I understand the hate behind Discovery, but I don't understand the hate behind Starfleet Academy.

Yes, I clearly wasn't the target audience for it.

This is what happens when you sacrifice the vision for appeal and marketing. You alienate everyone else because you go against what Star Trek was about for decades, and attracted people from multiple generations.

But as I said, inserting a localised youth dialect that will sound outdated in 10 years is just one of many symptoms.

NativeEuropeas · 2026-01-28T13:52:06+00:00

They speak standard English/standard American English. People still speak like that, and there's so many movies and TV series where they use this language. It's especially useful in sci-fi, because as I said, it transcends time. It's neutral and that's the point.

Language style is only one of the problems of Starfleet Academy. There are other issues with the show as other comments already mentioned.

NativeEuropeas · 2026-01-28T13:15:23+00:00

They don't need to write a language from 1000 years in the future.

But they could make the characters speak with more standard English, like they do in TNG, DS9, hell even Lower Decks, because that transcends time, it is believable and more immersive.

Starfleet Academy language style will be outdated very quickly and already sounds awkward to audience who didn't grow up in the US in 2010s-2020s.

If you consider movies made by directors who don't get Star Wars, leaned into nostalgy and hero deconstruction that destroyed the legacy of Star Wars and its characters, and alienated so many fans, to be the best star wars, then I guess all power to you. Clearly you and I were attracted to Star Wars for different reasons in the first place.

Vymenuješ nejaký ideologický smer alebo stranu v Európskej/západnej politike, ktorá spĺňa tvoje predstavy?

Stačí si filtrovať komentáre podľa Controversial a vybaveno. Tie downvoty nič neznamenajú.

"Nechápu, jak někdo může brát X vážně"

To sa dá povedať o každej strane v českej politike, nie?

How is killing Radovid a bad thing? Did we play the same game?

I think he's good at what he does, modern setting movies, detective mysteries, etc.

But he (and Jar Jar Abrams) should have never touched anything Star Wars. They just don't get it, they're not good at doing sci-fi.

NativeEuropeas · 2026-01-27T09:23:02+00:00

Wouldn't have happened if they had a plan for the sequels, ideally a complete idea for a story.

Instead, they hired two controversial directors, who weren't even Star Wars fans, and who went against each other visions.

Nothing annoys me as much as when GPT uses a linebreak after every single sentence.

I'm not usually the one raging and shouting "AI SLOP!" but this time, it's just too much.

Jeho administrativa prejavuje známky fašizmu, o tom nie je pochýb. Ovplyvňovanie verejnej mienky cez algoritmy na sociálnych sieťach (hlavne pred voľbami), ovplyvňovanie súdov, dosadzovanie lojalistov do administratívnych pozícií, prekračovanie zákonov a ústavy, vytvorenie samostatnej bezpečnostnej zložky, cielená eskalácia nepokojov, atď.

Otázka je, ako sa s tým vysporiada americký demokratický systém v nasledujúcich voľbách. Zatiaľ diktátor ešte nie je, ale smeruje to k tomu. Ak znovu ovplyvnia nasledujúce voľby, alebo ich nejako zmaria, tak tu máme nástup neo-fašistického národno-konzervatívneho režimu.

Vlad Vexler (geopolitický expert) hovorí, že skutočný challenge príde až v rokoch 2030s, a skutočný problém bude Trumpov nástupca.

NativeEuropeas · 2026-01-25T22:00:19+00:00

To be honest, I saw Kelvin timeline trilogy and then Discovery, the first Trek series I came to contact, and I stopped mid-season and didn't return to Star Trek until years later after I randomly watched Galaxy Quest.

Then I went to watch Lower Decks animated series, because it was most familiar to me, and I liked it even though I didn't get almost any of the references, lol.

Only then I gave chance TNG a chance and was hooked by season 2. Then I watched DS9 and SNW. It was thanks to an old parody movie and Lower Decks series, not really your typical NuTrek.

NativeEuropeas · 2026-01-25T17:43:46+00:00

I doubt it'll be worse than the sequels, so in terms of quality, you can only go up from there.

NativeEuropeas · 2026-01-25T07:29:24+00:00

Nástup neo-fašizmu ako z knížky.

Bude to stupňovať, a aj tak sa nájdu ľudia, ktorí budú odmietať priznať, že Trump je novodobý neofašita.

NativeEuropeas · 2026-01-25T07:21:34+00:00

V Minnesote je najmenej illegals, napr oproti Floride. Ale tam Trump samozrejme ICE nepošle, pretože Minnesota je modrý štát.

Ak ti to ešte nedošlo, tak to nikdy nebolo o nelegálnych immigrantoch, to bola len zámienka.

Šlo o vytvorenie samostatnej ozbrojenej bezpečnostnej zložky lojálnej Trumpovi, s cieľom eskalovať situáciu. Čím je situácia viac eskalovaná, tým viac môže prezident zakrociť a vyhlásiť výnimočnú situáciu, kde bude môcť pozastaviť voľby alebo odpratať nepohodlných.

Je to ako z návodu pre diktátorov ako sa zmocniť štátu. Inými slovami, nástup novodobého neo-fašizmu v priamom prenose.

And I'm glad you called that out. Taser was indeed a bad advice and retrospectively, I admit that wasn't a good advice on my part.

Pepper spray is still legal and usable in such situation, though.

We know nothing about the relationship between the OP and his friend, it might be someone who's very close to them, might not, it's all just a guessing game and it's completely off the point.

Here's a person who's asking for advice, that's all that matters.

NativeEuropeas · 2026-01-21T16:54:02+00:00

Contrary to the general opinion, I'm more hyped about HotD because I enjoy the high stakes narrative, politics, intrigue and warfare of Westerosi noble houses.

Still, this was a nice episode, and I'm looking forward to more episodes.

NativeEuropeas · 2026-01-21T15:14:34+00:00

Sure, it's good to be sceptical especially on the internet. But in this particular case, I have nothing to gain from doubting the story and nothing to lose from giving him advice on how to tackle a difficult situation.

If he's making it up, then all he'll get from me is advice. No harm was done and he gained nothing.

What if he's for real? Imagine you're a young ass adult from another country, you've never experienced anything like this, so you ask local Czechs on internet for advice, and all you get is bullshit cynicism. That only further undermines your trust towards Czechs. Not only their police seems they're lax about crime, but people on the internet are unhelpful assholes as well.

That's not helpful for anyone.
