That’s the biggest problem here. I’m annoyed that implications are ignored, but I’m more annoyed by “hey, why don’t we just redo a bunch of stuff the old show did?”

I feel like they’re damned if they do and they’re damned if they don’t. If they do something similar, they get crap because it’s similar. If they do something different, they get crap because it’s different. Or it’s different in the wrong way, or it’s… whatever it is that people don’t know they want but know they don’t want that.

Voyager and Enterprise are too much like TNG. DS9 is too much like Babylon 5. The Kelvin Universe is too much like Star Wars but with an Apple-style aesthetic on the bridge. For that matter, Star Wars is now too much like Marvel or too much like A New Hope or Old Luke is not enough like Young Luke.

I feel like people too often enjoy not liking things. Whereas I’m saying people don’t have to like it but they don’t have to make the time to bitch about it either.

I love TOS TNG DS9 and the original motion picture series. I like some aspects of Voyager but overall it has less interesting characters outside of the Doctor. I actually wish I enjoyed it more, and I still watch it from time to time. The TNG movies are too far removed from the tone of the series as well as issues I have with the plots. I don’t like ENT because I think it’s dumb.

I don’t love to hate. I just think it’s weird that people like the bad stuff.
