Quark and Otto on a mountain for 1 hour.
I would 100% watch a spinoff starring Armin Shimerman and Alfred Molina as Quark and Otto Octavius, just hanging out on a mountain and chatting for an hour.

Man, I’m sorry you feel this way. You’re really missing out.

I completely agree with you, I feel like this about all nu trek. Star trek enterprise was the last star trek that was star trek and anything produced since has been star drek.
I tried watching the dumb pew pew movies I really did. They are ALL godawful and have nothing to do with star trek.
I tried watching STD, I really did. I dropped out somewhere S2 in disgust.
I tried watching Picard, I really did. They ruined Picard and data. Then they ruined Guinan and Q. Then they ruined the entire TNG cast.
I stopped watching star trek, all of it, for a long time now because of that shite.it used to be my most favorite show, I have dozens of books, miniature ships, games and whatnot.
I switched to the Orville. It started as a sort of parody and then accidentally or not became the best trek made in the past 20 years

Have you watched lower decks or strange new worlds? Strange new worlds is in my opinion easily the most “star trek” of the newer shows and I think it’s excellent. Lower decks is obviously a cartoon but it too manages to somehow feel more like star trek than discovery and often Picard and it’s just a lot of fun and seems to be self aware enough to make it silly while still feeling like Star Trek.
The orville is also great and great star trek, too bad it’s very likely not returning for more.
phoenixz@lemmy.ca 9 months ago
Nope, and not going to. Why? Because I was told the same about the new trek movies. They. Sucked. So badly. I was told the same about discovery. It was cringe bad, hateful, spiteful, it was horrible. Then I was told the same about Picard. And hey, it’s Picard, this MUST be like TNG, right? RIGHT?
Picard was godawful. Season one ruined Picard and Data. It ruined seven of nine. It ruined Starfleet, it ruined the federation. Picard is now a bumbling old man who gets put in his place by women because … I dunno. Sheer fucking hubris ! Because that’s how we talk now in star trek. Season two managed to fuck over Guinan and Q and the Borg. It was aweful. All built up history is just optional now, just ignore every, do what we want just so we can tell vapid dumb stories. Then. Season three… The entire cast of TNG. All ruined. Beverly, who once disobeyed an order to help a terrorist is now a black ops cold blooded killer or something, whatever…They ruined the fucking enterprise herself. And the entire Borg thing (thanks for ruining it twice in a row) and the sad sad changeling storyline…
I’m done.
Star trek was important to me, it shaped my life, it made me who I am today. Believe me, I try to be a better guy every day because of star trek. Classic trek, that is.
That’s why it is pissing me off so much that nu trek has been treated so piss poorly by people that didn’t know trekz didn’t care about it, and just wanted to used it as a platform for their political stance. You’ve fucking ruined something great and you should be ashamed of yourself.
OrangeJoe@lemm.ee 9 months ago
In fairness, voyager ruined the Borg, not Picard.
Also not really sure about that whole being put in his place by women comment… Is it just that you feel he was put in his place at all, or that it was a woman who did it? Cause if it’s the latter…
Anyways I feel that would be a mistake not to at least give SNW or lower decks a try as you never actually know until you try, but I’m not going to sit here and try and convince you beyond saying what I already have if you have already made up your mind. Then again, it’s probably a good idea if things being different upset you this much. All the best.
And don’t worry I know you didn’t mean that I personally ruined star trek.

working out their differences
Did you watch the same episode I did? They didn’t work out anything at all. That was what made it so special.
warmaster@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I don’t agree with you, but have an upvote because done morons are downvoting you not because you are not contributing to an opinion exchange, but just because they think different.
Those downvotes stink of Reddit.
We can be better.

How far do you get into it before you get tired of it? I know you mention that quark and odo on the mountain episode and that’s at least later on.
Personally I like ds9 because it very much was still star trek but managed to show it in a somewhat darker way that felt a little more “realistic” and less of that feeling that everyone lives in utopia. The dominion war towards the end was also very interesting in that they started doing some serialized story telling, something that didn’t really happen in trek or in tv much at all at that point. By today’s standards it is certainly a bit dated, but still, an interesting and different take I thought.
I do also happen to like the characters, which I think is essential for any show. So if you never really liked them, then yea I imagine it wouldn’t be fun to watch.
warmaster@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I don’t remember DS9, so I can’t comment on that. But I do enjoy LD, and I find it as disposable enjoyment. It’s not meaningful, but entertaining. I find it’s enough to be able to enjoy it, in every aspect. It’s not remarkable, but just good all around.
CCatMan@lemmy.one 10 months ago
I enjoy the story arc of DS9, but because is from the time of 25+ episodes a season that there are bound to be a bunch of ones you can skip.
echodot@feddit.uk 10 months ago
Oh, there are absolutely episodes of DS9 that you can just skip.
They get to the Dominion War and interesting stuff happens, and then they’re like nah, let’s have an episode where nothing in it is of any consequence to the overall plot and essentially contributes nothing. Sure there is a civilisation changing war going on, but let’s have some boring interpersonal story that we will never refer back to in later episodes.
