The Harry Potter book series is a collection of lazy tropes that is elevated by what people read into it, not what's actually there.

TNG hasn't really aged well and when it was new, I commented frequently to friends on the rehashed TOS storylines. DS9 can still carry water for the franchise. I think that SNW is just elevated a bit.

TNG is the most of its time Star Trek series ever. TOS stands up remarkably well in many cases, some of DS9's stories are still as thought-provoking now as when they were first aired, but TNG could only have existed in that late-80s-to-early-90s period.

SNW is excellent, but most of the best and most entertaining Star Trek I've seen in recent years has been in Lower Decks.

Wasn't the cross over episode just amazing?
A double dose of excellent Trek!

5. It was great that they killed off Glenn in The Walking Dead, because it freed up Steven Yeun to be in things that are good.

I got around to watching Beef last night, and yeah, can't argue with this.

Geeks spend WAY too much time fanboying/girling over people who may have produced a beloved product (game, book series, TV show, etc) but are otherwise crappy people. And they backlash way too much when it's brought to their attention.

I mean, you're not wrong. But it did have a few good episodes in there. It just had a LOT of terrible episodes.

How about this-

The first two seasons of Strange New Worlds are the best first two seasons of any Star Trek since TOS.

I don't think that's an unpopular opinion.

It's only real competition is DS9. And that's only because DS9 isn't awful season 1.

It is a very good movie, but it's a bad fit for a Star Wars movie.

It's a bad sequel OK movie on its own merits.

I watched it somewhat recent. 2-3 neh to bad seasons and about 50/50 after tgat.

DS9 was a lot better imho.

DS9 started stronger but was still a slow build to good.

When Cisco shaves his head, the entire thing gets more streamlined, and takes off - zoom!

People keep misspelling Babylon 5

Unpopular opinions about B5...

Sheriden... isn't a particularly good captain.
Mira Furlan tried so hard, but the Sheriden-Delenn romance just didn't work. No chemistry from Boxleitener
