Wow you are tiresome.

Glass houses, Champ.

I guess this shows Lemmy can be a good reddit alternative though with some internet troll scolding others for not liking trek for the same exact reasons as them.

It is not trolling to point out the realities of the entertainment industry. And I'm not scolding anyone. I know people who very much enjoyed season three of PIC, and more power to them. I wish I liked it. However, I will be staggered if "Legacy" happens and the majority of people whose opinions flipped once we got back to the adventures of the TNG crew won't flip again as soon as those characters are no longer a part of the show. Again, not trolling or scolding, simply a prediction.

Yes. Star trek is one of the highest grossing media franchises in the history of the world being more profitable than the likes of Spiderman, Jurassic Park, and Mario. I know media executives aren’t the smartest people in the world, but I’d say that’s a fairly healthy franchise and is a cash cow if they appeal to the right audience.

And yet somehow it keeps going for long stretches without any new Trek.

See my last two links. It’s a very common theme that Prodigy is for kids and that turned of many of the traditional adult fans myself included.

Your two links to some small websites where those particular reviewers didn't enjoy the series, one of which based solely on the first two episodes? I could also cherry pick reviews.

Look, I don't know who the "traditional" Star Trek fan is. I know that my old ass has been watching TOS reruns since before TNG was ever announced but I am not going to assume I am the archetypical fan, or assign all Trekkies my personal tastes. Not everyone can share my appreciation for great episodes like "The Way to Eden" and "Sub Rosa" and that's okay; I'm just built different.

But I was a kid when I was watching TOS. I was still a kid when I was watching TNG. And when I was watching TNG as a child, I had all sorts of toys and action figures, as do several of my friends. The idea that the "traditional" Trekkie demographic does not include children is wild.
