The franchise wouldn’t exist if my 90 something year old mother-in-law and women like her didn’t watch it all and buy the books and magazines since 1966z

Or, if I and my partner and others hadn’t been watching since TOS was in first run.

Having defended TNG against TOS fans who wanted it killed, and having seen TAS killed by fan campaigns in the mid 1970s, I have no time for people in their 40s and 50s who would rather kill a show than have new Trek that might be meaningful to my GenZ kids.

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?

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.

It’s possible on a regular basis.

However, as with other high profile accounts, one expects that messages that are high profile would be cleared with the person under whose name the official account is made.

This makes sense if they want to break down the sets.

There was a report posted elsewhere claiming that the viewership has been greater than expected but they still canceled it.

It’s a silver lining to see Shatner using his platform for the greater good.
