    I: Am just not interested in

    Star Trek:

    • Discovery
    • SNW

    Unspecified (specify): They’re prequels.

    I already imagined the backstories for the shows I’ve seen… are you not supposed to? A prequel isn’t going to ever line up to how I imagined the backstory (how could it, everyone has a different imagination) so there’s always going to be dissonance with a prequel. Not that I hate these shows, just not interested in them.

    Make Star Trek Legacy and move the story forward pls, thx.

        Yeah well Discovery totally messes with the established timeline. They have a ship that’s more advanced than anything we’ve ever seen on screen before and yet, it’s pre TNG, eh?

        It’s not that I don’t like the writing, or the characters, but the least (literally the very least) they could do is have a bit of respect for the source material.

      In my mind Strange New Worlds is in a parallel universe. Not the mirror universe, or the Kelvin universe, but another another universe.

      But I want to go back to DS9 darn it. I want to know how that all ends.

      SNW is so good I’d sooner toss TOS if forced to choose (which I’m not). The musical episode is vastly better than Turnabout: Intruder.

      Don’t you also imagine future developments of the stories you enjoy? I’m already imagining what Starfleet Academy is going to give us, doesn’t matter if it’s a prequel or not. I just have to set my imagined version aside when the actual show airs.
