What’s a piece of SF that you just couldn’t get into, even though you feel like you should?
I tried to watch Babylon 5, for instance, and just couldn’t connect to it. I know it’s popular and people love it, but it never hooked me.
Another is The Three Body Problem. I tried reading it after a friend’s glowing recommendation, but I couldn’t get past the first chapter. I even tried reading it in another language in case it was the translation I couldn’t connect with, but the same thing happened.
Both are things I feel like I should like, but just don’t.
I can’t seem get into Star Trek. I’ve seen several variations of movies and shows, but it’s just not for me
The original series is just god awful and I basically love everything else up until to the new movies. (Any trekies in the house wanna fight about Enterprise being the best trek series?)
First, the Trekkers would like a word with you about that slur…
@dave
I just talked about this with customers im my shop last week…
I’m a Trekkie and a Trekker. 🖖
If Swifties become Swifters, the merch people could clean up! 🧹
Furries & Bronies, Furrers & Broners? 🤣

Is Enterprise the best Star Trek series? No way.
Is Enterprise s4 arguably the best individual Star Trek season? Very possible.
Enterprise is a mixed bag for me. I very much disliked the temporal cold war and the season long Xindi war.
But, they had some of the best mirror universe eps. in all of trek and I think, a great cast.
My problem with the earlier seasons is that the human characters all behave like irrational over-emotional caricatures of humans, as if they were written by Vulcan logic absolutists expressly for the purposes of anti-human propaganda. A moderately intelligent human today wouldn’t behave the way they sometimes do, yet we’re to believe that the best and brightest of humanity in the 22nd century would.
By season 4 they had ironed out the kinks and finally told some great stories, but by that point too many people had switched off.
I am really digging Strange New Worlds. It feels like Star Trek to me. (As opposed to Discovery, which-- well, let’s just say I’m not a fan haha.)
hah, the only ones i liked were the early ones.
square acting, awful dialogue, kirk sh*gging random aliens.
comedy gold.
without that we’d have no Zapp Brannigan!
