See The Thing About Star Trek Is, The Thing That The New Treks Don't Really Get I Think, Is That Star

see the thing about star trek is, the thing that the new treks don't really get i think, is that star trek is fundamentally about asking many different questions. and like sure those questions are philosophical some of the time like "what if the alien slaves like being slaves, should we do something about that?" and "in a universe with so many different life forms, why do we draw the line regarding sentience at artificial life forms?" and stuff, but also fundamentally star trek is about asking "what if you could get pregnant from holding hands and you started growing extra nipples as well" (such is life) and "if a ghost fucked your grandma and your mom and wanted to fuck you, would you fuck him in the name of tradition?" (yes) and "what if the local AI got really into larping and sherlock holmes?" (join him). like its about Having Fun and i cant enjoy a star trek that isnt like that. i dont want a 50 episode arc about the responsibility of captaincy, i want a 40 minute discussion about what it would be like if you were suddenly a lizard thats then never mentioned again.
