As has been demonstrated (repeatedly) on this forum, your opinion often differs from others - which is fine, because enjoyment/dislike is subjective.

However, Rotten Tomatoes gave Season 3 a 91% approval rating, and Season 4 92%, and since Season 5 is on its way, it appears a reasonable amount of viewers disagree with you…

I actually agree with him as it appears do many others.

Putting the Cruitics score to one sdie Audience scores are the following.

S1 36%, S2 36%, S3 40% and S4 19%.

That tells me a reasonable amount of viewers disagree with both you and the critics.

Hmm, an internet vote

Back in pre-internet days, fandom indulged in letter-writing campaigns. These days they all just pile on forums and review websites. As always, such things are skewed towards the highly motivated.

So while there’s evidence to suggest a section of fandom has an extremely flaccid realism factor over ST: D it’s hardly conclusive proof of its wider audience appreciation.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets

Last season was okay but this was a joke. It was a pathetic excuse for everyone to stop what they were doing every 2 minutes and talk about their feelings, how we all have mental health issues and all love and care for each other. Let's not forget the mandatory gay drama every episode where even during red alert (when I should be at my post) and the ship is seconds away from being destroyed I have got time to run down to engineering and whinge about something. Or the new thing........we follow the away team round the ship and give them a kiss goodbye as they beam out. This wasn't Star Trek, this was shoddily written PC bullshit dragging the Star Trek name through the mud. The series needs to be removed from the timeline.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets

People is plural. I would love to know they are. The last season can be summed up by everyone constantly smiling at other and after any minor scene/event to further the real story, everyone took it in turns to pair up and have a 5 minute heart to heart and discuss their feelings. I think we literally had every combination you can think of.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets

While I dont exactly think it was as bad as GM makes out, I have to say its become quite irritating some of the time, too much PC BS and touchy feely stuff, and not enough actual storyline/action.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets

Totally understand that - people like different things.

At around $8 million per episode, pretty sure they’re not making another season because no one likes it.

But GM’s approach is that if he doesn’t like it, no one else should be allowed to like it…

Sounds a bit "cancel culture" to me…

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets

It is an insult to Star Trek and its legacy. It either needs to be un-made or change its name.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets

Well, because of it’s popularity, Picard, Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks, & Prodigy got made - so enough people liked it to encourage Paramount to make more series…

You know, you could always just not watch it…

I said that at the end of season 2 but you guys banged on about how amazing season 3 was so I reluctantly gave it ago when it had finished airing and I had nothing else to watch. It was surprisingly okay and semi redeemed itself which made me open to watching season 4 but it has taken a nose dive again. It is just like Supergirl where they are pushing their own agenda, have a complete disregard for what the series is supposed to be about and turn it into something completely different and slap Star Trek on the label.

Star Trek has always pushed an agenda, it just used other species to tell the story it needed.

No one takes notice of what you say about movies and tv so why do you take notice of others? Surely you know yourself you are hard to please

I thought they had changed their mind on what the T Rex actually looked like and was fatter and had feathers
