I'm working my way through Star Trek: Discovery and I surprised myself by developing a fondness for Klingons (I ordinarily have no love for antagonists, Negan especially). Klingons are brutal yet the best of them are fair and honorable. They don't suffer complexity; they party, fight, and accept the inevitability of death, welcoming it when it shows up.
Some of my other favorite phrases:
  • Four thousand throats may be cut in one night by a running man.
  • Pity the warrior who slays all his foes.
  • A sharp knife is nothing without a sharp eye.
  • Today is a good day to die.
  • Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, prepare to die.
  • If you cannot fail, you cannot succeed.
  • If you cannot be shamed, you cannot be honored.
  • Virtue is the reward.
  • Trust but verify.

Before Discovery, I hadn't managed to really get into Star Trek. Strange New Worlds was a bit of gateway, not great and a little too soap opera-y, but decent background noise for programming or thinking late at night. Discovery surprised me.

I'm now entirely too old school for either of those. My three Star Treks are the original, the Next Gen, and Deep Space. I also make room for Enterprise. At Janeway, I jump ship and haven't found anything worth returning to.

What was wrong with janeway? I remember enjoying Voyager, but it's been a while since I watched.

The thing wrong with Janeway was Janeway. It was one of those "wouldn't it be edgy to have a female captain and ruin the series" Dr. Who suicide moments.
