[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7595361, member: 22779"] ROTFLMAO. See, this is what blows me away. This insistence to use canon as a club to beat people into submission while at the same time completely ignoring canon. Let's take Deep Space 9 as an example. You talk about how they didn't have the capability of building ships. Really? Two class 4 industrial replicators rebuilt an entire planet - Bajor - after the occupation. 12 would have allowed the Cardassians to rebuilt their entire industrial base in a matter of weeks. They added hundreds of topedo launchers to DS9. They couldn't add a single replicator? Or heck, a Class 3 one and a crew to assemble the pieces? Or, no spore drive... huh... Transwarp drives... Soliton Wave drive... etc. I mean, it's all well and good to complain about holes in Star Trek, but, good grief. Star Trek has more holes in it than you could could. Always has. Giant, gaping plot holes. Let's take Klingons. TOS gave us klingons in face paint to show they were aliens. Then ST:The Motion Picture comes along, and it has a bigger budget. Suddenly klingons are completely (and I mean completely) different. But, that's okay. We apparently don't mind completely ejecting canon then. Fast forward to Discovery. Again, Star Trek is big budget. They've got lots of money. So, they redesign the Klingons again. Make them more alien and a hell of a lot scarier. Oh, noes, they've destroyed Star Trek. The horror, the horror. Or, we go from a captain that is the youngest captain ever, decorated numerous times, violates the Prime Directive more times than we could count, is never so much as reprimanded (heck, they make Kirk an admiral), STEALS a star ship, gets that destroyed, and poof, he's the captain again. But, a character does pretty much the same sort of stuff, and oh noes, she's a mary sue character that's totally unbelievable. Horror upon horror. Look, I get criticising the show. That's fine. I'll do that too. But, holy crap. To spend two years watching a show you hate, only to then take the time to come onto a forum like this and, on a weekly basis, bitch about how much you hate the show.... well.... wow. That's a level of dedication that I just cannot fathom. Hey, guess what, I don't like Game of Thrones. Never got into it. Watched a couple of episodes and gave up. Same goes for Walking Dead. I watched about the first two seasons and then realised I didn't like it anymore. Oh, and I did the same thing for Battlestar Galactica as well. Totally dropped it in the third season. You know what I didn't do. Spend hours and hours pissing and moaning about a show I hate. When do folks just move on and let those of us who actually like something, like it in peace. BTW, I didn't think mods could block people. I know we can't block them. [/QUOTE]
