The only fake trekkies are the ones complaining that newer Trek is too political or "woke."

What show did they even watch?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago (3 children)

They're not "too political" or "woke," they're written by terrible committees and the executive producers / show runners are hacks.

Lower Decks (and Prodigy, I'm told) excluded.

Strange New Worlds is fantastic and takes plenty of risks other shows don't.

The best Star Trek show is the one you like the most. If that's Discovery, that's fine. And if you don't like the show, that's also fine. But making an overall declaration that a show is terrible and tacitly expecting everyone to agree is not cool.

Isn't this Han Solo and Chewbacca?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

No, this is Patrick (and perhaps Jonathan?)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

No, I'm pretty sure it's Malcolm Reynolds and Wash.

*Han solo and Quackbacca

I'd sooner caution against gatekeeping.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Agreed. I am very fond of star trek already and i am only 10 episodes into the original series. I believe it will take several months if not year before i get to know the characters in this picture.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Uhhhh that is obviously Laas and Rom.

I'm a real Trekkie. My favorite ships are the USS Prometheus and the MCRN Rocinante.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Good ships.

For those who don't know, that is a picture of odo and quark from Deep Space nine. Quarks name has been deliberately misspelled as Quack.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

They deliberately misspelled Obi too.

Wait, the Doctor had an alien companion at some point? I'm a trekky through and through but I didn't know that

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

It's one of the lost serials.

I'm just cracking up picturing Odo changing into an obo to spy on the visiting Cardassian orchestra

I watched maybe 3-10 Startrek episodes, I didn't see those or most of the people in the memes here.

Still I love this community

quack

Quarks name is misspelled. They should've given him a duck head to make it more obvious

That is because there are many series with each their own characters.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (5 children)

I'm re-watching DS9 for the third time or something, but I've never seen anything released after Voyager except for the Abrams movie travesties. Am I still a Trekkie?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Even those that only played Star Trek Online can consider themselves trekkies.

We don't gatekeep.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I want to know these people who play STo but haven't watched Star Trek. Mainly to study them.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You should consider watching the Lower Decks episode "Hear All, Trust Nothing" if nothing else.

Noooo, you need to watch every episode pay for extra subscription services just to watch every new episode the day it is release.

Honestly anyone can get into star trek if they want to

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Only like 1/4th of the new stuff even has half-decent writing. Only the last season of Picard and the Strange New Worlds or what ever are even good TV, let alone "Star Trek"

I ... guess what I'm saying is, you're not missing much. Stange New Worlds is probably the closest to old trek. The other crap is drama before even plot, let alone drama over intelligence.

My favorite character was always Officer Woof
