I stay away from threads discussing it because the last thing I want to do is tamp down on the fun of people who do enjoy it. I think it’s great that they can.

Some people are in it for the pew pews.

There are, of course, people who just wanted the traditional format, a modern Trek has been legitimately flawed in some respect (I’m not too hot on Picard personally). Those people, though, likely aren’t the ones who make it a full time job to whine on the internet.

It’s weird because I never got the impression it was that and I know McFarlane has a ton of respect for Trek. I’ll go to it some day as a binge when things calm down.

I mean, I’m not gonna respect the opinion of a bunch of dweeby capital “G” Gamers. Nor do I want to encourage them. All I know is that their fans were insufferable (particularly early on) gate keepers of Trek. I don’t think it’s unreasonable that they’d put a bad taste in my mouth.

I’ll never watch that show purely because of the fans. I need some normal people to tell me it’s good.

This is like the most r/Television comment ever.
