I've been a Star Trek fan since my childhood in the 70s. I've seen every episode of the original series and TNG a gazillion times (not so much other spin-offs).
Lately I've been watching "Star Trek Strange News Worlds" on Paramount+ and OMFG it is AWESOME. I love it!
Anyone else blown away by this incredible reboot?

I am also a long time fan (no longer have my stuffed Tribble, though :-) ) but haven’t seen the new series. One of my besties has been watching and loves it and also recommended it, so I may have to subscribe for a limited period to Paramount+ to check it out.
thanks for the recommendation!

I am currently on a quest to watch or rewatch all of the Marvel movies I need to watch to properly watch the new avengers movie 🍿 so currently just have Disney plus. But.. might have to get Paramount +
Snipets that I have seen look binge worthy tho!!
The Spock is so "Spock’s"!! I love it!!

I grew up with a couple of Trekkie family members, so it was a part of my childhood -- TNG and DS9 were always on the tv, they took us to see several movies, we got all sorts of Star Trek actions figures and toys as gifts when we were kids...
I haven't seen this show yet, but recently watched all three seasons of Star Trek: Picard, which is also on Paramount +, and really enjoyed it.

I was old enough to "get" Star Trek right around when TWOK came out. Been hardcore into it since. Except for starfleet academy. Screw that show.
Love strange new worlds! This season has been kinda…huh? But it’s still interesting to watch. Picard S3 is my absolute favorite of all of the latest shows. Finally, a writer and show runner who got it beyond anyone else!

I've been watching ST:Picard, too. Just started 2nd season, which is... dare I? Fascinating 
Of all the strange new worlds, new life and new civilizations, nothing has been more interesting and terrifying than The Borg! Maybe that's one of the reasons I don't like social media. It's just one step closer.

Wasn’t there a Trekkie weekend this weekend with back to back movies at theatres?
I had some other fun things planned this weekend so did not go but I am looking forward to the new release I heard was coming

Well — I didn’t expect a Trek thread of all things to catch my eye on SI.
Sounds like you’re catching up some Unhinged!
Strange New Worlds is a blast, and Picard gets better as it goes along, loved that last season best.
My wife and I are also TNG nerds at heart, but seem to find new ways to….keep Trekking with all the other shows over time.

Well... it's about damned time you showed up on this thread, Oldwounds!
I just finished Picard this morning. The only thing I can say about the series...
