Don't count on the Deep Space Nine star angling for a Star Trek: O'Brien any time soon.

Please just let the past stay in the past. Make new things! Come up with original ideas!

No shit.

I’m so tired of every project being built on nostalgia.

Strange New Worlds is so close to what I want from new Trek. I want that show, but on a new ship and a new crew set post-DS9.

This is what Picard S1&2 were but everyone vocally hated it. Good writing has nothing to do with setting.

No it wasn’t. It was another show built on nostalgia, which I specifically mentioned being tired of.

I did enjoy season 3 though.

Have fun arguing with yourself lmoa

You’re working really hard to misunderstand me.

People are allowed opinions, dude.

Here’s a tip if you actually want to have a discussion: ask why people feel the way they do about something instead of telling them they’re wrong for it.

So what you want is Star Trek that...had nothing to do with Star Trek, because literally anything using the title, concept, or characters will be, by definition, "built on nostalgia." Got it.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

🙄

I literally described what I would like from new trek. Have fun arguing with yourself.

[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And how would that be nostalgia-free?
