  I’ve been watching them, and most are pretty bad… I don’t hate them, but like, I get it. Great production value, but the stories are weak and rather trite.

  Oh come on it’s not that people hate new Star Trek shows it’s that they hate badly written Star Trek shows. There’s plenty of examples of Star Trek shows that people love.

    Good thing people stuck with TNG season one despite rehashes like ‘The Naked Now’, offensive episodes like ‘Code of Honor’ and most of a season of sub par offerings.

      Code of Honour also sounds like it was written for TOS and just recycled. I think a lot of TNG season 1 was like that because they didn’t have characters defined well enough to write for yet.

      Plot-driven sci-fi has always been quite bad TV. People need characters to identify with and follow. Season 1 TNG was plagued with plot-driven shows.

      At least he weren’t trying to show teenage drama down my throat.

      What I want to know is what market research they did to come to the conclusion that this would be positively received, who was the show aimed at, because it certainly isn’t Star Trek fans.

        No one was “shoving anything down your throat.”

        You don’t need to watch.

        You may have been the key 15-34 year old demographic that advertisers and marketers target back in the 1990s. If so, you are not the key demographic now. Why do you think others should be paying for your preferences?

      Not just because they’re new though. But because they’re badly written.

  Is that why nobody watched the damn show? Potential for what? Propagandising your prefered worldview?
