I believe that was the exact attitude Original series fans had towards Next Generation fans.

I don't know why that matters as this isn't a case of an IP continuing it's own story but a clown trying to milk nostalgia for profit.

LD did a lackluster DS9 episode that literally references the opening is what I'd call milking nostalgia. Or when SNW did Zap Brannigan Kirk just so all those people who have heard of him would recognize it and clap. Is the Orville derivative? Absolutely. But let's not act like Star Trek is a stranger to exploiting nostalgia.

Again, so what? Star Trek having bad, nostalgia bait episodes does not mean that I should support another show that makes bad nostalgia bait it's entire identity.

It's actually a good execution of the formula for the most part. McFarlane is a well known trekkie who has huge respect for the series so I think he's going for more than nostalgia baiting for a quick buck.

On a different note, what is this "supporting shows" thing? I usually just watch them.

You're literally trying to get me to watch a show I've stated several times that I do not like and do not want to watch.

You clearly do more than just "watch them".

I am merely stating the fact that your opinion is wrong. It's not bad nostalgia bait, it's a formulaic show that is well executed. Don't behave like a child.
