#you can’t love star trek

[isagrimorie]

sigh.

i love Andor.

I love it.

But I don’t want all of Star Wars to be Prestige TV level.

I love Ahsoka for what it is, a show about a ronin Space Wizard and friends on a Quest.

People Can Love Two Things.

Look I just think that if you’ve ever loved Star Trek, Like really loved it (not just had a passing interest or casually consumed it) then it’s gonna be a part of you forever. It injects a little whimsy in you. A little thoughtfulness and curiosity and wonder. I’ll watch Star Trek and every time I do I feel like a little kid staring up at the stars holding onto the grass. I’ll watch Star Trek and every time I’m sitting out sharing a sweater with my friend as we talk about Spock and the sun starts to set. I’ll watch Star Trek and it’s the same feeling of calm awe that I get when I sit in the aquarium.

Aliens aside it’s about humanity. It’s always about humanity and trying to understand despite it all (which I think is a core tenet of humanity). And if that compels you then it’s going to stay with you. No matter if the packaging is a bit silly. Maybe even because the packaging is silly.

Also once you love Spock I don’t think you can stop

I’ve finished prodigy and wow. I’m sorry I didn’t listen to you guys (the handful of people who talk about it) sooner it was so amazing… to anyone who hasn’t watched it just bc “it’s for kids” I’m begging u to give it a shot it genuinely has the most beautiful and emotional story and most engaging main characters out of any modern trek I’ve seen so far.

You don’t understand how much I love Tatl, she is such an underrated companion omg. Navi and Tatl my besties 🩵💛

[what-thisiscrazzzy]

The thing about me is I’m a fan of overly complicated long running tv shows or narratives like dr who or Star Trek or supernatural or procedural dramas or soap operas or telenovelas. Bc that’s what I grew up on. If you want a fandom opinion of which ship is better or what side to take in a fight my answer will be what’s the most dramatic? What’s the most satisfying story? Yeah but what if the show went another few seasons and it was a slow burn with character development in other relationships?

Best episode of tos?

(i’m sorry these don’t give enough options)

[thresholdbb]

i have a VOY confession: I skipped Threshold because the rating on imdb was SO so low... is it required viewing???

I was holding off on this question so I didn’t give you the most insane rambling answer, so thank you for your patience. Short answer: I definitely think it’s worth a watch. I, thresholdbb, am obviously biased about this, but imo Star Trek isn’t quite Star Trek without its delightfully campy side.

Threshold is often pointed to as the worst episode of Star Trek, and it has also been voted as such. That said, it really isn’t that bad. The science is iffy at best, but it’s science fiction and that part gets a pass in my book. It only veers into the ridiculous in the last act, otherwise it’s actually not bad. If it didn’t take a hard left at the end, people probably wouldn’t rag on it as much as they do.

Tom Paris has some excellent moments and Robert Duncan McNeill was having a blast being a mutant, chewing up all the scenery. The EMH has a bit that makes me laugh every time. Janeway is delightful as always. Plus, the episode won an Emmy for make-up.

Really though, I love what episodes like Threshold (and the like) represent: a willingness to take risks. Some of that has been lost in the bigger budget productions that have come after (they’re coming back around), but I unabashedly adore that these “bad” episodes exist. Plus now we get to poke fun at and enjoy hyper-evolved salamander babies for eternity. What’s not to celebrate?

It’s a Weyoun 6 sad serenade I’m sorry 😭🙈💔

Thanks for the song @eparigon

Star Trek: the future is kinda sorta utopian. Like it’s now Mostly Not Bad and people are Usually Good

Me, gleefully making ocs: so this is a whole multi-planetary faction of primarily clone cyborgs who are just warhammer 40k for cowards (read: the cover of a metal album but a whole society) and this is a planet of human colonists that got shunted back in time and way across space who’ve devolved into mad max shit and these two are mistreated orphans who become best friends and basically run a criminal organization just out of reach of the primary political powers and this—
