  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?

        Because the franchise wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for my preferences you pathologically obnoxious twit. I mean seriously do you actually think that anyone outside of the fandom cares about what happens here?

        Our opinions are the only valid opinions and if you disagree with those opinions then that’s entirely your problem.

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