Just once I'd like a post where everyone is chill and positive about stuff instead of focusing on negative

Edit: I dunno why I expect people to ever be capable of being positive anymore. Dunno why I bother.

I miss how campy it used to be. I feel they finally nailed it with Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds, but Disco and Picard were rough. Picard S3 was a little more tolerable though.

Camp is an intentionally over-the-top stylistic choice, it's a specific well defined style. It doesn't just mean "silly" or "cheesy". Star Trek isn't camp.

Sorry to be that guy but it's one of my pet peeves.

Plenty of Trek camp was/is very much self-aware and intentional.

SNW S1e8 and trouble with tribbles. Just off the top of my head.

Also, many holodeck eps and the ones where everyone is horny.

I did enjoy Picard S3, but that notably didn't involve Kurtzman.

It 100% did involve Kurtzman. People out here just making up whatever nonsense fits their narrative. Clown shit.
