I was rewatching clips of the original series and noticing how it was part problem-solving, part goofy poo poo, and part fight and shoot stuff. Then the next generation and voyager and onwards were more about being serious sci-fi, then enterprise and the reboot movies showed up and they dumbed it down again.

Now I'm wondering if Discovery will be like the new TNG or the same old poo poo like DS9 and enterprise.

I heard the new series is going to be directed by Michael Bay with Megan Fox as the captain of the Enterprise.

the newest one was good, I didn't even see previews or any word of mouth for it so it might've benefited from rock bottom expectations.

as far as the tv show, IDK how that'll work out. I can't read the future unfortunately.

I should've pointed out before, I actually liked the new reboot movies, specifically the first one and Beyond, Into Darkness was lame. What I'm getting at is the thinking man's sci-fi concept that TNG and Voyager worked on and the others didn't follow.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

Star Trek and Star Wars are the same sort of space adventure style sci-fi and sometimes Star Trek is good. But anyone who thinks Star Trek is or used to be more highbrow, more thoughtful, or more realistic is dumb as hell.

"Oh, hey, it's another planet full of hot fuckable women with slightly weird foreheads. Alright men, don't go too wild, you wouldn't want to get pregnant. Oh noooooo, it's Mr. Space-Wizard again, he's here to do space pranks to my ship! I hope he leaves soon so we can do a basic morality play with some Aliens that all exemplify exactly one solitary human attribute!"

Deep Space Nine was the best Star Trek series of them all.

It had better direction, better story lines, and better character development than the others. The war with the Dominion led to some unexpected events. The private war between Odo and Quark was especially enjoyable.

Netflix has all of DS9 on for streaming

it's really good especially when they do Casablanca starring Quark

Really 75 percent of Star Trek is alien sex stuff it's kinda weird

I like the one where O'Brian becomes displaced in time
also the one where O'Brian is hated by everybody and he doesn't know why
and the one where O'Brian becomes the god king of a tiny village

I like when Bashir is just a snarky rear end in a top hat in the background for entire episodes

i like it when bashir is james bond

For me it's a tossup between DS9 and TNG. TNG was my first so there will always be that juvenile romance in it for me, plus it had the most high octane actors.

DS9 was a work of genius though. Great characters (and hell you forgot the greatest character of all time, Garak), great dialogue, and an overarching plot that was almost as good as babylon 5's. Plus, I wouldn't exactly call it realistic, but it at least tried to poke holes in the Federation city on the hill propoganda you get fed in every other trek.
