I started watching Strange New Worlds the other week, I’ve really enjoyed the writing! The only other Trek media I’ve seen were the Abrams movies, which were okay I guess. I understand Strange New Worlds is a prequel to the original series, is it worth it to watch the original series after I finish it? Are there any series to avoid?

    Is this fanbase truly so traumatized by each other that I receive multiple comments like this in a thread where there hasn’t really been any argumentation? Really makes me not want to engage with the community if the larger trend is so combative

      Nah, I think it’s more a running joke than anything. Given that it’s a utopian show, we try to follow its example and not to be an infighting bunch of snobs. There’s definitely some polarizing stuff, but every series has its warts and its good points. We strive to honor all viewpoints and get along with everyone… unless they’re Neelix fans.

      it’s a running joke, meant very fondly. We are all aware of the fandom and much healthier, as you should hopefully garner from posts herein.
