Is it time to put Star Trek to rest?

[fireproof78]

the spirit of the 2020's we may expect a new series where Earth has been ravaged by civil war and then destroyed, the Federation has fallen apart and the few human survivors are searching for a new planet where they can continue their infighting and bickering.

You do realize that in order to get to the Federation there has to be WW3? Utopia is no guarantee, not even by Trek's standard.

I can assure you I have never expressed a distaste for Enterprise.

Oops I quoted the wrong post. Sorry

As for your taste, maybe you should watch Baywatch or something similar instead of Star Trek.

My taste are just fine, thanks. I've been watching Trek for almost 40 years and see no reason to stop now. As for Baywatch, thanks for the suggestion. It was a fun show during its heyday. Been a few decades, but it would be fun to go back and see Mitch and the gang run down the beach again.

I like those characters and what you think is irrelevant for me

Evidence points to the contrary.

They are ruined and the destruction was unnecessary,

Again, what makes it unnecessary? Was it necessary when Praxis blew up? Was is necessary to destroy the original Enterprise? Or the Enterprise-D? Probably not, but it pushed forward the narrative and changed the dynamics of the story.

Merging the Romulans with the Vulcans actually destroys two of the most important races in the Star Trek universe.

How so? And why do you hate Spock's goal of reunification?

Who are you to question my opinions?

I'm not questioning anything. I'm stating outright that you're simply afraid of change. Nearly everything you've said points to this rather obvious conclusion.

"Things can and should change"? What a stupid statement!

How is it stupid? Explain. If something isn't changing, if a story lacks any growth, that means it's stagnant.

What if they change to the worse?

You'll never know if you don't try. Further proof that you're afraid of change.

As for Voyager, it did change to the worse.

Most would probably argue to the contrary. I no big fan of Voyager, but much like the general consensus that TNG improved in season 3, the consensus with Voyager is that it improved in season 4.

Changes for the sake of changing is just stupid.

Seems like more definitive proof of a fear of change.

No, they have become a sad mess and so have the Vulcans too.

How so? They are most certainly a damaged people. Their future might be in question. But now instead of being bland, mustache twirling villains, they've become a people in search of hope. A race that needs to change and adapt if it wishes to survive. They are now far more interesting.

Watching Star Trek is not proof of intelligence.

Never has that been more obvious.
