Discovery Trailer

It sounds like you want it to. The more interesting question is — why?

I mean, I’m interested in a new TV show and plan to check it out, and it seems really important to some people that that not happen.

I’m gonna check it out. I’m not bothered by the shade of their uniforms or the hue of their shoelaces or what the weather was like in that one scene in the trailer. Sorry!

I'm with morrus on this. Seems like some people are looking for things not to like, rather than just giving it a shot with an open mind. Like my friends who couldn't just enjoy the LotR movies because the plot wasn't identical.

I don't get the references in that cartoon.

Morrus said:

Yeah, but the question is why do folks seems to be expending so much effort trying to persuade other people that they should not be interested?

It's like any expression of interest has to be challenged and beaten down. Some of us just wanna watch it and share our enthusiasm without being told we're wrong because folks so desperate to find something to criticise it have resorted to condemning the weather in a brief scene they saw. It makes fandom feel like a chore, where you have defend your interests constantly.

Same thing with the DC movies (which were brought up above). I quite like them, except for the overused of lightning in the big end fights. The colour pallette literally isn't a thing for me. Just don't care.

I love this.

I'm so sick to death with fandom coming along and taking a big steaming dump on everything I like.

I just want to watch a frickin tv show not make a major life choice.

I want to be interested for the same reason I played Mass Effect Andromeda. For reasons explained in Penny Arcade:

I love Star Trek. I've wanted more since Enterprise went off the air. Before, really, as I didn't enjoy that show's first couple seasons.
But I want more actual Star Trek. Not generic science fiction with the name "Star Trek" slapped overtop...
