What about where he said I was objectively wrong and proceeded to tell me why I like the things I do? I don’t need anyone telling me why I think the way I do while they prop themselves up on faulty logic and off-base reasoning.

I didn’t say it was objective. I just said I say you’re wrong. And it was in jest. You said you don’t know what to say and so I said I did. No personal offense was intended and I apologize if it was received that way.

You can like what you like and that’s fine. I just say that I’m of the opinion that many people’s hate for Enterprise, DS9, or Voyager is largely unfair or based on nostalgic bias. Certainly there are bad episodes, but TOS and TNG are not exempt from that criticism either. Voyager and Enterprise having a similar premise to TNG doesn’t make them bad. I put them in the category of “if it ain’t broke…”

More of the same isn’t a bad thing if what is the same is what was good about the prior content. I mean, if people’s primary complaint about them is that they’re too much like TNG, and I loved TNG, then I don’t see the problem. Further, no one is leveling that complaint against The Orville when its similarity to TNG is deliberate.
