I see all the "fans" of it say it's hysterical and the last episode was a funny rip on the movies, but it just seems like the humor is all "reference you know" and people are all "😂 i know that!"

I'm doing a TNG rewatch for the first time since I was young. I've always liked the show, but seeing it as an adult changes my perspective on things, and makes me appreciate tons more episodes. So, "I, Borg" as a kid was kind of boring and I didn't care about it, but I loved the movie First Contact. Now watching it, it makes First Contact irrelevant, amongst other things. The whole idea of the Borg, their very nature shifts, and more importantly, Picard's outlook on them. He acts like FC Picard towards the Borg in this episode, but by the end, he sees them in a different light. Almost compassionately. So I guess my question is, did the writers of FC not watch or just disregard "I, Borg?"

We know precious little about Star Trek: Strange New Worlds beyond that it will debut on CBS All Access at some point in the future and "will follow Captain Pike (Anson Mount), Science Officer Spock (Ethan Peck), and Number One (Rebecca Romijn) in the decade before Captain Kirk boarded the U.S.S. Enterprise, as they explore new worlds around the galaxy." The series premiere was apparently written by Akiva Goldsman with the story by Akiva Goldsman, Alex Kurtzman and Jenny Lumet. Goldsman, Kurtzman and Lumet will serve as executive producers, which means this is the same group that helmed Picard. Take from that what you will.

They seem to be insinuating that this may be more of an episodic style show like classic Trek, and they are making promises that it "deals with optimism and the future." We've had their promises before though, so I put to you: What do you think this show is actually going to be?

I'm currently watching through TOS right now, and on the episode of "The Galileo Seven". When Spock inspects the weapon thrown by the unknown enemy, he refers to the point as a "Folsom Point". However, the subtitles refer to it as a "XXX POINT" or "XXXX POINT".

Was there any reason for this? Memory Alpha says nothing about subtitles changing specifically on Netflix. Here is an image gallery of these subtitles

Rewatching and firmly of opinion that Kate>Beverly. Don't care for Wesley either, otherwise a top show!

Anyone know of anything of that sort?

For research purposes, of course.

Because I want to be able to shit talk Picard here.

I posted this on the official Star Trek reddit and a lot of people didn’t like me asking/starting a conversation about DS9’s possible remaster. I just wanna hear y’alls thoughts on it. Dude when I saw the HD clips from “What We Left Behind”, I lost my mind at how great DS9 looked. I know it's not on CBS’s mind but darn it. They needa funnel a little bit of those f-bombs and space wars money into a DS9 remaster. It’s a great series and deserves a proper release for the people.

I’ve been rewatching TNG and TOS for the first time in a long time. I had completely forgotten how similar the first season of TNG is to TOS in that first season. Lots of weird planets with green or red skies, strange creatures, and an overall sort of nightmarish tone that I really found interesting. I especially liked that episode “Conspiracy” with the brain slugs. Season 2 of TNG and the tone shifted quite a bit, becoming pretty much the show it would remain (which is great!)

I guess my point is that I remember thinking and maybe hearing that the first season of TNG is not that good, but, on this most recent rewatch, I really enjoyed it!

What worked? What didn't? How would you have preferred to see things play out along the lines of the story that was told: a great synth civilization exists beyond the galaxy and a memento of their civilization informs us of them.

Welcome to the Final Frontier

When Gene Roddenberry launched us all on our maiden voyage with Star Trek, there was an undeniable sense of mystery and adventure as the crew of the Starship Enterprise set out to explore strange new worlds…and you know the rest. These ideals of forward thinking, human progress, and ambition permeated the entirety of the hopeful future envisioned by Roddenberry and instilled in Trek fans an undeniable unity as we collectively bonded over our love for the characters, accurate science, and compelling narratives.

To varying degrees over the lifetime of Trek, intelligent debate and discourse has played a strong part in interactions among fans. Of course, who can forget the Trekkie/Trekker arguments? There have also been countless deliberations over episodes and stories, preferred captains and crew, starship designs, technology, and Federation adversaries. Let’s face it: we have always been an especially nerdy fandom, doing things like seeking out the intricacies and minute details of fictional engineering, science, and politics in order to further our opinions of how things are supposed to work, or whether a character’s strategy in solving a problem was really the best way of going about it. Suffice it to say, we are always trying to learn more about the components of this fictional universe, and we take pride in the knowledge we accumulate. We also like to talk about that knowledge with others. More recently, though, it seems like this traditional interplay has gradually become restrictive.

It’s growing more and more apparent in certain subreddits that anything short of absolute adoration or acquiescence to the creative decisions or narrative direction of more recent Star Trek is no longer tolerated, and sometimes not even allowed. Moderators have grown increasingly repressive to the point of being outright condescending in certain cases. Passionate debate appears as though it is being stifled, if not shut down completely. Furthermore, it seems that anyone with a dissenting opinion—even an informed one made in good faith—are being painted with a broad brush as neckbeards, gatekeepers, basement-dwellers, or manbabies. At worst, some are unjustly and baselessly called bigots, misogynists, misandrists, and the like.

Frankly, this type of exclusionary behavior isn’t acceptable in any fan community, but especially not Star Trek, which was built upon the foundation of inclusion, pushing boundaries, overcoming limiting beliefs, shifting paradigms, and using intelligence and reason to overcome obstacles and solve problems. In our view, the Star Trek fandom is incredibly vast and diverse, and our opinions and observations reflect that in equal—if not greater—measure. That many of those with honest intent are being dismissed and expelled from the conversation is entirely contradictory to the spirit of Trek.

And so, we invite you to journey beyond the borders of naïve conformity and explore the r/FinalFrontier! As other communities like Game of Thrones fans have done with r/freefolk, and as Star Wars fans have done with r/SaltierThanCrait, this subreddit has been created to offer Star Trek fans a place to discuss the franchise and express themselves freely without needing to fear punishment or ridicule just because they don’t like something.

It is important to clarify, however, that while this sub is dedicated to allowing space for free expression and open discussion, outright and legitimately substantive instances of hate, bigotry, discrimination, or toxicity will not be tolerated. You can disagree with a creative decision or not be a fan of a character without debasing yourself and others and resorting to hostility and prejudice. Such behavior is not welcome. Beyond that, we also expect everyone to maintain a degree of respect worthy of the franchise we are fans of. You can contend with each other passionately and even intensely without going to war with each other. Diplomacy should always be the ultimate goal.

In keeping with our vision for this sub, and in the interest of ensuring an enjoyable experience for participants as much as our moderation capabilities allow, we have compiled the below list of rules we expect all to follow, the most important of which is the r/FinalFrontier PRIME DIRECTIVE.

1. The PRIME DIRECTIVE: Don't Be Awful
This is a broad order, but it is an important one. This subreddit is intended for discussion and debate in good faith. Anyone being profusely awful will not be tolerated.

Examples of "awful" behavior include but are not limited to: personal attacks, racism, sexism, fighting, trolling, harassment, inciting violence, calls for boycotts, and general toxicity.

Additionally, all redditors are expected to follow reddiquette and abide by the Content Policy.

2. Be Mindful of Sensitive Subjects
Traditionally, Star Trek covers many challenging topics related to politics, philosophy, etc. It's inevitable conversations pertaining to such topics will occur here.

However, it is possible to discuss these things in an intelligent, respectful manor without it devolving into a flame war. Remember the Prime Directive.

As such, anyone being unnecessarily verbose and/or disparaging toward any political views, religious beliefs, or cultural practices may be subject to action.

3. No Pornography or NSFW Content
Fairly self-explanatory. There are also multiple subreddits already dedicated to NSFW Trek content; Adding another would just be superfluous.

4. No Piracy or Unauthorized Materials
Although already covered by Reddit's Content Policy, it bears repeating, especially with most newer Trek being exclusive to certain streaming services.

Not only is pirated content itself prohibited, we can also not abide sharing links or references to unauthorized sources, or providing directions or advice on where/how to pirate copyrighted materials.

NOTE: We do not consider LEAKS or SPOILERS as piracy, but they should be appropriately labeled.

5. No Low-Effort Content/Shitposting
Low-effort content, or shitposting, has been described as content that is typically created quickly and also does not contribute to a discussion.

"Low-effort" can also constitute posts which are vague, copy current trends, restate existing information, create unaffiliated threads to an existing and ongoing discussion, simply ask for opinions/feedback without offering any, generalized statements without insight, and so on.

Content deemed "low-effort" will be removed

6. No Advertising or Self-Promoting
Once again, the Reddit Content Policy does cover this, but we re-stress that posts or comments plugging, hyping, promoting, or otherwise endeavoring to draw attention to your own personal Star Trek blog, podcast, video reviews, fan film/fiction, etc. will result in your posts or comments being removed. Excessive or recurring instances may result in user removal.

The primary purpose of this rule is to prevent spam, but also to avoid additional low-effort content as noted in Rule 5.

Thank you for enlisting, and we hope you enjoy trekking into the r/FinalFrontier.

Live long and prosper!
