Lets just hope they don’t mean the “I liked it before it got woke” jerkwads.

I don’t have anything really against the topics in lots of modern Star Trek, and I like a lot of it. Lower Decks is great, I loved Prodigy and what I have seen of Strange new worlds was quite good too. Even some parts of Picard Season 1 and 2 was good (and it got so much better in S3).

What I can’t watch though is Discovery, this show is just, in my opinion, so bad written on so many levels. A waste of time and money in my eyes. I tried the first three seasons and stopped. I am happy for everyone who likes it, it is just not a show for me and that is fine.

But all of the new shows are so much worse than the old shows (TNG and newer, I am too young for TOS/TAS), by miles. Maybe it is nostalgia (I started watching TNG as a teenager) but I don’t think so. Sure it has it’s own cringe at times but for me the quality of the writing and storytelling is on a completely other level.

Is this a copypasta joke I don’t get or are you just giving an unsolicited opinion in a thread on a completely unrelatd topic

It is the opinion. And to be honest I was really tired and it first started as a more topic related text and then evolved into this due to my sleep drunkenness. Strange how it sometimes goes. But I am sorry for the off topic posting.

First seasons often get a bonus for me when judging a show, it all has to find together and that often needs some time. That’s why I gave Discovery three seasons to win me over, I really tried to like it.

Exaxtly. You can go up to season 3 easily too.

Go watch the “casino in the void” episode of TNG and come back and talk about how much trek sucks now. I personally enjoy the campiness of the episode, but it was played straight, and it was terrible.

Casino in the void always had the vibe of a TOS script transplanted into TNG, the few episodes that I watched from TOS all had the same campiness and stage acting. I think that’s what makes it so terrible, it stands out like a sore thumb.
