Welcome to a Star Trek community where you’re free to chat and share your opinions about all things Trek!

I want to have a place where fans can come to praise, discuss, and even criticise things in the Star Trek franchise. No show or movie is perfect, and I don't believe people should be silenced for having a dissenting opinion. That being said, there are still a few rules.

Be Nice - No personal attacks. You can disagree with someone's opinion, but it needs to stop there.

No Slurs - This is applicable to ethnicity, religion, gender, or anything else.

No Adult Content - Keep it family friendly.

No Spamming or Trolling - Consistently spamming comments or trolling is just not needed.

Please keep topics Trek related or Trek adjacent for the most part, and have fun!

We've now started the final season of Lower Decks. If you've seen them, what are your thoughts on these episodes?

I'm looking forward to the new season! I've really enjoyed the show so far.

I know it's an overused question in a lot of places, but it hasn't been asked here in quite a while. I'm curious to see what the preferred Star Trek shows are in the group here. Whether you want to just list your favorite show, do a complete ranking of all the shows, or something in between, I'm interested to know!

This is my current top five show list:

  • Deep Space Nine
  • Star Trek
  • Strange New Worlds
  • The Next Generation
  • Lower Decks

It gets difficult for me to rank past that point, so I usually stop there.

I finally decided to order a box of the Strange New Worlds trading cards, and they just showed up today! I always enjoyed opening packs of baseball cards, so it was a lot of fun seeing what all I got.

These are the five "extra special" cards I got, and I also had around 10 other non base set cards in the box as well.

I don't know if I'll buy another box or not, but I would like to get some autograph cards of the main cast. I know trading cards aren't worth it to many people, but I get a lot of enjoyment out of things like this!

I bought the BlueBrixx Enterprise model a little while back, and I was waiting until today to put it together! So I'm going to do that and probably watch an episode or two of something. Maybe the 25th anniversary episodes.

Have you watched any Star Trek since last week? I'm thinking of doing a weekly post like this where people can drop the Star Trek shows, movies, or print media that they've consumed in the past week, as well as their thoughts on them.

Hello everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself as the new moderator of the community and give a general idea of what I'm hoping to do. Demigodrick was looking for someone to take over and I figured I would give it my best shot!

I've been a Star Trek fan since I was around 12 or 13, and I've watched quite a bit of it in the intervening years!

This is my current top five show list:

  • 1 - Deep Space Nine
  • 2 - Star Trek
  • 3 - Strange New Worlds
  • 4 - The Next Generation
  • 5 - Lower Decks

I like to collect models of the various ships, and I have a few other collectibles as well.

Over the next couple of days I'll be making some adjustments as I try to get things up and running again. I'm thinking of trying a weekly post asking what episodes people are watching and maybe another one or two depending on the engagement. Is there anything that you would like to see here? I'm hoping to revive the community and make it an interesting place!

We’re still a little over 3 weeks before the final season of Discovery starts streaming and some early impressions are starting to appear online.

Not unsurprisingly but still a little worryingly the reviews seem to be saying season 5 isn’t as strong as season 4 was.

Season 4 wasn’t just bad, it was utterly abysmal and season 5 could somehow be worse.

It is worth noting these impressions are only based on the first 4 episodes but session 4 didn’t manage to improve after episode 4 and I doubt season 5 will too.

IGN, who loved the first 4 seasons claim season 5 is on course to stick the landing based on the first 4 episodes.

Does it count as sticking the landing if the show has so far spent its entire run stumbling from badly written episodes, to wasting perfectly good ideas, completely ignoring the source material, going out of its way to antagonise its target audience and has the worst character development in television history?

Discovery is just a mouthpiece for Alex Kurtzmans political agenda and is so far removed from Roddenberry’s vision for Star Trek it has absolutely no business being called Star Trek.

At least once it’s finally finished we can all put the disgrace that has been Star Trek Discovery behind us and start the process of healing.

And if I see Sonequa Martin-Green puts on another display of painful and awkward overacted crying one more time I might just throw a heavy object through my TV.

Are you looking forward to season 5 of Discovery or are you just relieved it’s ending?

Do you recommend watching Start Trek in chronological or release date order?

It’s quite possibly the best looking ship ever seen on-screen.

Not to mention one of the most influential ships in the history of the Federation.

How is it that they gave us an Asian Terran Emperor in Discovery and DIDN’T make her a descendant of Empress Hoshi Sato?

In all likelihood she is Hoshi’s granddaughter (in my head-canon anyway) and everytime Emperor Georgiou was on-screen I was waiting for a mention of Hoshi.

I’m also surprised we have never gotten an official origin story for the Terran Empire given how much screen time they’ve given the alternate universe in DS9 and Discovery. It’s the one thing that actually pisses me off about DS9, they got rid of the Empire.

Is it simply the Roman Empire never fell in that universe?

I hope we see more of the Terrans in Discovery Season 5 but it will probably be kept for the Section 31 movie.

Say what you will about Discovery but the ship is amazing.

At least until Season 3. I HATE those detached nacelles.
