    Yeah, that’s probably one of the reasons some complain so much about New Trek and miss the “good ol’ days”… women aren’t as sexualized anymore as they were back then.

    While back then TOS was considered crazy provocative and openminded at the time, it now registers as pretty cringe in today’s standards. Even TNG and Voyager are sometimes hard to watch.









  • That is your opinion.

    I’m a huge fan of Kurtzman and all the New Trek that he created. I love them all. I often rewatch Discovery, Picard, even Academy. I need it. I need this. The entire world is gone to shit, and his shows, his creations, are the only thing that sooth me right now.

    These comments, like the one you just made, are exactly why Academy has been cancelled, why Discovery was cut short, and so forth.

    I truly dislike Star Wars. And yet, you’ll never see me bitching about it in their forums. I don’t think about it at all until something about it shows up, and even then, I just ignore it and move along, like any normal person would do.

    If you don’t like it, if it’s not for you, then just don’t watch it, but shut the fuck up!!! Let those who enjoy it, enjoy it.

    Yes, “you’re entitled to your opinion etc.”, but do you absolutely have to ruin it for everyone else?!? You’re part of the problem here.

    You, and all others with their continuous vile comments, bear part of the responsibility in the cancellation of a beloved, respected show.





  • retro art deco

    I’m no expert though that’s how it appears to me, though I just realized I should have written: “retro-futuristic art deco”…

    The detached nacelles, I can somehow live with it, but those weird curves and lack of windows on most new ships are just too off for my brain… it’s like they were made only in CGI with no physical models were ever made, which feels kinda “wrong” and unpractical… as an example, comparing the Enterprise D in Picard season 3, vs in the series and movies. As much as they try, it’s just not the same.

    However, the new Academy ship feels mostly okay with me—aside from the Atrium protruding under, which feels is missing something
