Is it safe to start a debrief chat about season 5 yet? Does anyone
need more time to watch episode before I start posting x,y,z about
what I thought :)

Anyone waiting to see the finale, what are you waiting for?

Just don't tell me what happens in the conclusion of "Best of Both
Worlds".

Talk all you like... I'm not one for getting bent out of shape on spoilers.

I'm somewhere around Episode 5 for this I think.. maybe further. Its not a bad season overall. I wasn't super into the middle seasons of this.. ie. the alternate universe crap. I can tolerate it on a single or double episode level but I've never liked it much. A whole season of it is a bit of a turn off for me. I also found the 'wokeness' of it to be a bit overbearing in this show. I get it.. we're accepting of lgbt etc. in the future.. for the most part, we are in the 21st century as well with caviats. Wouldn't it just be a non issue tho? Like sure.. so and so is trans.. but why make a story around it. Wouldn't we be so past all that bullshit that we wouldn't just have someone trans or non binary walking around without having to make note of it? or at least making note of it when coming into contact with a species that has those attributes.

Without bringing a debate to the table for the community, I just kinda think that in the future we wouldn't go looking for that information. It just seems like Hollywood pandering to me as opposed to useful story. I'm sure thats gonna get me called a bigot in some circles but whatever. I'm not.. so anyone who wants to throw that crap around can gladly keep it to themselves. It really is OK to question things and still not look down on them.

Yeah, best to wait for a lot of people to see that before revealing any spoilers..

I'm a Star Trek fan and I watched it (and generally enjoyed it).

i get a lot of the criticism Discovery got in the first season, it did some pretty piss poor choices (we all remember the S1 Klingons) but i think once it grew into its own story it became pretty classic Trek. do give it a shot when you can :)

I couldn't make it past the second episode of the first season. Since I'm out of Trek to watch (yes, including the animated series), I might give Discovery another shot.

now i'm waiting for the next season of Strange New Worlds...

The first two seasons were OK. I really wish they could make something like DS9 again.

I was going to watch Enterprise a while back, but as petty as it is I could never get past the theme song and give it a chance. haha :)

Enterprise is worth watching just for young Jolene Blalock (T'Pol). She was hot and cool, like 7 of 9.

and that's fair! i can't change anyone's mind about it. all i can say is that as someone who really enjoys star trek as a whole and as a cultural
touchstone, i thought discovery was good. i hope you have a better time with
it this time around!

and i'm excited Prodigy finally got picked up for season 2 :)

Which animated series? The original animated series, Lower Decks, or Prodigy?

I thought Discovery got better with season 2. Also, Strange New Worlds is an offshoot of Discovery, as the Enterprise under command of Captain Pike appeared in season 2 of Discovery (the last episode of Discovery season 1 had a teaser of Discovery meeting up with the Enterprise).

The original animated series from the 70s.

There it is..

One comment I have about that is that 'straight representation' is a product of its time... majority rules... most people where straight in their eyes generally speaking.. media is going to cater. Media has finally woken up to the idea that 'well shit, there are other people in the world' and are looking for growth into markets. Sure.. its great to have representation but the obvious pairing off for really no reason seemed to pander rather then represent. Seriously.. it was everywhere even in straight representing relationships. Startrek was always about fostering in advanced beliefs... inclusivity... it was subtle. The stupidity of todays world was looked back on as barbarism but not dwelled upon. If they wanted to address an issue, they did it in an episode, not the whole f'n series. Why is full on bigotry always assumed?
