW, Lower Decks, and Picard season 3, I think the powers that be have a better understanding of what is needed. We were in a bit of a “dark-ages” from 2006-2020, but I think we’re back on the upswing. We may not be quite at 1990s golden age Trek, but we can get close.
Well said, good sir. I’d sign that.
Heads up OP. It could be my app but I don’t see a link in your post.
Sorry about that! My first time with Lemmy :D
I’m so happy to see someone else hate Discovery and love lower decks and SNW. I have no idea why people like Discovery, so many plot holes in my opinion, I hate it.
I believe this is the link to the article:
Ah! Thanks!! I’ll update the post.
Nice find, thanks!
No link to the article :(
Thanks and sorry! I’m getting it fixed now :D
Hmm. I can’t see any comments, though I seem to be able to comment myself.
Aha! I figured it out. Comments are sequestered to the instance the user is commenting from. Federation :)
