The bridge from TFF is just excellent.

Used the swimming pool years ago, in No Time Like the Past.

I actually just picked up a copy of that and it’s going to be my next read

I've been watching Classic Trek since I was a toddler around 1976. I know how it works.

And this doesn't ruin my childhood. Sorry.

Heh .. Don't even get me started on Trek longevity.

Attended the first Trek Con in NYC back in '72.
Trekkie vs Trekker was old news by then and we still had long debates about it.

I settled on being a Trek Person.
(was "WOKE" long before that was even a thing)

 

[DaveyNY]

Exactly what it says kemosabe.

You're a newbie as far as I'm concerned and one that's so hung up on the "LOOK" of the shows that you've forgotten how to just sit back and enjoy them.

That's just simple minded foolishness and a sure way to destroy what you supposedly call something you love in your own head.

Im not simple minded or foolish. Why do.you feel the need to insult me? Im giving my opinon. Ill always love the other trek shows. If matalas takes over ill be happier. He understands trek. Thats my opinon. Just because it doesn't align with your own doesn't make me simple minded. Sorry but youre really not a nice person at all when you feel the need insult on these boards.

He understands trek.

No he doesn't lol. Seasons 2 and 3 of Picard felt like bad fan fiction.

Season 1 and 2 were terrible. Season 3 while not perfect felt like star trek and had the whole tng cast together again instead of the crew we got the first 2 seasons.

 

[Tuskin38]

felt like star trek

It felt like a shitty TNG movie.

had the whole tng cast together again

with some of them acting wildly out of character.

Actually, Kirk's most important woman is talked about more than once. In fact, quite often.

Her name is Enterprise.

A man more in love with a large piece of metal than a real humanoid. Dude has issues.

Didn't he kill her?

Welcome to James T. Kirk.

Enjoyment appears to be a lost art in fandom. I had a similar discussion on another site around a desire for Trek to educate vs. a Trek that entertains. I'm looking at entertainment first and foremost.

 

[Nyotarules]

Its getting stupid in my opinion. Instead of focusing on good science fiction we get another sappy romance that of course won't go anywhere.

At least Kirk's, McCoy's and Spock's romances with women lasted a lifetime....right? Have you watched TOS?

While I find many of the critiques about SNW impulsive or obtuse, I feel they deserve some sympathy. Bob Bakish promised that the studio had analytics that would allow them to "super serve fans." If we take the claim at face value, all ardent long-term fans are part of the equation. What does it mean if they are not finding episode not just to their liking, but outside their experience of what Star Trek is? Have they been consciously excluded from the equation?

For a start, long term and short term fans should stop assuming they speak for all of fanhood.

No I'm not moving on. I want star trek to get better. I need to know what is going on to help make that happen.

If you want Trek to 'get better' based on your definition of better, well if you keep watching then the producers will assume you like what is on the box. If you refuse to vote with your remote control, you will continue to get upset if you keep drinking the 'Not my Trek' Kool aid.

Ahh yes of course, and right after the turbolift doors closed, Scotty corrected Geordi, "Ackshully laddie who's to say I dinna invent the bloody thing *wink*". Really one of the worst kind of retcons. All to have a holodeck episode of all things.

Everybody on the Ent-D was in awe of the Holodeck, and not just in a "wow can you believe we have one of those holodecks just like on earth or at a big space station" kind of way. Not to mention LaForge was talking to an elderly Scotty, so holodecks had to be a thing for like 40+ years of his life at that point. Which would just makes LaForge look like a fool. It would be like if you found a dude that was stranded on a desert isle since the 1990s, took him back home to Los Angeles, and was like "BEHOLD, THE HORSELESS CARRIAGE" as you gestured maniacally at a Toyota Corolla.

Saying 'Behold the smart phone' would be a better analogy or 'Behold the smart flatscreen tv'!

I think you might be misremembering what happened in Relics.

You mean Scotty did not respond, 'what's a holodeck laddie?' I am shocked, I tell ye, shocked!

 

[Noname Given]

No he doesn't lol. Seasons 2 and 3 of Picard felt like were bad fan fiction.

FTFY

This episode seems to be getting a mixed reaction. I didn't dislike it but didn't love it either. It was entertaining.
