    It’s sad to me that the dick jokes cartoon has been the closest modern trek to nail the feeling of older trek.

    Paramount seems to think moody lighting, pointless drama, and special effects is all trekkies want.

      this person hasn’t seen strange new worlds

      But feels like they can fairly say no modern trek has come close to old trek.

      You yourself admit a few seasons of disco and Picard have framed your opinion of all new trek. If you don’t like it fine, but don’t talk shit about things you’ve not watched

        K. I mean, you are correct. I did let the recent trainwrecks from the studio stop me from watching another production from that studio. Are you saying that was wrong of me to do?

          SNW is worth trying. It’s got a couple of really solid episodes and a few of the characters are great, I’m a particular fan of Mbenga. It still hasn’t grown the beard in my opinion, but it’s much better than PIC or STD and seems like it could grow one.

          The best of new-Trek is actually Star Trek: Resurgence though. It’s a Telltale style game set in the TNG era and gets it. The first act is spot on quality Trek, and the rest is still decent multi-episode finale stuff.
