Justice for Jadzia!
And for Chakotay’s arc, and for Voyager’s storylines in general, and for the time he wouldn’t let actual trans actors play in the TNG episode that was about trans folk, and for making nearly all the ladies wear skintight everything with corsets, and for…
he wouldn’t let actual trans actors play in the TNG episode that was about trans folk

The Mitch McConnell of Star Trek … he just won’t die or leave or give up office or just go away
Mitch McConnell is no longer the Senate Majority Leader and is retiring at the end of his term.
The lich has moved to a new host.
Between the shit he had caused and the drek that is nu-trek, I’ve gotten lb to the point where I feel him to be almost a lesser evil.
What do you mean by “nu-trek”?
NuTrek is a term that is commonly used in a derogatory fashion about anything Star Trek made after the last Kelvin movie. Often while saying at the same time that it is either “Bad Star Trek” or the typical whiny gatekeeping nonsense of “It’s not Real Trek/Doesn’t understand Trek”, as if they somehow are the only ones who do.
Star Trek fans have a habit of screeching at the top of their lungs whenever anything new is added before gradually calming down and accepting it. People lost their mind over TNG, over DS9, over VOY, over ENT and over the Kelvin movies and now even the Kelvin movies are being looked back on more fondly.
Protip: If anyone ever dismisses the entirety of Newer Trek like this user just did? You can pretty safely dismiss them yourself because they just threw out 5 entire shows (and maybe 4 movies) while generalizing them all.
Also dude is just straight up arguing that Rick Berman, the guy who hated a woman so much the only way he’d allow her to continue being on the show was if he got to canonically write in that her original character was raped to death is “a lesser evil” because he doesn’t like the new shows.
Just let that sink in. The people who blindly hate the newer Trek shows are so psychotically unhinged they’re now like “Yeah, but the dude who abused everyone who worked for him is a lesser evil because I don’t like the new shows.”
I have less than zero respect for these people.
I appreciate your thoughtful and detailed response.
I was doing the "why grandpa, what do you mean by “those people” thing to bait them into some self-reflection, but I’m not sure it would have made a difference anyway.
Still alive at 78
Wait… How many years has the dude been 78? 🤔
Well you know what they say…only the good die young
Rick Berman: I can’t die, I’ve still got Star Trek to ruin!
Hasn’t he run all trek since TOS?
His involvement ended after Enterprise. From there, we’ve had JJ’s stooge Alex Kurtzman. Kinda wish he’d drop out and inject Trek with some new blood. We’ll see how Tawny Newsome does as a writer/producer for Academy.
I’ve no doubt in Tawny’s abilities, but I do doubt she’ll have enough power to prevent meddling.
I love tawny, hope it goes well
Maybe he just needs to ruin one more series before he can die.
Every Star Trek series he ruins adds another five years onto his life
He lives each day like it’s his last (…day to ruin Star Trek)
No, he was hired as a producer for TNG, then became Executive Producer when Gene died. He left the franchise after Enterprise ended.
At first I only saw the first two lines and I wasn’t sure, but after reading the title I already knew where this was going. Thoughts and prayers.
What is it with Rick’s?
Rick C-137 is a bit shady.
Astley seems fine
Come to my creepy basement
