I have absolutely randomly jumped into a conversation like that before 🤣

Yes exactly, you can walk up to anyone in a Star Trek shirt and by simply saying the phrase “favorite captain?” you’ll probably have a new friend two hours later.
- Comment on Karim Diané Gets Support From George Takei For Playing Star Trek’s First Gay Klingon 3 days ago:
“I genuinely cannot believe that a gay character on a TV show in 2026 can cause this much commotion. Y’all, like, I thought… I don’t know what I thought. Like, y’all gotta understand, I live in New York City, right? So you could be purple, in Brooklyn, and nobody cares. Nobody gives a ****. You know what I mean? So, like, when I come to the internet, and I see, like, all of these feathers being ruffled… it’s jarring, but, nevertheless, I guess it signals that there’s more work to do, so, yeah, uh, anyways, let’s talk about Kyle kissing Jay-Den in episode seven, y’all.”
😂 Gene protect this man

I noticed that they had an account on the same instance as StarTrek.website. I’ll check it out!

Same lol, they’re both great. But that’s where the similarities end as far as I can tell.

I’m with you. Felt very normal for twenty somethings.

I really don’t think we were meant to interpret the advice of “be a dick” literally. People with social anxiety oftenfeel like they’re being a dick when others just see confidence and playful teasing.
I interpreted his lesson to stop being afraid of how others perceive him, which is a recurring theme of this series.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x07 “Ko’Zeine” 6 days ago:
I thought this episode was the sort of comfortable, regular-ass side quest character-development stories the fans are always clamoring for. Honestly surprised to see the largely negative reaction here.

I see what you mean. When I said “growing as individuals” I meant it moreso as “learning about ones self”, i.e.: Kirk is forced to face and overcome his own racism, Spock faces his own biases when he is let down by the betrayal, etc. But yes if we’re talking career advancement, then you’re right. They’re all basically facing retirement except Sulu and Chekov, really.
Personally speaking that doesn’t affect the story at all for me, I think it’s up there with TWOK as the best Trek film for it’s Soviet Union “end of history” allegories.

Are these people even watching the show?
Honestly? I have to assume not. I think they watch YouTube ““reviews”” of the show instead. At best, I’m sure some of them have it on in the background while they scroll rage bait on their phones.
I think that casual attitude makes sense for someone who has been around for hundred’s of years.
I think it makes sense too, but even if she was only in her 60s… who the hell cares? She gets the job done, she has the respect of her crew, again, who the hell cares? The fact that male characters are seldom criticized for doing the same thing should tell you all you need to know.

Saving democracy through experience, cunning, and guile in their golden years all while continuing to grow as individuals isn’t enough for ya?
Genuinely curious about your take, it’s not something I’ve seen before.
- Comment on Did you like Star Trek: Nemesis? 1 week ago:
For me Nemesis falls solidly into the “Not a ‘good’ movie, but something I can put on literally any time and have fun with it.”
As you said, the themes, inasmuch as they exist, are clunky. The story is nonsensical. But the performances are good as always, the sets are good as always, and the presentation (sfx/makeup/etc) are solid as always.

If you want to know about the Breen the only canon resource is DS9 and Discovery season 5.

Creepy how close this is to my exact experience… I did really enjoy Disco 4+5 however, even though I also thought the whole “jump to the future” idea was a little contrived.

Trying too much (and all at once) in my opinion!
- Comment on Kate Mulgrew Defends ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ And Captain Ake From “Disrespectful” Online Attacks 1 week ago:
“It’s a school but also they go on starship adventures” sounds so dumb to me I can’t believe it works so supremely well.

Well said. The sidebar says the #1 rule in this community is “be constructive”. I think most of us here enjoy a spirited debate with a like minded crewmate, but jumping into someone else’s thread to tell them how much you didn’t like something because of reasons is… well not constructive.

But was I bitching about it on the internet? No
My goodness what an absolutely crazy concept

If you didn’t finish it, I highly recommend the last two seasons. I almost gave up on it for the reasons you cite, but the last two are a large tonal shift (positively in my opinion).

It’s so odd how these criticisms are only directed at women…
- Comment on Kate Mulgrew Defends ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ And Captain Ake From “Disrespectful” Online Attacks 1 week ago:
Discovery probably “got it the worst” because it came out during peak gamergate-era politics. Online fandoms were weaponized and radicalized into right-wing culture warriors. Discovery is easily the least preachy of any Star Trek series but because it had a black woman in a leading role it became an obvious target for ragebaiters to make stuff up about.

Jimmmy Kirk lounged around when there was a crisis so I don’t know what these people are upset about

On the contrary it is a big deal, it makes Ake extremely endearing and likeable.
