It’s why I simply do not respect the opinions of people who say “I gave up on Discovery/SNW/Picard/LD in the first or second season.” I never have and I never will. That stance has an extreme double standard and I simply do not have a single ounce of respect for people who push it.
Those shows have around 10 episodes a season.
TNG, DS9, and VOY had about 20-24 per season.
They also ALL started with some really shitty opening seasons. Voyager didn’t get going until season 4ish, DS9 didn’t until late season 2/season 3. TNG took about two seasons to fully find its feet and have some of the most godawful TV of all Star Trek.
The same people whinin about New Trek will sit through all that garbage but won’t sit through 2 seasons of Discovery/Picard when it’s fewer episodes than a single season of OldTrek
If you say you don’t like the show then you don’t like the show. But anyone who says" I gave up after Season 1 or Season 2" I just immediately write off. I’ll still be respectful and kind and polite and care about them but opinions on what is and isn’t good Star Trek? Discarded on sight.
The love between Kirk and Spock is pretty palpable in that movie. Not surprised that even to a non-Trekkie that it would hit hard.
Also… yes. That Saru episode fucked me up. That whole season is a roller coaster. A lot of intensely emotional moments. They’re just gonna keep coming buddy! Feel free to message me about any of 'em if you wanna talk about it. Not like I don’t love Discovery lol
Like I said… keep these conversations in mind by the time you get to late Season 3 lol
Honestly I hadn’t even heard of St Marie before but then again my knowledge of people who aren’t related to Star Trek is drastically short. And the only culture my room has screams “Broke white boy with an unhealthy Trek obsession”
I might tomorrow… it’s cloudy and cold and shitty today. I miss the sun
That was an interesting google rabbit hole. But i’m pure imperial invader here. Although spending some time out in a park before the weather becomes completely unbearable isn’t a bad idea. Just… lonely.
Oh totally. To be honest I thought Kirk was the first captain until the 2009 movie. That introduced me to the character of Pike (I somehow missed his TOS episodes) and my love was born.
Ohhhhh yeah. Pike is one gloriously attractive man. Yet he also has the confidence and heart to back it up. Picard was always my Captain, hell he was my first, but Pike walked up and just dropkicked Picard out of the chair. Strange New Worlds only elaborated on that. Amazingly good looking man while being a truly amazing man as well. He’s the whole package.
