Disco and all the other new Trek shows don't actually do proper nav lights like boring lame old trek shows, they just have random blinkies. I think Discovery itself was all red pre refit, can't remember post refit. The only ones that have properly had red port/green starboard/white central is the Enterprise and the Titan, presumably because those were adapted old designs and they just copied the old patterns. Kind of a pity, it was nice having that be consistently done on all Earth and Fed ships for 50 years. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 18:27 on Jan 14, 2022 |

Yeah previous Treks did the "we must include these because they're A Thing in real life, thus making the setting immersive" whereas now they're like "Wait that was A Thing?!? We just thought it looked cool  "

Three episodes into our rewatch of Enterprise (have not seen most since they first aired) and drat, this is much better than I remember. And I was one of the ones that liked it first time around. I think they are really capturing the "humans are totally in way over their heads" dynamic perfectly

Having recently finished rewatching ENT I loved the series, way more than I thought going in. Like the only episode I outright hated was Dear Doctor, which is one of Trek's worst overall, but not even A Night In Sickbay was that bad. Also the change to the op for s3/4 was terrible. It is also bullshit T'pol never got a proper uniform. But overall I absolutely have faith of the heart.

Season two absolutely drags a bit, but overall I really enjoyed watching it and it was great to watch some new-to-me 90's Trek again (even though ENT is very obviously the Post-9/11 Trek, I still count it as belonging to 90's Trek for lack of wanting to call it "the Berman era").

As someone who grew up firmly believing that stars should have wars, not treks, I still don't feel like TOS is "real Trek". It's a combination of being very dated and not fleshing out the world enough I think. It's very character (and plot) driven, but the characters to me just seem exaggerated and flat honestly. Modern Trek is just generic sci-fi with a familiar brand slapped on. It sucks, but in a way that I can binge watch if I feel like it. TOS just can't hold my attention. Probably because they don't have flaming consoles.

Well, TOS was creating the world in which it existed from episode to episode, so I’m not sure I get what you mean. But yeah, it can be pretty dated.

I didn't watch TOS until I was older and the way that I made sense of the two very different takes on science fiction (being from two completely different eras in the genre and in television production), is that TOS is kind of like a misremembered, fanciful story, as imagined by people from the 24th century. Enterprise, as it should, looks like a more accurate record of what "TNG's past" might be like. This whole sensibility gets completely thrown off when Picard goes into a holodeck and the Constitution bridge is there looking like its all plaster and Benjamin Sisko literally goes back in time and picks up a ray gun  lmaoAlso for those of you that can't get into TOS, try watching some Twilight Zone first, and see if that helps. They almost inhabit the same tone because half the time TOS is a loving dreadful nightmare of death. If you're already in the habit of watching TV from the era then idk

I've tried probably a dozen times to get through any number of the "Top Ten Best TOS Episodes" lists and I just fall asleep. Old TV is just so offputting to me in a way I can't describe. I love old movies though.

I just don't relate because I grew up with it and didn't really get into the '90s Trek shows until my college years in the 2000s. Where TOS is primary colors, TNG and DS9 both are more like pastels with a lot of gray.

A lot of it is the pacing. Even the good TOS episodes are 35 minutes of story squeezed into a mere 52 minutes of episode.

TOS is easier to digest if you watch the TOS movies first, and only then go back and watch the series. But yes TOS is cool and good.

The TOS movies are the template for “real” Trek for me. It’s what the Berman era was based on and I love each one in its own way. Yes, even TFF.

They broke the mold on this beautiful Klingon Unicorn. Drone posted:TOS is easier to digest if you watch the TOS movies first, and only then go back and watch the series. Also chiming in that TOS is good and correct. I had the quintessential 80's childhood experience of watching the films on Betamax before I was introduced to the series in re-runs later on. It definitely helped. Penitent fucked around with this message at 22:12 on Jan 15, 2022 |

The local station would cycle between TOS, TNG and DS9 when I got home from kindergarten and I remember being bored to tears on TOS days (and terrified of Odo on DS9 days).
