Star Trek series coming in 2017

[Steelgrave]

Honestly, I couldn't stand Voyager or any of the crew, including Picardo. I loathe Voyager and to this day, it's the only Star Trek series that I never finished watching.

I love you. Steelie.

I never got any further than The Next Generation and I only watched that to see if Worf ever laughed at ANYTHING! Remember the episode where the blond Security Chief got really drunk and screwed Data? Damn, she had to be hard-up. <:-)

[JasonPratt]

She came from a planet where she and her sister had been constantly molested or in danger of it, so she had trouble relating to men intimately. And this was before the days of openly gay characters. (And maybe suggesting lesbianism is a neurosis wouldn't be pc anyway. ;) )

Consequently, she regarded Data as the safest male on board to work out her issues. Except once the inebriation wore off, she couldn't really deal with starting a relationship with him. This led to some interesting romantic angst on his part, although only after she died.

It's too bad Denise decided the crew roster of main characters was too full (certainly true) and wanted to be more of a main character somewhere else -- although to be fair, her decision was technically the correct one since there was almost no way they'd be writing out Worf's character, and if so they'd only have replaced him with another Klingon since fans generally liked the idea. And Yar and Worf were in direct competition for plot relevance. (In so much competition that in the first and only episode primarily focusing on her, Worf simply doesn't show up!)

I've haven't watched the complete series either. I'm almost nearing the end of rewatching DS9 and am half considering trying to watch Voyager after that.

Oh god.

Gene Roddenberry's ghost is coming for you.

[Barthheart]

So.... no other species they meet can say God even if they still have them?

Magee Barrett needs to go bitch slap the writers....  ::)

The author of the article gets it:

I have said that I like bad Star Trek over good other things many times. I like the makeup of this crew, and I like that it's moving away from the captain and avoiding doing another show about ships named Enterprise. I lived through Voyager and Enterprise and did so gleefully. But Discovery is just... weird in its choices. Like, remember how it was so adamant about "breaking" Roddenberry's rule about interpersonal conflict among the crew? Despite the fact that this rule hadn't been enforced for decades? Why adhere to the letter of Roddenberry's religion vision rather than simply the spirit of that rule? Everything, everything about this show confuses me.

[Barthheart]

And it's horseshit too. I'm sure Bones says uses God's name in vain more than a few times during TOS.

True. We'll have to play this:

It even runs contrary to TNG canon in the 24th Century.   Picard sure sounds like religious belief still exists way after this timeframe

They also might want to go back and watch the TOS episode Bread and Circuses where Uhura says a line about "the Son of God".  ::)
