Paramount apparently still doesn't get it...

[fireproof78]

I wish. My joints, slower metabolism, and all that white hair I'm dyeing disagree. And I still have six-and-a-half years to go!

I mean, I figured in the 24th/25th or even the 32nd century but whatever works for you

I know exactly what you mean, minus the gray hair part. I'll be 44 in June, and I definitely do not feel like I did at 30. All those years in grocery and the freezer, with almost a decade of overnight work, really did a number on me.

Back in 2005, there was a proposal from X-Men director (and alleged sexual predator) Bryan Singer's production company to produce a Star Trek series entitled Star Trek: Federation that would have been set in 31st century with the Federation in severe decline and Starfleet described as having been "reduced to a mere peace-keeping force protecting fringe worlds from aliens and from fighting each other, with starships are old and spread out too thin."

This proposal got thrown out the window when Paramount decided to go with JJ Abrams' idea to produce a new Star Trek film.

Huh, it seems like they lifted quite a bit of that for Discovery's journey to the 32nd century. I guess Paramount probably had to pay for it, so why not use it?

Paramount is employed by a bunch of talentless ignorant arrogant clueless hacks who all hire each other and party with each other as if they're so "great" as if they're the Best specimens of humanity on earth. The writers of new trek (mostly discovery SNW and Picard) probably think they're way better than the people who worked on tos through ent. They get interviewed by their friends and they all act like their shows are a gift for us, and think they know better than the fans do, but they won't dare show up at a place with real fans, because deep down they know they'll get mocked and booed, and then blame it on some bs reason like "sexism" or "racism" rather than realize they're ignorant arrogant talentless hacks.

I wish we could get, and I really wouldn't normally say this, but if Rick Berman was leading the new shows like how he used to, we would have good trek today especially with legacy writers.

Same age. Same story. I can't concentrate on things like I used to be able to, I don't have the energy I did and I think I finally need reading glasses after four decades without them.

Gatekeeping at its finest.
“they know better than the fans do”—check
“real fans”—check
Swell.

This is clearly untrue of some Discovery and PIcard writers.

This was more accurate than you might think. I had to teach a few older students how do basic things with the computer while I was also helping them also learn how to use editing software. It was like they were trying to run before they could walk.

On the flip side, because I was young, they thought I knew EVERYTHING about computers (no, if I did, I would've been working in the I.T. Department) and could do anything with them, like it was magic.

A current drama in universities is that students are completely inept with computers, and it's starting to cause problems. eg https://www.theverge.com/22684730/students-file-folder-directory-structure-education-gen-z

Let me guess. They turned down your idea for a Star Trek show/movie/miniseries. An idea you think is real Star Trek.

if Rick Berman was leading the new shows like how he used to, we would have good trek today especially with legacy writers.

We’d probably have more catsuits too. And the soundtracks would go back to being dull, recycled pieces.

Not saying he was all bad, but Berman had his day.

If you don't like what's being produced, which you have a right to, then don't watch.

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

I like that I said I'd let you lot deal with it and you did. I'm proud of you all.

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

And the drive thru is clearly stuck.

 

[Greg Cox]

The whole "real fan" nonsense needs to be shoved out an airlock. Down with gatekeeping!

 

[Farscape One]

The only real fans are the ones who don't use the term 'real fans'.

 

[cooleddie74]

True Fans oscillate and have multiple speed settings.

This is a very long winded way of saying you want to see more women's feet in Star Trek.
