I'm 100x more interested in going through the DS9 relaunch novels than watching any of this crap. I've not run across a single person whose opinion was worth even a thimble full of spit that liked Discovery. I never picked up Picard and Season 3 : We're So Sorry wasn't enough to get me to watch. I guess Lower Decks is watchable? It's just hard for me to really consider it more than a goofy parody.

I will only watch Strange New Worlds. I can't bring myself to watch Lower Decks, I guess my old self doesn't think Star Trek should be animated. And I'm a guy who finally watched Enterprise and decided it was actually good (other than the theme song).

There was that animated version of TOS. I don't know much about it other than they cut a few of the original cast to keep costs down also

lower decks is really good, i was resistant for a long time too since i just figured its more Discovery tier shit in animated form, but the writers are trek nerds and pull a lot of deep lore. Its very short too, I binged through 4 seasons in like 2 weeks. Finale has aired and its all over. The first 2 seasons are probably stronger than the last 2 but overall I liked it all.

i have no idea what the shit storm about discovery above is but i don't remember anything from the lower decks finale "erasing" it from canon or anything. It was just multiversal shit that ended up, like everything else in star trek, not really mattering at all.

the next two big things are that shitty Section 31 movie with Michelle Yeoh, at least its a 2h movie and not a 9 hour snoozefest, and then Star Trek Academy with STDs fattie redhead as one of the leads. i think thats a show that'll be pretty safe to skip and hopefully cancelled after 1 season. no clue whats coming after that though, I know the lead character for Lower Decks is pitching their own new animated comedy trek show but dunno what else is on the launch pad. You'd think they would be ready with a big new future Enterprise-led show.

The Countdown comic did not do the franchise any favors, JJ did not do them any favors, and streaming only shows did not do them any favors.

Star Trek was written off and that decision was reinforced multiple times, how they defiled the corpse afterwards on their paywalled service does not concern us.

I thought Lower Decks was going to be a piss-poor Rick and Morty imitation in Star Trek clothes, but it finds its groove rather quickly, and is filled with deep cuts and a lot of love for the history of the franchise.

It's legitimately my favorite Star Trek thing since DS9, and yes, over Picard S3 and the first JJ Abrams movie, though early Strange New Worlds wasn't bad either.

There's a reason they didn't try another animated series after this one for so long. The idea that they didn't have to be constrained by the limits of makeup, costumes, or film locations was great but these were all worse than the worst TOS episode (but somehow leagues better than the current stuff). Bad writing and the worst parts of 60's animation.

Figured this was probably the place to post this. I haven't watched any of the news series for the lower decks stuff, I guess I've just read what most of you guys have posted about it.



I don't necessarily care for him but he makes a pretty good points about the evolution of Star Trek and how everything has sort of shaken out.

If you don't like drinker check out nerdrotic, I think he presents stuff with a little more talent.

Nerdrotic also, if the name wasn't obvious enough, has a lot more in depth knowledge of these older franchises. Especially LOTR.

Doesn't he have bobblehead dolls on his shelves? I think I've watched his videos by time or two and I just can't do it. I have a rule that if I watch a YouTube video and I got a bunch of kids toys and dolls and shit, I don't watch it, no matter how insightful they might be.

He owned a comic book store for years and spent a few years in prison for drugs. Dude has had a lifetime of collecting comics and also done some hard time. He's got some unique perspective and is very intelligent and a great communicator. Drinker is good but you can tell it's all fake bravado where nerdrotic has walked a pretty tough walk to get where he's at. He's way more authentic.

I guess that's what I'm talking about I just call them bobblehead dolls because that's what they sort of look like. I don't know why the hell they're called Funko pops, it's all just pretty faggy.

No more faggy than wanna be rappers collecting tennis shoes. People collect things that they see value in. Some of those collectibles end up worth some loot. Same as those limited run sneakers for some reason.

It's like anything that doesn't depreciate. Some people collect guns. It's money in the bank unless you get robbed.

Legos would have been a really good one to invest in, the Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series sets that go out of production fucking skyrocket.
