Every single large server in this federation has at least one Star Trek community. There is even an entire server dedicated to Star Trek.
Not only that, these communities are some of the most active I’ve ever seen. There is no other franchise I know of that dominates the federation as much as Star Trek does.
So, what’s the correlation with Lemmy and Star Trek? Why not other sci-fi series? Please, are there any connections?? Is this all coincidental?
im not a trek fan but i hear that a lot dont like how it became more action oriented than it should be. is that a true criticism?
Star Trek has always been more about diplomacy than violence.
It is a trek between the stars, not a war.
That said, it contains action, but it wasn’t the main selling point.
Very much so, yes. That’s what turned me off of Picard, for instance (and the whole “Earth is back to being a shithole after a single android attack” thing).
The very obvious subtext of every good Star Trek episode and plot is that just talking things through is a good way to solve most problems. Newer writers don’t seem to have gotten the memo, and instead try to cram as much generic hollywood garbage as they can into the series.
That’s only an issue with some of the new trek series, not the classic ones from last century. I’m not really concerned with paying attention to the new ones at all.
yes.
nuTrek (the Abrams movies) and Picard S1 were way more action than I was expecting and it made me like them a lot less than other properties. However, the vast majority of Trek is not action-oriented at all and is more about traditional science-fiction stories — providing an abstraction of real-world issues and approaching them through a philosophical lens with spaceships, alien races, and esoteric concepts as allegory.
