The only fake trekkies are the ones complaining that newer Trek is too political or "woke."
What show did they even watch?
They're not "too political" or "woke," they're written by terrible committees and the executive producers / show runners are hacks.
Lower Decks (and Prodigy, I'm told) excluded.
Strange New Worlds is fantastic and takes plenty of risks other shows don't.
It’s a little little hit or miss. I really liked some of it, but some of the early stuff wasn’t so great.
So it really is Star Trek, then. :P
People like to forget how many shit episodes of every series there are.
You're not wrong...
The best Star Trek show is the one you like the most. If that's Discovery, that's fine. And if you don't like the show, that's also fine. But making an overall declaration that a show is terrible and tacitly expecting everyone to agree is not cool.
I'm not expecting everyone agree whether or telling anyone whether or not they should or shouldn't like it, but there are many more demonstrable issues with writing and plotting, let alone canon, that exist in excess throughout Discovery, Picard, and SNW. These are objective issues that actual writers have taken issue with, and they're consistent issues with the executive producers involved.
Absolutely TNG or DS9 aren't some pantheon of perfection, but from an overall standpoint of consistency, narrative continuity, and proper handling of characters and their development? They're lightyears beyond the juvenile handling of characters and plots in the post 09 FMV shows. It's just fact.
Isn't this Han Solo and Chewbacca?
No, this is Patrick (and perhaps Jonathan?)
No, I'm pretty sure it's Malcolm Reynolds and Wash.
For those who don't know, that is a picture of odo and quark from Deep Space nine. Quarks name has been deliberately misspelled as Quack.
They deliberately misspelled Obi too.
Uhhhh that is obviously Laas and Rom.
Data and Neelix
It's pronounced Netflix you dummy
~~Netflix~~Neelix and chill ;)
Next trend? Sexy pictures of Neelix.
I'd sooner caution against gatekeeping.
It is an insane leap to call this gatekeeping when it's actively making fun of gatekeeping. If the line ended with Odo/Quark, sure, but it doesn't. The name is misspelled. Directly making fun of people who claim to be gatekeepers while knowing nothing about what they're talking about.
Ensign, the joke still is about gatekeeping, so we are allowed to complain about anyone gatekeeping in this comment section.
Now go polish the phase inverters.
Agreed. I am very fond of star trek already and i am only 10 episodes into the original series. I believe it will take several months if not year before i get to know the characters in this picture.
I'm a real Trekkie. My favorite ships are the USS Prometheus and the MCRN Rocinante.
Good ships.
Wait, the Doctor had an alien companion at some point? I'm a trekky through and through but I didn't know that
It's one of the lost serials.
I'm just cracking up picturing Odo changing into an obo to spy on the visiting Cardassian orchestra
* Oboe.
I watched maybe 3-10 Startrek episodes, I didn't see those or most of the people in the memes here.
Still I love this community
Quarks name is misspelled. They should've given him a duck head to make it more obvious
That is because there are many series with each their own characters.
I'm re-watching DS9 for the third time or something, but I've never seen anything released after Voyager except for the Abrams movie travesties. Am I still a Trekkie?
Even those that only played Star Trek Online can consider themselves trekkies.
We don't gatekeep.
I want to know these people who play STo but haven't watched Star Trek. Mainly to study them.
You should consider watching the Lower Decks episode "Hear All, Trust Nothing" if nothing else.
Noooo, you need to watch every episode pay for extra subscription services just to watch every new episode the day it is release.
Honestly anyone can get into star trek if they want to
Yes
Only like 1/4th of the new stuff even has half-decent writing. Only the last season of Picard and the Strange New Worlds or what ever are even good TV, let alone "Star Trek"
I ... guess what I'm saying is, you're not missing much. Stange New Worlds is probably the closest to old trek. The other crap is drama before even plot, let alone drama over intelligence.
My favorite character was always Officer Woof
Star Trek memes and shitposts
Come on'n get your jamaharon on! There are no real rules—just don't break the weather control network.
