The only fake trekkies are the ones complaining that newer Trek is too political or "woke."

What show did they even watch?

    They're not "too political" or "woke," they're written by terrible committees and the executive producers / show runners are hacks.

    Lower Decks (and Prodigy, I'm told) excluded.

    Strange New Worlds is fantastic and takes plenty of risks other shows don't.

    It’s a little little hit or miss. I really liked some of it, but some of the early stuff wasn’t so great.

    So it really is Star Trek, then. :P

    The best Star Trek show is the one you like the most. If that's Discovery, that's fine. And if you don't like the show, that's also fine. But making an overall declaration that a show is terrible and tacitly expecting everyone to agree is not cool.

    I'm not expecting everyone agree whether or telling anyone whether or not they should or shouldn't like it, but there are many more demonstrable issues with writing and plotting, let alone canon, that exist in excess throughout Discovery, Picard, and SNW. These are objective issues that actual writers have taken issue with, and they're consistent issues with the executive producers involved.

    Absolutely TNG or DS9 aren't some pantheon of perfection, but from an overall standpoint of consistency, narrative continuity, and proper handling of characters and their development? They're lightyears beyond the juvenile handling of characters and plots in the post 09 FMV shows. It's just fact.

    Isn't this Han Solo and Chewbacca?

    I'd sooner caution against gatekeeping.

    It is an insane leap to call this gatekeeping when it's actively making fun of gatekeeping. If the line ended with Odo/Quark, sure, but it doesn't. The name is misspelled. Directly making fun of people who claim to be gatekeepers while knowing nothing about what they're talking about.

    quacktv

    For those who don't know, that is a picture of odo and quark from Deep Space nine. Quarks name has been deliberately misspelled as Quack.

    I'm a real Trekkie. My favorite ships are the USS Prometheus and the MCRN Rocinante.

    Wait, the Doctor had an alien companion at some point? I'm a trekky through and through but I didn't know that

    I'm just cracking up picturing Odo changing into an obo to spy on the visiting Cardassian orchestra

    I watched maybe 3-10 Startrek episodes, I didn't see those or most of the people in the memes here.

    Still I love this community

    I'm re-watching DS9 for the third time or something, but I've never seen anything released after Voyager except for the Abrams movie travesties. Am I still a Trekkie?

    My favorite character was always Officer Woof
