Oh it was on? Hmm.

And I loved The Next Generation.

The Original Series was not that bad. Their movies were better though.

I've searched all over FR and didn't see this one posted, so I thought I would do the honor of informing my fellow Trekkie FReepers of the news.

The writing's been on the wall the last few months... I've noticed that post-season 4, even Drekkies aren't defending the show anymore. It's gotten to the point now where we are actually 'allowed' to criticism Star Trek: Discovery (or "STD" as I like to call it for short) on social media again, without being called "toxic fans" and muted or banned for not blindly fawning over the show.

I guess Stacey Abrams will have to find a new acting gig!

Good riddance. As a lifelong Trek fan STD was an abomination.

others shed no tears at all, feeling that it was the worst of the bunch.

90% of the crap produced by Hollywood is infected with the woke virus. It's just not watchable at all. It's crap.

What fans? If I am not mistaken, no one watched this show. Can anyone name a character from it? You can find plenty of people who know characters from previous shows; Kirk, Picard, Janeway, Sisko, Archer, Quark, Spock, Worf, Seven of Nine, etc. Cant name a single character from this show.

It was awful. Star Trek had a good run but it’s time for the franchise to end.

Stacey Abrams is the black Ted McGinley. Only took one episode. But really, the black Mary Sue had already killed Discovery.

Can you imagine what SciFi is going to be like in 20 years?

5 years? Never heard of it. Sounds like I’m lucky.

Never watched an ep, never had an inkling to. It’s the opposite of Roddenberry’s vision, as is all the Woke Drek/Faux Drek vomitus in the post-2000s error of Abrams, Kurtzman, et al.

The only real star trek Enterprise commander.

Every other since was an epic fail, especially
picard.

Tried to watch it. It seemed too dark, like they don’t have proper lighting in the future?
Just go back to the “stand alone” episodes format that worked for Classic Trek and TNG

Some of these spinoffs I liked others I hated. TNG I really didn’t like that much, Picard too pompous and Riker a true idiot, etc.. I did like Deep Space Nine and Voyager were fine. Recent stuff had no interest in.

Every time Picard called Riker to his ready room I wondered what was going on,

Number One, Make it so!

My last trek was the first Abrams reboot in the movies and a few episodes of Enterprise for tv. That was it for me. Nothing since. It is indeed dead at least for me Jim. Same with Star Wars and virtually everything from big entertainment.
