But 3 is the worst season. They should have ended it after 2.

I don’t like Stamets.

I’m not criticising you in any way, but I’d like to protect you from future spoilers and suggest not using the card view on your app. You can set post size to compact in Voyager

Ignoring the fact that “ghost gun” is a meaningless and intentionally emotionally charged term

A ghost gun is what Emporio used to escape from Pucci in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean

The comments are all saying that’s not crazy, it’s just how jazz artists express themselves.

If you’re a kid, start with Prodigy. If you have a tiny attention span, start with Lower Decks. If you’re used to mainstream modern TV, start with Strange New Worlds. If you can tolerate 90s TV, start with TNG season 2. If you love old TV, start with TOS.

The best entry point is going to depend on who you are. There’s lots of diverse Trek for different kinds of people.

and God is real

Lots of gods are real in Star Trek. Like Kukulkan.

Kirk flirted with a little girl. Because that was normal in the 60s.

OP said they want to watch a progressive Star Trek

Prime directive. The Federation can apply such ideals to their own citizens and to foreigners who ask for help, but not to foreign citizens who don’t ask. The Borg try to assimilate Federation citizens, so the Federation has a valid cassus belli for war. The Bynars aren’t attacking any other species, so the prime directive doesn’t apply.

Paramount + did cancel a show they didn’t commission.

The Prodigy crew don’t feel like a proper Starfleet crew, and that’s because they’re literally children. They are 100% kids with the potential and the drive to grow into great Starfleet officers, and the show is fundamentally about that fact.

It’s not just the Klingon stuff, it’s all the tragedy and drama. Mostly on La’an and Una’s side. Spock is a culprit too, but at least his personal drama leads to shenanigans, which makes him tolerable. La’an and Una are no fun. Uhurua, Ortegas, Hemmer, and the engineer who got no arcs in season 2 are all more fun. Pike is boring but that’s okay because he knows how to let everyone else shine.

M’benga and Chapel met in the Klingon war and there are some flashback scenes to that. Also plenty of mention of it when Pike wants their combat skills. Ortegas is a war hero from back then.

It’s the episode where Boimler has his first command assignment and Freeman tries to prove she can fix computers.

We’re talking about computers, not leaves

My problem with Voyager is their native american consultant was a fraud, they ruined the Borg, and Janeway’s racism and transphobia wasn’t treated with the appropriate seriousness by the plot. I watch Star Trek to see woke communists explore space. Voyager and Enterprise both break that core enjoyment by making me feel pessimistic about the future, as though humanity will never grow beyond its baser instincts. People say Enterprise is supposed to be non-progressive because it’s a prequel, but the problem with that is that the real world progressed beyond the likes of Trip in less than a decade. It sends a message that things are gonna be worse in the 22nd century.

9/11 plots and augment wars suck because they don’t inspire me with hope like TNG did. S4E4 was actually pretty good despite my apprehension, they definitely went hard on the theme that people are capable of being better than they are and I really appreciate that. But I wonder whether they’re going to stick with that theme and redeem these characters, or chase conflict and misery for the appeal of the drama. Drama like that doesn’t appeal to me.

I just wanna see a strange new world. It’s been like 10 episodes since I got one in ENT. Why can’t we just seek out new life and new civilisations? And no, an Orion slave market doesn’t count, because it’s miserable and Star Trek is about hope.

Are we really using Musk’s BS as shorthand for all neural cybernetics now?
