I will often form a judgment that I don't like something, and I will give my opinion as I have here. But I am always intellectually curious and my tendency after conversations like this is to watch or rewatch things with all the arguments in the thread in mind. So while I may hold the position that I think Star Trek workers better when it has more optimism, and I preferred TNG and OS to stuff like Deep Space Nine, I am inclined to rewatch Deep Space Nine with fresh eyes. Same with something like Section 31. This is why I don't think I am writing anything off or being dismissive. These are just movies and shows, it isn't a personal judgement on other people if we happen not to like them. But me saying "I think Star Trek is better when it is optimistic" doesn't mean I can't watch and engage with Star Trek that isn't doing that (I may be less inclined to but I still can, and can still get enjoyment even out of entertainment I find falls short or doesn't fit my taste)</p></blockquote><p></p>
