    It's not a drama although it's very dramatic.
    It's not a soap opera he said she said convoluted mind twist that preaches to itself.
    It's not a technobabble particle of the week show.
    It's not a high tech procedural
    It's not jingoistic

    I was going to say, "It's not a rock! It's not a salamander!" but I can imagine where the latter of those might lead. ;)

    Star Trek is not "Only the parts of the franchise that I enjoy or approve of."

    Star Trek is not a flagship for superior liberal and scientific principles.

    Nor a health spa or apple store and brewery. Nor is it a place for odd looking people except if they're aliens.

    It's neither a floor wax, nor a dessert topping.

    None of it, we've all been suffering for a mass delusion, there is nothing called "Star Trek" :lol:

    Listing all the things that are not Star Trek is not Star Trek.

    Star Trek is not as popular as Star Wars. :evil:

    ^ Even given the war, and monsters and destruction of entire worlds, nothing in Star Trek could ever match the death count in that little New England town.

    SPOCK: Captain. They will not answer. The long-range sensor sweep of this system reveals no sign of life.
    KIRK: That can't be. The last census reported a total inhabitation of more than four billion people.

    Especially WWE Raw. That's definitely Star Trek.

    In many different universes, simultaneously.
    So how did Beverly buy the cloth at Farpoint Station? She specifically said to charge it to her account on the Enterprise.

    Federation credits. This is mentioned numerous times in TOS. By the time of The Voyage Home it's reasonable to assume that they don't use cash, but to say they don't use currency is ridiculous. People buy things, both legitimately and on the black market.

    And for those who "choose to keep alien money"... how did they get the alien money in the first place?

    I have to ask: If there's no money, no currency, no cash except for "alien luxuries"... why do Joe Sisko and Robert Picard continue to operate their restaurant and winery? It doesn't make sense unless they're making some kind of profit. They prefer to do without replicators, so it's not like they can just endlessly recycle everything.

    Earth is not the entire Federation. Turkana IV didn't do so well, did it?

    Hate me if you want but I don't feel that Discovery is Star Trek, more a fan fiction given a big budget.

    A huge budget with which any sci fi show could thrive on. Izzics up the wazzoo.
