It’s too hard to keep up with all the 50 thousand different Star Trek programs out there now. I was fine with TOS, TNG, Voyager and DS9, then suddenly we have SNW, Discovery, Enterprise, Lower Decks and whathaveyou. It’s too much. Instead of expanding more and more on the Star Trek universe, create something new and fresh!

Well, Enterprise is over 22 years old. It’s not too much to take. It was the tail end of the revival that started with TNG.
But I’m with you on all the new shows. It feels like they’re flogging a dead horse now, and the scriptwriting is absolute dogshit. It’s particularly evident in Picard where there are established characters that act and speak in ways they never did on their original series.
That’s OK, they don’t need you to watch either.
This is all optional. Nobody needs it. Some people just like it and want to watch.
But how do the Borg poop?
Star Trek ended in 2005. All the new shows and films look aggressively bad and have no idea what Star Trek actually is. I will never listen to shills and I will never watch Lower Decks/Strange New Worlds/Picard Season 3, no matter how many shills tell me how Rick and Morty Trek is actually a masterpiece.
Have you seen Babylon 5?
I don’t mind more Star Trek since I like the series but the newer stuff is just horrid. Written by baboons who plagiarize whatever they saw on HBO that week. That isn’t a joke some of the scenes are a 1:1 of Game of Thrones and other more popular shows
Instead of constantly doing prequels, they could just keep the story moving forward and then it wouldnt be the dumb as all fuck convoluted mess that it is. SNW and its endless retcons. Disco, and its endless retcons, before moving into the future just to look to the past again for its stories. Lower decks, and its constant memberberries.
Star Trek under Kurtzman, has become a self-referential mess. Its hollywood in a nutshell. Cant make anything new, can only reference the past and steal other peoples ideas. People “loving” SNWs is infuriating, and it shows just how much people dont know about or care about lore and original writing. Theres a well regarded episode in season one thats a shot for shot, beat for beat remake of a DS9 episode, compete with B plot and everything. Only the names and locations are changed. And that before we get to the straight-up plagiarism of Alien/aliens. Christ, they even had a Newt character running around.
Star Trek is in a right fucking mess, because the people in charge of it, dont like star trek. They like star wars, and its shows.
