Star Trek Picard is not Star Trek

[SJGardner]

The only people who like Picard and Discovery also believe the earth is round, vaccines are safe and Australia is real!

"Like" Picard and Discovery? You mean the people who have been abducted by Kurtzman's goons, had Romulan mind probes glued to their temples and were tortured with horrific imagery like energetic redheads swearing, people using holograms and windows instead of viewscreens as well as shaved Klingons with marbles in their mouths until they were conditioned into compulsively posting on the internet about how much they love the new shows?

Of course I love Discohelpmevery and Picaendthispleaserd. Why wouldn't I?

There... are... seven... Star Trek shows!!!

Official propaganda? Is it just me, or do fans begin to sound like weird conspiracy/ truther people?

They are probably "truthers" or "culture warriors" first, fans second.

What is important is to respect all fans

Ironic considering you more or less have the attitude of "fuck anyone who likes Picard and Discovery" and how you seem to shit on people on this forum who enjoy "Fake Trek" as you would call it.

If you want to be respected, you need to show respect.

I asked the Borg why people that dislike new Trek shows are still around and the answer quite shocked me

 

[SJGardner]

HERESY!!!

He was an interesting guy for sure. I remember him when he was a poster here back in the day. There were some very perplexing discussions at that time.

My favourite James Dixon post was when he started off a response to someone with "I've been studying Treknology for thirty years..."

Ol' James Dixon still maintains his website as a shrine to himself and his true power.

The best one I ever heard was that the person I was discussing a subject with was "In a position of knowledge and how dare I question them".

It still makes me smile every time I think about it.

For the record, I remember the "Star Trek: The Motionless Picture" joke doing the rounds in fandom within days or weeks of the movie opening back in 1979. That's not revisionism or propaganda; that's history I lived through. (See also "Where NOMAD Gone Before.")

Man, and I spent all those years studying other things...

Wait, you mean I could be working my office job with a Master's in Treknology instead of the useless Political Science I've taken? My whole life is a mistake!!!

can't be. hours after the movie was released, the Enterprise was still getting ship-porn beauty shots in the dry dock

Just wait until you get into the weirdo Facebook groups and learn that Alex Kurtzman was actually fired ages ago, and JJ Abrams embezzled a fortune from Star Trek Into Darkness

I still remember the guy who insisted that STAR TREK BEYOND had been secretly cancelled, was not actually in production, and would never ever hit the big screen.

Let's get Mike Zeroh involved with Star Trek, then we'll hear some really sweet shit.

tbf, STB had what was one of the worst marketing campaigns I've seen my entire life

Same folks that said Discovery seasons 2, 3 and Picard have all been “precancelled”.
It’s a word that exists now because of them

Pretty much...I didn't even know it was being made or coming out until like..a month before it released
