1. Star Trek died 17 years ago. What ever this husk is that remains…

   1. Same went with ‘Queer Wars’ in no real direction of the story plot just adding more new technology of special effects but adding more widgets and weird shit.

   2. Only 17?

      High quality Star Trek ended with Deep Space 9, and that concluded its run in 1999.

      The first reboot film was decent, the next two not so much, and all of the post DS9 series have ranged from mediocre to trash, as did the post-First Contact TNG movies. The one possible exception is Lower Decks since it’s animated and doesn’t take itself too seriously.

      1. Granted they got worse as each series came about. TOS and some of TNG are my favourites. But compared to the absolute woke crap being produced today, even Voyager and Enterprise appear like DaVincian works of art next to them.

         1. YIKES!

            Voyager was a wasted premise. Enterprise was alright but not perfect.

            This crap now is just beyond caring.

   3. 30 years ago when Gene Roddenberry died.

2. I knew Star Trek had turned awful awful lately, but this is even worse than I imagined, directly referencing present politics.

   Law and Order (the original series, not any of the spinoffs) came back recently, so it was worth giving it a try. Well, the stories in the new episodes are political and the writing is horrendously bad. One of the earliest (title was Free Speech, or something like that) had a conservative broadcaster/podcaster supposedly egging on followers, and one of them murders an activist by pushing them in front of a bus. After the guy who did the killing commits suicide in jail, they decide to prosecute the “conservative patriot.” One of the ADAs comments that “if we can convict this guy then maybe that means we can convict Trump for the murders that happened on January 6th.”
   The old Law and Order had interesting plot twists, and the first guy they bring in is never the real perpetrator. The murders that happened on the show were believable because they were plausible motives like killing a wife or husband, or killing for money. There are hardly any murders with a political motive.

3. The failure to prevent the illegal overthrow of Donald Trump in favour of people more eager to go along with genocidal warfare against a nuclear power may yet prove the undoing of mankind.

   So the Star Trek script writers were only wrong about the happy ending.

4. Little off topic but hugely interesting.

   Dineesh D’Souza released his documentary on election fraud. You can watch it here for free. The media is trying to censor this and to question the methodology.

   True the Vote, the organization who did the research for the film is going to release all of their findings and raw data to the public. This includes the names and addresses of the Democratic party “stash houses” where the “mules” got the illegally harvested ballots to stuff into drop boxes in the middle of the night.

   Worth a look!

   1. Watched it last night. Highly recommend.

      1. Warren,

         A couple of “fact checking” organizations have tried to shoot down the film. Some of their claims are amusing. Here’s how they responded to the film evidence where the “mules” took pictures of the ballots they were stuffing in order to get paid:

         “In a similarly speculative allegation, the film claims its supposed “mules” took photographs of ballots before they dropped them into drop boxes in order to get paid. But across the U.S., voters frequently take photos of their ballot envelopes before submitting them.”

         I wonder where they got the evidence that it is routine for people to photograph bunches of ballots before stuffing them into the box? They are really reaching!

         1. You better believe they’re going to come up with a million and one excuses. They even predict a few that they might come up with at the end of the video.The one thing I wish the documentary did was show a mule on video at various locations dropping off ballots.

            1. I think the problem is that many jurisdictions either failed to follow their own law regarding video surveillance and/or refused to release the evidence. They got relatively little useful video.

               All it will take is for one actual criminal investigation to take place. To get there, the people resisting investigations have to fear their political future. This seems to be happening in Georgia, Arizona and Wisconsin. Candidates favouring a look into the 2020 election seem to be gaining momentum.

5. Star Trek died over 50 years ago, with TOS.
   TNG replaced the bar-brawling, womanizing sailors of TOS with grey, PC, mid-level corporate management types.
   “Synthahol” Eff off. Oh, and Patrick Stewart is an ahole.

6. Favourite Star Trek line. “We have no need for gods. We find the one quite adequate.” From “Who Mourns For Adonais”.
   Today’s so called “Star Trek” wouldn’t be caught dead uttering lines like that.

7. As a trekkie, the Orig Series was golden.
   As for follow up series…the only one with ANY merit IMO, was Enterprise.
   TNG was already “woke” & lacking any Testosterone whatsoever, DS9 was BORING As shit, and Voyageur was just OK…but not great.
