Haven’t watched any new Star Trek. Loved TOS through Enterprise and only recently started getting the books. Amazing they put someone in charge who attacks fans and doesn’t seem to care about Star Trek. Well I guess that’s normal now
Lower Decks has been the most Trek thing going at the moment. That's where all the writers who cared went, I think.
The first episode did irk me, though. Redoing the whole "Officer and its Kid" dynamic is tired enough, but anyone who doesn't understand that whether something is "farm equipment" or "weaponry" is entirely in how it's being used at the moment and declares how much they "hate authority" should never have graduated Starfleet Academy in the first place. Show gets better from there, though, esp. from the second season on.
Good to hear. I know they are doing an academy show. I saw the animation for Lower Decks and assumed it was current year stuff. Thanks for setting me straight. Have you read any Trek books? I’ve been reading Star Wars EU since age 12 but never thought about Trek books or comics til I was at a comic convention and a guy was selling old Trek books for a quarter and I spent like 60 bucks.
It's been a while, but yeah, I did do a binge read of a bunch of mostly TNG books, especially Diane Duane (at least she tended to remember the cat folk existed). But that was years and years ago now.
