    Berman and Braga are The Problem with Star Trek today.

    Well they're The Problem with Star Trek 1991-2005.

    I'd never heard about that twitter account until this very moment, yet without looking, I know exactly what it is

    What is it with ricks

    Man

    I really wish red letter media didn't lean so hard on gross out humor and their stupid boring meta story

    Their jokes and criticism are good enough to stand on their own!

    Eh

    It's mostly ignorable for me

    Pretty much as soon as they cut to original footage I skip two minutes and its fine

    They were thinking of rebooting the TV series recently with them in control.

    they had enough difficulty getting the full cast together for the series, throwing in a co-star from another, less-popular show would have cut the screen time for the rest of the cast down to like a minute each

    I played the hell out of that game. Fun fact, the away team missions actually changed fairly dramatically depending on who you took with you.

    I'm pretty passionate about trek.

    I grew up with TNG, like literally. It started the year I was born and from the time I could get away with watching it around 91-92 I did every chance I got.

    Just give me a new Star Trek series set like 100 years int he future where there is no way any previous character is still alive. Give me the Enterprise-H or something. Just a bunch of people going out to explore the universe and solving problems using teamwork and technology.

    Alternate Idea.

    Set it in TNG era but in the alternate timeline created by the Abrams movies.

    The borg are invading and the primary powers of the alpha quadrant have to try to form a coalition to defend themselves. Creating new political tension as old enemies now have to work together...

    also make one of them have HUGE TITS and she has to get naked for some reason every episode

    and make them all bitter and dark and edgy and moody

    and thrown in a really goofy comic relief character

    also there needs to be a time traveler from "the past" (2014) who gets to name drop social media networks ("HOLY SHIT THAT COMMUNICATOR... IS THE NEXT TWITTER") and constantly compare their future world to our present world as a deep metaphor for the future and shit

    Also put someone competent in charge.

    Braga catches a lot of flack but I think he is good at writing a very specific type of episode, he does rightfully get a bad rap for kissing Berman's ass though.

    I remember literally mourning TNG after the last episode. I think I was 14? There were no tv seasons on DVD (or DVDs for that matter) so I was pretty much dealing with the idea that it was entirely over.

    I've seen Braga credited on things I've enjoyed (including some of the less crappy 24 seasons), so I'm fully willing to put all the blame on Berman.

    His face is so punchable.

    I ended up slowing down on watching it as I turned 10 to 13 or so so around that time I didn't watch it as much.

    When I rediscovered it at like 15 it was in repeats on I think TNT I think and I must have seen each episode more than twice.

    I never got too much into the spinoff series until very recently though on netflix because the only one I saw on TV was voyager and it is obviously awful.

    But! He was friends With Gene Roddenberry!

    Even though the first season or two of TNG were largely held back by Roddenberry micromanaging his creative team.

    I also think the borg queen was a little less then necessary.

    She's the opposite of what the Borg are about! They are the many that is one! They assimilate, not negotiate. They have no need for centralization of any kind unless it increases efficiency, and there's nothing less efficient than talking with a stupid fleshy mouth

    a DS9 game would be 1000000 times more interesting as an adventure game than TNG

    TNG should be FTL with less combat

    So there's this free game on iOS and Android called SUITS AND SWORDS

    It is a hilariously stupid RPG but it is interesting because the combat is handled through BLACKJACK

    The hand closest to 21 gets to attack, if you bust you take extra damage. If you double down you deal extra damage on an attack, if you split you get two attacks.

    The magic spells can add or reduce your total, and the expensive ones can fuck with your opponent's.

    It is insidiously addicting
