Just once I'd like a post where everyone is chill and positive about stuff instead of focusing on negative
Edit: I dunno why I expect people to ever be capable of being positive anymore. Dunno why I bother.

You're not. Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds are very popular. They're fantastic shows. The ones people don't really like currently are Picard and Discovery.
Fair enough! Those are the ones I have heard pretty much nothing about except in jabs about them. Thanks!
Probably because they're not very popular in the first place: people have to like the shows enough to keep watching them for there to be any content, and most people do not.
Red Letter Media is masochistic at times and I think they cover Picard pretty thoroughly.
It's like when they made Picard and discovery they couldn't decide what kind of show they wanted to make. Then someone was like "hey, what if we made star trek?" and strange new worlds was born
Yeah, that was my main problem with Discovery when it first came out. It had been so long since we'd had Star Trek, and then they made a new Star Trek show. I was so excited. And then they didn't do Star Trek.
Stamets convinced me to give it another shot though, and I'm on season 4 now, and since Season 3, it really has been Star Trek. I just watched an episode where the ship got captured, and they had to take it back by being clever and competent. And then they fought for the rights of a sentient computer. Really classic Trek scenarios. I like most of the characters now, and while it's still serialized, it's more episodic than it was. Season 3 episode 2 got me to really love three characters I previously didn't really even like.
