    Are you forgetting you’re talking about the series where:

    • Humpback whales were a central plot point in one of the movies
    • Dr. Crusher had a sexual relationship with a ghost
    • Paris and Janeway were mutated into lizards, had sex with each other, and gave birth to babies
    • It’s canonical that people need to clean up the bio-filters for holodecks (leave that one to the imagination)
    • Data, a robot, manages to get laid a couple of times
    • Q’s method of testing humanity is basically trolling the entire TNG crew every single time he appears
    • SNW had a literal fantasy episode in S1
    • Fucking James Moriarty from Sherlock Holmes was a recurring villain in TNG enough times to show up in Picard

    Like… my guy, Stark Trek has always had an element of camp and being a goofy-ass series. It has a lot of thoughtful and contemporary dialogue in a lot of the episodes, yes, but you can’t say stuff like the SNWxLD crossover (which, as somebody who has never watched LD and grew up with TNG & DS9, I thought was pretty good) and the next couple of episodes are straying from Star Trek as a whole. Why do you think a lot of Trek fans would consider GalaxyQuest as an honorable Star Trek film?

      When Galaxy Quest came out, Wil Wheaton called Patrick Stewart and told him to go to the theater and see “the best Star Trek movie ever made.”
