Netflix has posted Star Trek: Prodigy! Please watch this amazing show and show Netflix this is a show worth saving!

Star Trek: Picard- Nostalgia is the only thing that matters. Specifically, cis-het white middle class middle age nostalgia.

Star Trek: Prodigy- Nostalgia degrades over time, and is almost always inaccurate. Nostalgia can literally poison a fandom.

THEY FUCKING LANDED ON A PLANET WHERE PEOPLE TALK LIKE WILLIAM SHATNER AND WORSHIP THE FEDERATION - BUT THEY GET EVERYTHING JUST A LITTLE WRONG BECAUSE NOSTALGIA IS BASED ON WHAT YOU THINK SOMETHING WAS NOT WHAT IT REALLY IS

NOSTALGIA IS LITERALLY POISONING THE PLANET AND KILLING OFF ALL THE 'FANS' OF THE ENTERPRISE

And here's the song because now you want to listen to it

Lexx is a fever dream of a show. The first season is basically four C grade scifi movies but the second season is high art.

let's pour one out for the fallen blorbos.

those blorbos you still think of often, who can still make you smile fondly but have taken a background position in your fandom life; those blorbos you might have dusty ol'sideblogs for that you keep even tho you know may never post there again; those blorbos who have broken both legs when falling tragically into near-obscurity in the void dimension of your brain where temporary hyperfixation goes to die; those blorbos you onced loved and will always love, just in a softer, quieter kind of way...

this one's for you, old friend.

i am emotional about lower decks ending

but they're actually fucking hilarious for dropping "permanently open multiverse portal" into the star trek canon and then dipping. @ all shows that come after lower decks, THIS is your problem now!!! you may have cancelled lower decks, but the impact of this will be FELT

scifi films I need to give another watch + make sure if they’re nostalgia good or good good 🪐🛸👾

When I rewatch an important DS9 Jem'Hadar episode, I get really angry about Picard season 3. Like unreasonably angry.

The iconic series "Star Trek" follows the crew of the starship USS Enterprise as it completes its missions in space in the 23rd century. Captain James T. Kirk -- along with half- human/half-Vulcan science officer Spock, ship Dr. "Bones" McCoy, Ensign Pavel Chekov, communications officer Lt. Nyota Uhura, helmsman Lt. Hikaru Sulu and chief engineer Lt. Cmdr. Montgomery "Scotty" Scott -- confront strange alien races, friendly and hostile alike, as they explore unknown worlds.

I love Strange New Worlds.

But.

I feel they missed a possibility back in Discovery when they changed the aesthetic.

Now, to be clear, I do NOT mind that they changed how the TOS era looks in the new shows. I really don't. TOS looks doofy as fuck in 2025. I love it, but let's be real, put aside phellating nostalgia for a hot minute, and accept that a 2020's era Trek needs to update the vibe to still feel "future".

THAT said, however, it would be funny as fuck for the SNW crew to have Time Travel Shenanigans and for some 20th/early 21st century person to see the 60's Trek giant clunky ass props and be all, "what the fuck happened to miniaturization???" And Spock to just be like, "This... Is? I'm sorry, this hand held device may look unwieldy to you, but in your time it could power a city for a month and the technology would take up three city blocks so slow your fuckin roll."
