I had a guy reply to my 8 year old post once, seemed legit

Sometimes people revive ghost threads from google searches.

Even worse than bus factor, it’s really easy to compromise when no one double checks your work:

I’m mainly responding to your quote about new things being against the established order and my view of NuTrek is extremely biased since I mainly get my information from RedLetterMedia but do you think NuTrek ackchyually can sit on its own laurels?

I did watch Picard’s 3 seasons and I think it highlighted pretty well the problems with NuTrek:

• retconning established lore to the extreme (slavery vis a vis androids is cool with the federation, earth has super drug problems)
• gratuitous violence (I was disgusted watching the equivalent of SAW with the Borg torture porn)
• action action action (can’t have any philosophy, gotta have fast paced machinegun phaser shootouts)

I could probably come up with more issues, but it’s been a bit and I’m never rewatching Picard. NuTrek is a far cry from the old thinking man’s trek and is really watered down.
