Opinion is never the issue, it is how some folks chose to deliver that opinion.
You're allowed to have an opinion, as long as you like it.
It's maybe worth checking out, I'll prob keep trying it until Mariner breaks be because right now she's the hardest part to take.

When you’re constantly on about how young people shouldn’t be acting human, it is hard to take your opinion seriously.
Or fake their deaths and try to frame the captain for negligent manslaughter.
And who said they shouldn't act human?
Anyone? Anyone?
No?
Just that they're not acting in a way consistent with how we've seen people behave in the past in this franchise who all managed to behave human without looking like they were plucked right out of the decade the show was made in?
I mean, Picard behaved like a human and did it without (insert some 80s behavior thing here.)
Thank you for providing the outrage that accompanies even the most gentle of jokes about Trek fans.
I'm feeling at peace.
You mean how folks act like they have a Starfleet issued painstick shoved up their rears? We’ve seen very little of the lower end folks, so I don’t see any real conflict here.
I hope so XD
I mean TOS definitely felt that way at times. Certainly Trek has used turns of phrase consistent with the culture in which it was made.
I didn't find Picard very human or relatable at times so I disagree with that point too.
There is an a balance to be struck but I don't think use contemporary colloquialisms is a bad thing.
And, to use another colloquialism, mileage will vary.
When is it coming to the UK?
Still no official word, I'm afraid. The international distribution is delayed because CBS All Access decided to debut the show two months early. So I guess it could be up to two months until it reaches Europe. Let's hope it's earlier rather than later.
romulan or pon farr
Got a smile on his face, so probably Romulan.
That’s what I call “Generations”.
And at that point in history, there might be defectors or refugees or other immigrants openly getting through the Academy...?
I think they should use modern terms but it would make sense to use stuff that has already been around and stood the test of time. Like nobody is going to stop sayin Fuck or Shit anytime soon. But I doubt people are going to still be saying things like "Let's get lit" if they want to do drugs or "Your on Fire" when talking about someone doing something cool. On the other hand people have been saying stuff like "Well I guess the cats out of the bag now" or "I want to film" this even though people don't use film for awhile and these kind of phrases I feel are long term jargon that ages well when used.
