With most things Star Trek I'll give it a try until it loses me.
STD lost me really, really early on and I still gave it a more than fair chance.
Picard is doing its absolute damnedest to lose me, but it has maintained a tenuous grasp on my attention.
Lower Decks bought them a lot of Goodwill from me, and they're going to need it because I'm going to give Strange New Worlds a fair shot, but it being even loosely associated with STD gives me serious concern.
What I dont really understand though is that Star Trek was always this kind of pokey old Sci-Fi show that garnered little respect within the industry itself but was always such a hit with fans that its rolled onward with a cult following.
You didnt need crazy spaceships or huge battles or top-notch special effects, you just needed good characters and good stories.
And now they've got all the money in the world in terms of budget but they've lost what initially endeared fans to universe. Its really weird.
Like...if Paramount had had some psychotic Executive in the mid 80s that threw unlimited money at TNG what would have happened?
