Inspired by gregorum’s post concerning issues with startrek.website, which is ironic as lemmy.world is a bit glitchy right now and isn’t letting me upload and had to use my alt here.

    It, like every series before or concurrently, approaches the universe differently. They all have changes in style, effects, base premise, and acting. It’s Trek all the same. Doesn’t mean we have to like it.

      I can’t say if I like it or hate it as a whole; haven’t watched the show it yet (so please don’t assume this or my previous statement are meant to disparage; that wasn’t my intention). But I also haven’t seen Strange New Worlds, which still aesthetically looks like Trek to me from images I have seen. The vibe and tone are way different. Discovery looks like it is trying to be dark and gritty, which isn’t very trekky IMO. Which is one of the two main reasons I still haven’t watched it (the other being Paramount+ fuckin’ sucks)
