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 the original motion picture series.

Do you love all of them though?

I just think it’s weird that people like the bad stuff.

I love all of them but V, and even that I think is a great movie when you remove the stupid comedic filler (an edit I plan on making in the future).

And yes I know that “the bad stuff” is entirely subjective when it comes to something that isn’t objectively poorly made in every possible way, but IIRC there’s a pretty strong consensus that ENT isn’t very good.
