There’s another community on another instance apparently run by the same people who run r/startrek on Reddit and they can be…zealous to say the least.

Is this community going to allow people who don’t like some bits of Star Trek?

    The original series does this too, it just ends up being less formal. But this is the basis of the famous Kirk-Spock-McCoy dynamic: Spock presents a cold, rational take on things; McCoy presents a brash, sympathetic take (and makes racist comments about Spock); then Kirk chooses what he’s gonna do. But as others have said, this is the core of Trek: professional adults making difficult choices.

    Probably the biggest issue with the original series is just how many monsters of the week it had. The Next Generation isn’t immune, though it toned it down: a lot of episodes unnecessarily have anomalies of the week, to create pointless tension.

      Nope. Most TOS episodes were primarily about the clash of philosophies. Everybody got to explain their reasons, even Klingons and Nazis.
