Couldn't find any threads on this yet so:



Looks like some of the Jem'Hadar have been hitting the replicators a little too hard:

But at least we have these gems:

Picard wasn't enough...

Looks like dogshit, I wish nothing but suffering and misery to the people who did this to Star Trek.

This literary genius's life's work is to destroy everything he touches. There aren't enough photon torpedoes in the Federation to match the damage Kurtzman, Abrams, and the rest of those idiots have inflicted on us and on the franchises we once loved.

So an unexpected side effect of kicking ketracel-white is that you become female and fat.

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

please stop

You can feel the worldview of the people behind it, saturating every frame. I can already hear the fortune-cookie dialogue and cheap emotionally saturated cryfests; can already predict every scene's cast, where if it's a brilliant engineer it'll be a female & if it's a barista or something it'll be male, because reversing human norms is their religion; can already see the lack of adulthood in every character, everyone will quip and act like bad buffy or marvel characters and the mature crew members of something like TNG are impossible to even transplant into these scenes.

absolute nightmare, no one involved in recent Trek should ever make content of any kind again (Kurtzman's co-writer for Picard & co-creator for Strange New Worlds was the screenwriter for Batman & Robin and for 1998's Lost in Space... quite truly one of the worst minds in the entire history of film). In a sane world they'd all be unemployed.

I didn't even need to watch the trailer to know it looks shit.

More NuTrek vomit. Star Trek as a TV show died somewhere during Voyager's run. I gave Enterprise multiple chances on the strength of its cast but it was the beginning of the end. The stupid temporal war story line basically paved the way for all the NuTrek crap that's come out all these years later.

The people behind Trek these days seem to want to make anything but Star Trek. The only modern Trek show that I actually liked was the damn kids cartoon they had on Nickelodeon, Star Trek Prodigy. At least it tried to stick to old Trek ethos, even if it copied a few notes from Voyager itself.

 

[Vyse]

So sad. One of my favorite franchises. Hopefully the new merger will stop this madness.

Enterprise was much better than almost all nu trek (Strange new worlds is pretty fantastic).

 

[Trunx81]

Can´t wait for the lines "Starfleet Academy is a safe space for everyone" and "chaH jIH'e'. yIlo'."

Spoiler

Klingon for "They is what I am. Use it.", the equivalent for "My pronouns are they/them"

 

[Fermbiz]

I cannot stand modern Star Trek... Picard made me have such a raging hate t for modern Star Trek that i gave up on it.

 

[Kenpachii]

Yea looks like shit

120 years from the last graduation and they got...

such a diverse class!!!

I still remember when Trekies were berating over the internet when JJ Abrams got the franchise...

 

[StreetsofBeige]

I'm not a ST fan. I've seen most of the movies and remember watching some ST TNG episodes back in the day sitting with my bro who loved it.... I got to admit anytime I saw a Q episode where the guy is dicking around making Patrick Stewart get frazzled were good episodes. And 1980s Wrath of Khan is a straight up excellent movie.

My reaction to the trailer as a nobody is it looked fine to me.

BUT, I can definitely see some potential junkiness even though that trailer tried to make it epic and serious. No different than most superhero trailers.....

..... the real content will be full of lame jokes. And since this ST show is skewed to a young cast, I dont see the plots being heavy into traditional ST content where an older cast who are veteran Starfleet explorers take on planetary adventures.

It'll probably be filled with tons of college kid kind of plots, where there's some space adventures but also Dawson's Creek home life drama.

 

[The Cockatrice]

when Trekies

to be fair Trekkies are now They/Themkkies now, so the franchise suits them.

 

[Facism]

But there are supposed to be no Jem'Hadar women?

also how is she fat? These fuckers don't eat or drink.

JJ murdered Trek, kurtzman just been fucking the corpse.

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

There seemed to be not many fat people on Star trek for the obvious reasons in the future the medical side of tech took care of that.

Why so many fats?

What's with the fucking lensflare in trek just everything is fucking bright.

 

[AJUMP23]

This looks terrible.

Reference to Sisko cool. Character doing solo hip hop dance in the idealized future.....What are they doing.

Reference to Sisko is definitively NOT COOL!
Leave our Sisko alone
They already destroyed Picard

 

[DeafTourette]

This is set almost 1000 years in the future from Kirk's time. A LOT has changed but some things stay the same.

Yes, it's bright. They're on Earth. Starfleet Academy is in San Francisco on Earth. It's always been that way.

The J'em Hadar woman is half Klingon

The cheerful black young lady is an artificial intelligence hologram like The Doctor (who's back in this show)

I feel like some of y'all didn't really watch Star Trek or aren't actually fans.

I'm willing to give this a try

 

[jason10mm]

Good, someone did it

This has the same weird visuals/camera work I DETEST in Discovery. And it looks to be heavily "character relationship" focused instead of episodic and objective focused. So even more of what I don't want in Trek. SNW is about as far over in that direction as I can take. None of the characters are particularly interesting looking as well. Even stacking the cast with Holly Hunter, Paul Giamatti, Tatiana Maslani, and Oded Fehr ain't gonna help because all the new characters are the most punchable smug mofos I've ever seen.

 

[AJUMP23]

Well yes they will destroy Sisko. I think that is how their story making goes. What can we dig up from the past stories to exploit for ratings.

Important question: Will there be twerking?

They/Them'Hadar

If you haven't already, check out Lower Decks. It's honestly the most Trek-like NuTrek thing that exists, so of course it gets cancelled.

Strange New Worlds is already cancelled. Its 5th season will be its last.

It had a 5 year run, ended on top.

True, but still feels like it was too soon. Would have loved to see seven seasons so it could join the cool kids club with TNG, DS9, and Voyager.

I hope they put out little runs of that show from time to time. Its the perfect place for all the memberberry stuff they keep injecting into much more expensive Trek shows that would be better off just boldly going forward instead of CONSTANTLY looking back. Plus it has that beautiful TNG+ design aesthetic that is peak Star Trek to me.

 

[Dr.D00p]

Vomit inducing.
