I LOVE DS9, I love Rejoined, I love the mirror universe episodes and the mirror versions of the cast, I love the Trill, I love love love Jadzia and Lenara and Intendant Kira and prime Ezri and Mirror Ezri and Mirror Leeta, and yes all the subtext queerness as well.

But I’m not going to pretend it’s somehow better than where we are now.

I mean, it is better than SNW season 3 but that’s an outlier.

A queer he/they black guy plays a sensitive gay Klingon on the current main Star Trek show. We had a Trill character played by an actual trans person who was both trans and a Trill. A pansexual black woman was the main character of a whole show. Thats amazing.

Science officer Klingon propaganda…

"Captain's Log, Stardate 2263.2. Today is our 966th day in deep space, a little under three years into our five-year mission. The more time we spend out here, the harder it is to tell where one day ends and the next one begins. It can be a challenge to feel grounded when even the gravity is artificial. But, well, we do what we can to make it feel like home. The crew, as always, continues to act admirably despite the rigors of our extended stay here in outer space. And the personal sacrifices they have made. We continue to search for new lifeforms in order to establish firm diplomatic ties. Our extended time in uncharted territory has stretched the ship's mechanical capacities. But fortunately our engineering department, led by Mr. Scott, is more than up to the job. The ship aside, prolong cohabitation has definitely had effects on interpersonal dynamics. Some experiences for the better, and some for the worse. As for me, things have started to feel a little... episodic. The farther out we go, the more I find myself wondering what it is we're trying to accomplish. But if the universe is truly endless, then are we not striving for something forever out of reach? The Enterprise is scheduled for reprovisioning stop at Yorktown, the Federation's newest and most advanced Starbase. Perhaps a break from routine will offer up some respite from the mysteries of the unknown."

Happy 10th Anniversary to Star Trek Beyond

Cool. I recommend Star Trek Prodigy.

“So much of NuTrek is too far into the future or too far into the past”

Okay cool… I recommend Prodigy. It starts literally after Voyager ended.

“These new seasons of NuTrek are so short, and their plots move by way too fast”

Again… Prodigy. It’s 20 episodes a season, there are two seasons, that’s 40 episodes! Lots of time to go on hijinks and still have overarching plots.

“These NuTrek shows don’t respect the cannon of Star Trek”

PLEASE… I’m BEGGING YOU… watch Star Trek Prodigy. The writers LOVE the canon of legacy Trek and they’ve worked hard to improve on storylines from the TNG and VOY eras while also added some very deep cuts and references only seasoned Trek fans will catch!
