I've also given up on the franchise. We've had our TNG, DS9 and VOY, but enough is enough. We've had a good run. I've only watched the new stuff because of the Star Trek branding, but it sure didn't feel like Trek. Except for SNW (which respects the old formula for the most part) and LD (which is just meta humour that non-trekkies wouldn't enjoy), the newer series were just mediocre sci-fi at best. It's tiring and every time I put on a new episode I feel like I'd rather be doing something else. It feels like trying to give a crap about all the pokemon that came after the original 151.
