Star Trek: Discovery S3E12 “There Is A Tide…”

I haven’t actually watched the new show or anything (no untagged spoilers in this thread, please), but this is the general vibe that I get from reading comments from people who have.

    Except that they were correct at being skeptical, and season 1 TNG was crap. Huge improvement came already in season 2, and people started liking it.

    How many series has NuTrek had? How many total seasons? Yeah, it’s still complete garbage to this day.

      Though it wasn’t bad because Patrick Stewart was a theatre actor, nor because he was bald. The issues tended to be more with Roddenberry’s rules against having interpersonal conflict amongst the crew, or scripts that weren’t very good/not written with the TNG crew in mind.

      How many series has NuTrek had? How many total seasons? Yeah, it’s still complete garbage to this day.

      That is a matter of personal opinion, though. People clearly like it enough that we got multiple shows in the current run, rather than it being put away and forgotten about.

      LOL I didn’t mention NuTrek. Enterprise, for example, had a LOT of people screaming about how bad it was. It’s when I gave up on the Trek fandom - I was tired of the negativity. Like this.

        Enterprise wasn’t good. That’s where a lot of problems started. However, in comparison to NuTrek, it’s significantly better still.

          Really? I think the show’s so gosh darn horny in that disgusting Rick Berman way all the time that I’d take almost anything over it.

            Right, so seeing Klingorc boobs and cringe sibling sex is so much better. Or maybe you’re just distracted by all the CGI glitter forcing any semblance of story to take a backseat.
