    Thanks for not just downvoting like everyone else. People take this stuff too personally.

    Even in spite of my complaints, I’ll still watch it with the family. I’m just bummed out that the qualities that made Star Trek so endearing are watered down or lost to the changing tastes of a new generation of media consumers and the insufferable corporate assholes who just don’t get it.

      or lost to the changing tastes of a new generation of media consumers

      This is the part that just baffles me.

      I rarely see anything but vitriol for anything anymore and it usually seems almost wholly unwarranted at the levels it’s offered at.

      I’m beginning to think it’s not that people actually dislike the stuff that comes out, they’re just so programmed to nitpick EVERYTHING that they don’t remember how to enjoy something without finding fault. Or they don’t want to risk saying they liked something only to have someone call their very right to an opinion in question. Or… I don’t know. It well and truly confuses me.

        People love to whinge. Some of it is warranted but the internet has made it too easy to find readers so there’s way more whinging than needed.
