do they have juicy fruit?

I am a baby boomer and have absolutely no interest in any of that shit.
I support IDIC and the Federation. That is where my loyalties lie. I’m not familiar with this “fandom” that you speak of. Maybe it’s a good thing.
Kaplah!
Kaplah!
It’s canon. Please do not mock canon. It’s most unseemly and an insult to fandom.
I have no faith that Tarantino could ever play nice in Star Trek's universe, he would do it his own way or not at all.
But there's no reason Tarantino couldn't use his fame and influence to just make a new sci-fi movie based around whatever he wants. It's a genre he hasn't tried yet, so it'd be perfect for him.

And so we wonder why Trek isn’t any good anymore… Red blood and red meat created Star Trek. A military man. A cop. Not a social worker or a community organizer. A boozer. A Lothario. Ahh - inconvenient truths!
Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.
You sure do enjoy hearing yourself talk, don't you?

Thank you for your concern. Please deal with my assertions one-by-one. For example, you could say, “Spock was a vegetarian, so Roddenberry was a progressive after all, not merely a carnivorous lunkhead”. See, I’m helping you!
Interesting. What episode did this happen in?
There's nothing within your assertions worth "dealing with" at all.
I could post my ‘I’m tired of being right’ meme, but that would be needlessly redundant.
At the end of many episodes the Enterprise crew leave behind a planet where they have effected regime change. Kirk forces Krako and Oxmix to settle their differences. The Federation will then periodically show up to get its “cut”, in effect gaining a vassal planet. “Nazis” are overthrown. The Roman Empire changes its trajectory. The Yangs and the Koms get a lesson in geopolitics. Shall I go on?
Star Fleet is an idealized American military force. It’s not the United Nations Blue Helmets. It is a lethal and aggressive organization. I like Star Fleet. As it is portrayed!
You watched different episodes than I did.
Just finished re-watching Season 4 of For All Mankind. With six days to spare! Next up: an old show on Tubi called UFO. For whenever I take breaks from watching Dark Shadows.
And now back to whatever the Hell this thread has become about! I have no idea.
Spock: "I believe the Captain feels that Starfleet's mission has always been one of peace."
Still in Season 2, but that's alright! I'll have a few episodes of 5 to binge when I get round to it in April!
U.F.O. was fun. Cute girls with purple hair and Gerry Anderson SFX.
Your reply is, alas, inadequate and therefore totally unacceptable. I gave you evidence and you merely denied it without providing any counter-evidence.
Here’s one more: that planet that wages war with computers and compels citizens to enter eradication chambers whenever their city “takes a hit”. No actual physical destruction - just virtual war with deadly consequences. Well, Kirk is having none of it, and when he and some crewmen are under threat he threatens real war, with destruction and loss of life the old-fashioned way. Needless to say, he convinces the planet to alter its way of life - through force majeur. I like it. I like Kirk’s threats. I like the fact that the Enterprise can destroy the entire planet. Phasers and photon torpedoes. Bring it on!
