It seems the core characters are at the center of every single major political and scientific event in the galaxy. It just makes the ST universe seem small.
I have no problem with warp as a concept, its just that for the ghost image of the ship to still be visible that long the ship would have had to come about ten times as far away as the moon is from earth,
On a new tv series: Contemporary, successful TV series are far away from TNG. Breaking Bad, House of Cards, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead. They're dark, they're gritty, strong character development, mature topics. I want to see a series like this set in the Klingon Empire facing a new civil war. Star Trek has designed this race of brutal, fearless warriors with their strong honor codex, the high council as government, rich lore and religion like Khaless etc. and even developed a new language and they simply don't use all this. I'm not saying no more starfleet, just try to give viewers something new instead of the new lousy starship that feels like somehting you've already seen 4 times.
Wait for it…….
DAX DIES !!!!!!
WTF ? !!!!!!!!!!!!
With Next Generation, everyone (okay, maybe not Barclay) was such a type-A workaholic, ladder-climbing type that I simply didn't buy into it from the perspective of a former military officer (I was an Army Captain when I got out).
Could you imagine the annual evaluation process to make rank in an organization like that? If you hadn't saved at least a dozen planets, you'd never get promoted! With peers like that, any infraction (or even perception of such from your rating chain) of any kind, no matter how slight, would end your career right there.
the old Trek showed what I always felt was a far more realistic military body, where people were... people. In STNG, I simply didn't see that at all.
Fair enough, but where were the 'so-so' starships and crews? In the NG universe, I never recall seeing any of them.That same thing used to bother me, but then I realized something... The Enterprise was the flagship of the Federation. It was the one that exemplified what Starfleet meant. It was where ambassadors came to visit, royalty, all that stuff. Getting a posting to the Enterprise was a career-making assignment. Naturally, you'd want to crew it with the best of the best.
So to me, the crew of the Enterprise D and E were atypical of what you would find in Starfleet. I believe that the rest of Starfleet was just as varied in crew standards as anywhere else.

So when everything is free and noone gets paid, who volunteers to ublock toilets?
