[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 7991357, member: 18182"] Because some of us disagree with you on certain points, we can't look critically at media? Okay. Personally, I'm a pretty big fan of Star Trek, but not to the point where I have an encyclopedic knowledge of the franchise. I've seen all the TV shows and movies, but I'm realizing now (as I have been doing a Next Gen re-watch) that there are tons of episodes I didn't catch when they first aired on TV, and tons more I almost completely forgot about in the decades since seeing it. I'm only now, during the quarantine, beginning to go back and power-stream the series episode-by-episode. I've occasionally read a Star Trek novel or comic, but not many. I have an Eaglemoss model of the U.S.S. Enterprise (Discovery-version) sitting on my shelf, and a more classic Enterprise model kit in my classroom. I just recently got back into Star Trek Online and I'm having a lot of fun with it (a fun, but highly imperfect game). And . . . that's about it. I'm a bigger fan than some, and a much smaller fan than others. Star Trek is far from perfect. Some of the various episodes are downright awful, some entire seasons and even series are sub-par. Same for the movies. Most of the "prime directive" episodes work me up and piss me off . . . . But taken as a whole, I love it! I've been really enjoying the new-Trek on CBS All Access including Discovery, Picard, and Short Treks . . . I've never enjoyed Trek more and the new series are my favorites out of the entire franchise so far. In fact, I'm more engaged with the Trek franchise than ever before, I'm going back and re-watching old episodes/movies and playing the online game all due to my excitement over new-Trek. I get that not everybody feels that way, that certain elements of the new series depart from classic Trek in various ways . . . . this really irks some fans, and others (like me) really dig it. I don't always work hard at taking a critical eye to things that I simply just enjoy, like Star Trek. So? Every piece of media and art has its flaws, and they either bug you or they don't, doesn't mean you can't identify them or put the same importance to them that others do. The idea that somehow my views and my enjoyment of Star Trek is somehow lesser, invalid, or completely uncritical is . . . well, it's pretty damn arrogant and insulting, quite frankly. EDIT: Oh yeah, I'm really looking forward to Strange New Worlds and it's (hopeful) return to classic Trek storytelling and themes. No reason why Discovery, Picard, Lower Decks, and Strange New Worlds can't all exist and be enjoyed at once and by the same fans. I'm excited about ALL of it! [/QUOTE]
