    I’m with most people I’ve seen express a big meh for the show.

    That show is only Star Trek by name. It’s got its own thing going (more science fantasy than science fiction), which isn’t my thing, especially not when you’re looking for a Star Trek fix which always had a nack for playing with real science but sticking with the plausibility of it.

    I enjoy the other Star Trek show(s) and The Orville much more to get that.

    So I watch them.

    This constant “they are haters because minorities/women/other representation” is getting tired. It’s a couple loudmouth incels that have that sort of criticism and people like you seem to love getting baited in then saying everyone that doesn’t enjoy what you enjoy must be with them.

      God, I’m so fucking tired of this line. This shit was said about the movies, and TNG, and DS9, and VOY, and ENT and the Kelvin movies. Everytime it’s wrong.

        You could hide the words ‘Star Trek’ and ‘Enterprise’ from TOS and TNG and people would not know they were part of the same franchise.

          For real. None of the ships look familiar. The fuckin badge/delta doesn’t even look the same. Tech is all kinds of different. Whole new warp scales. New command hierarchy with the previous divisions being changed.

              I saw the post this comment was made on, not realizing the context at first, and openly sighed and said “Like they did for the TOS movies and TNG?” Refreshing to see someone else saying that <3
