Yes, thanks for the illustration

I thought it was appropriate to the tag at the end of your little gatekeeping rant.

As someone who’s been watching Trek since before TNG, I’ve seen arguments like yours applied to nearly every new iteration of the franchise from TNG to the modern day.

Not the guy you're responding to, but Discovery and Picard are awful entirely on their own merits; so bad, in fact, that it took me four years to recover enough to try Strange New Worlds, which was great by the way. Lower Decks and Prodigy aren't really for me, but I've caught enough of them to know they're quality entertainment, too.

It took you, in your own words, four years to recover?

Well adjusted nerds when there's a tv show they don't like:

Personally I also really disliked PIC, but I simply choose to be normal and move on with my life.

As time has gone on I've come to the conclusion Discovery started as the pilot of another show they stretched a Star Trek skin onto

Then how come you can't see the difference between tos to TNG, and classic trek vs the new crap? I say crap, because that's what it is. Discovery was beyond godawful, horrible characters... ST Picard destroyed nearly all love I had for trek, I haven't watched anything for over a year now, first the first time in my life.

Look at the Orville, THAT is TNG in a modern jacket, done by someone who knows and loves trek. The nu drek was done by people who don't give a damn about star trek and it shows.

Yeah man, the show where they solved a galactic conflict by giving the leaders of both civilizations date rape pheromones so they'd fuck one another is definitely the torchbearer for TNG and DS9.
