Modern Star Trek seeds to stop being so concerned with looking cool and return to its roots of being about horny nerds doing diplomacy in pajamas.

Star Trek shouldn't be about saving the entire galaxy and cinematic fight scenes. It should be about what kind of moral dilemmas of the week they can explore with a budget of four cups of coffee, props stolen from other studio sets, and 10 dollars

Quark makes me insane because he's literally one of the most tragic characters in all of Star Trek like. Not good enough at being a Ferengi not good enough at being Federation cannot find acceptance or love anywhere except his family but cannot let himself enjoy that love and acceptance because he's stuck trying to conform to a Ferengi ideal that he doesn't even want. Stagnating and unsatisfied left behind by everyone he loves doomed to be alone and it's mostly his own fault. But then he looks like this

I have to believe that the afterlife exists in the Star Trek universe (and that it’s all one big afterlife despite different cultures having different beliefs etc) so that even when the characters lose people they love they’ll eventually all be reunited and then never separated again for eternity

the beauty of watching star trek is that one episode is 4.7/5 stars with an absolutely groundbreaking concept and worldwide critical acclaim and the very next episode is the worst thing aired on television that decade

tbh though if i were mccoy i’d be pretty fucking fed up with spock too. imagine you’re a doctor, you dedicate your life to learning how care for hundreds of different life forms and species across the galaxy, and then your wife divorces you, which leads you to enlisting as a doctor for starfleet. this is WAY outside of your comfort zone, you hate adventure and you’d rather be sittin on a porch in the sun with some sweet tea in hand and your daughter on your knee, but you ain’t got nowhere else to go, and who are you if you aren’t a doctor? you’ve dedicated your whole life and so much more to healing. so you enlist, you get assigned to a starship. not your dream job, but if there’s one thing leonard mccoy knows how to do it’s treat patients. and then THIS MEDICAL MARVEL MOTHERFUCKER comes in with his fucked up gene spliced half human half vulcan biology and the rarest most obscure blood type even among vulcans with ZERO precedent for his existence or medical baseline and also happens to be THE WORST PATIENT IN HISTORY. REFUSES to sit still and follow instructions. always making smart ass comments about your silly human emotionalism. you’ll get insane fucking readings and be like “spock i think you’re dying” and the bastard will answer with a straight face “yes. that’s just pon farr.” “can you tell me how to treat it?” “no.” and then just walks out of the fucking sickbay. you’re constantly busting your ass trying to figure out how to keep this human-alien catboy mix’n’match medical nightmare from hell alive and healthy and all you get in return is backhanded compliments from an emotionally stunted fruit. and you can’t even complain about it to your best friend because he’s too busy doodling this obstinate motherfucker’s name all over his notebook while eye-fucking him on the middle of the bridge. hell i’d be an alcoholic too.
