to my mind, The Doctor is more of an LLM That borrows from example and is effectively emulating a human, Whereas Data is a ground up implementation of a system with the scale and sophistication of a human.

I gave up on Star Trek during Picard Season 2 so maybe something has changed but from the trailer I saw it seems no lessons were learned and it clearly would just be rage bait for me to watch. Having said that, I think there’s age and demographic differences where what I dislike might appeal to others so your milage may vary. Suffice to say it doesn’t seem like a return to form, so I’ll respectfully pass.

They could try setting their future space Sci-fi in the universe‘s present day instead of yet another prequel or far future slop. Please just make Star Trek again!

I think the difference was supposed to be that Holograms are basically NPCs with software that can convincingly pass a Turing test, but there really isn’t any light behind the eyes. Androids are actually sentient, and their personality and emotional states are extensions of that sentience.

One of the implied questions of Voyager, at least to my mind, is if that distinction makes a difference? Especially in S1, it was clear that The Doctor wasn’t respected by the crew because everyone knew intellectually that he was just a chatbot.

I bet the inclusion of “bio-neural circuitry” in Voyager was initially intended to give some meat to the claim that he’s more than just software, but they never went anywhere with that. By the end of the series, it was pretty much settled that The Doctor had personhood. Star Trek’s implicit stance on the matter of ‘should you give a being rights’ is if it quacks like a duck, treat it like a duck.

They’ll just give you 26 episodes of save the universe (See: Xindi arch), I just wish they’d just tell one complete story per episode for a while. That’s the original formula, stop trying to make Michael Burnham happen, just go back to the classic formula where everything resets at the end. Please god.

It’s hard to say. Personally, I think the Roddenberry formula was paramount to getting the feel of Star Trek right, but I think Trek is at its best when it’s a bit more self-aware. DS9 is probably my favorite series in all, but that’s because it took tropes defined in TNG (which is a seminal TV series, generally, to my mind) and tested them on a regular basis. I find that kind of departure very compelling.

Bridge Crew is a wonderful experience, the best ST game around

The further you get into TNG the better it gets

MB is a bad character and feels out of place in Star Trek because she’s the exact kind of character we never needed before. It’s obvious why the actor was hired, she’s incredible and has a wide range of emotion. I think they thought that her talent would carry the show, and on some level it does, but kung-fu, crying theatrics, and the need for one hero to solve every situation - these just aren’t suppoed to be Trek tropes.

Poor guy, if you haven’t seen SG-1 yet then at least you have another 10 seasons of content that’ll give you that TNG/DS9 feeling.

Disco’s an exception, I see no distinction in quality between the first seasons and three.

As someone on Facebook said when I critiqued Disco, it’s cool if you don’t like it as long as you don’t try and ruin it for those who do. That’s basically my approach, I’ve loved enough Trek to know that I don’t like Disco, and I suppose a silver lining is that it can be a gateway drug to the rest of the franchise. It doesn’t really matter, 90’s Trek stands on it’s own so Picard and Disco can’t really tarnish it.

This is a total gem, probably the best Trek commercial I’ve seen. Nice little cherry on top that it’s selling something so thoroughly obsolete as a land-line based long distance plan.

Season 1 of ENT has some great episodes, if you can sit through seven seasons of Voyager for one or two gems, you can definitely watch ENT which has more great episodes than bad ones.

Go ahead and bring it up, if you like it and your talking about your likes, what’s wrong with it? If she hears Trek and wants to bail you weren’t going to like her anyways. Just don’t talk about any of your dumb hobbies too much, whatever you talk about she should enjoy the conversation.
