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.

DISC, Picard, and the cartoons just aren't my vibe, but I am glad they exist for those that love the shows.

That's the way to be!

I think from Season 3 to mid-season 5 and then late season 7 of TNG, most of DS9, and a couple seasons of Voyager, this isn't true. I think people knew at the time we had genuinely good Trek on the air.

No, no they didn't. Run through the alt.startrek Usenet archive throughout the '90s and you'll find plenty of bitching about every series.

Hard disagree, new star trek has had years to "settle in" and has shown almost no signs of improving on the things that make it poor quality - namely low effort pandering writing and a lack of respect for its audience. Alex Kurtzman and the executives are the problem, and they're not going anywhere soon.

All the exact same arguments that were made against TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT.

But way to look at the description of my post and say "Nah, positivity? Fuck that."

Thanks for that.
