/trek/ is a board for the discussion of Star Trek and related properties. Please read the rules and follow them accordingly. And have fun :^) Rules 1. Posts should be related to Star Trek. The Orville and Galaxy Quest are allowed as well. 2. NSFW posts (nudity, gore,etc.) should be spoilered. 3. Global rules still apply, otherwise, just stay on topic.

Just finished re-watching the original, and boy, they is a significant amount of pretty gals on screen. Feels like I often hear nowadays how modern trecks are "too much sexy and relationships" and "ST is about nerd science and space first". There were sexy babes standing in the background, just being pretty since day one, apparently. I need to start paying closer attention to all this mise-en-scene.

you wouldn't date an alien girl

I'mma stir the hornet's nest and ask if there's any nu trek you like(d). I'm halfway ashamed to admit that I thought the Star Trek reboot from 2009 was OK -- enjoyable popcorn flick with nice visuals. Clearly not "my" Trek, but fine enough as a modernization of TOS. Of course at that point I didn't know that that was about the highest level of fidelity nu trek would achieve and things would just get worse from there. I made it through the first season of DIS but that was as far as I could take it -- for the rest I just read the reviews to see if it got better (as far as I could tell, it really didn't). For Picard I didn't even watch the whole first season, I only returned for S3 and then only because of the crew. I've enjoyed SNW mostly because it's more like the 2009 movie and omits most of the bullshit in favor of homaging TOS -- it too omits most of what makes Trek Trek and is really derivative, but at least appears more sincere and avoids actively offending the senses by toning down the obligatory interpersonal drama/mystery box plots that plague the rest of it. Not intended as a blind hate/rant thread, by the way. I would if possible also request that the people who screech "bad because woke" could leave their opinions at the door, but it's not like I can make them.

Janeway did nothing wrong. Anyone accusing her of "murder" is fat and/or has no children. That is all.

Post your favorite ships. I like the Intrepid class, it's a cute little guy.

If you could use a holodeck what would you use it for?

Attention Bajoran workers. You are to deliver 15 cargo pods of hydraxian whale oil lubricant and one crate of self sealing stem bolts to my quarters immediately. Failure to comply in a timely manner will be met with immediate and severe punishment. Also, could Kira's mother please meet me in my quarters at 16:00 hours tonight. We have important business to discuss.

Ah, Captain! Still using the default board design? How... terrestrial. A blue gradient? Really? It’s like draping the Enterprise in a hospital scrubs backdrop. I do hope your fellow starship commanders aren’t judging you. Why, that empty space looks about as inspiring as a replicator menu in the Janus Prime cafeteria! A captain’s portal to the stars shouldn’t resemble a cardboard cutout of the cosmos. Here! Now your discussions on interstellar diplomacy can unfold against the literal final frontier. All you have to do as captain is just copy the text from the third file over to your board's CSS property and apply it. It's that easy! If you complain it’s ‘too flashy,’ remember: I could’ve made your homepage orbit a neutron star. Consider this a small... quantum nudge toward the sublime.

Want a real blast from the past, captains? Get DOSBOX & run LCARS 24 on it. Instructions for it are here: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/turn-computer-star-trek-clock-lcars-24/ Program is here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/lcars24/

Just dropping by because I hate nu-trek and wanted to recommend this. It's the only fanmade show I ever watch and aside from the appearances of the actors and the terrible accent Doohan Jr. does, it really felt like a fourth season of TOS and just about better in every way, even acting. Feel free to recommend any other fan shows, but I'm betting this is as good as it gets.

Gul Dukat did nothing wrong.

I have an announcement I banged Kira Neris' mom. On this most joyous occasion I would like to extend my gratitude to the Bajoran people for breeding such fine tail. I will be allowing slightly higher rations for everyone allowed to participate in the gratitude festival as well as shorter working hours for everyone else. I hope you all have found things to be grateful for during the year as my reign has been a marked improvement from my predecessor in most major metrics. We would also like to welcome new guards to the station by teaching them how to correctly bruise kidneys, volunteers will be rewarded with free medical care, double rations and comfort women once they can stand up.
