    I just wish I saw more Star Wars references but not that bootleg Disney crap, I like my star wars like I like my bands in the EU.

      As a purist, we can agree that the only real series was TNG, this was the cornerstone, built on the hallowed but kind of silly ground made by the original series, but followed by DS9 when we grew up a little, and we can kinda accept Voyager was a thing that happened somewhere in the distance but we don’t get too close.

      There was nothing else. The franchise ended and we all moved on, happy for the good run. “ALL GOOD THINGS…”

        A purist would know that it’s not Star Trek if Kirk, Spock, and McCoy are not present. We don’t need French men with English accents or William T. Ripoff!

        wtf is a Star Trek “purist” and why should anyone care about your arbitrary opinion?

          why should anyone care about your arbitrary opinion

          By this metric, what’s the point of even browsing any forums or websites at all? Everything is someone’s arbitrary opinion, if it makes you feel bad to read something you disagree with, you can’t fix that outside of yourself.

            I love that your response to what a “star trek purist” is is a defense of bs opinions on the internet

              My actual response to someone so cynical and unable to relax and banter about hobbies and fandoms is to block them. Bye.

              It probably means different things for different people, because like every other fandom, it’s kinda arbitrary.

              I was kind of purist. I started with TOS, but TNG, DS9, and VOY were right then too. Didn’t care as much for Voyager, but it was ok. Skipped Enterprise completely. I have TAS but haven’t watched it. Actively disliked the Kelvin movies. I’ve missed all the new stuff because I don’t stream, except Lower Decks, which I find delightful. I’m gonna pick up Picard and SNW soon.

              I guess you missed the part where he quoted the exact part of your comment that he was replying to. Or do you just want to ignore that part so you don’t have to defend it?
