How do you know you're not going to like something before you have watched it? Also, why aren't you “just watching it for the fun in it”?
Hey, as a writing teacher I'm a big proponent of the idea that the language is constantly changing, but these words don't mean remotely the same thing.
FYI - during S1 the Shenzhou bridge was a redress of the Discovery bridge set (IE they were swapping pieces out and around. Thus you had to walk up stairs to get to either one.I didn't say the Shenzhou was a two-level bridge, I said a two-level set. Comparing screenshots they do appear to be the same albeit altered set. Notice the same wall structures, doors and consoles even.
The S31 Bridge could be a Redress of the space as well. With CGI they could easily have created the 'two story" illusion too. Perhaps they built it as part of the development process fopr the S31 show still hoping for a pilot/series order? (Which I hope they get.)
No, the Shenzhou bridge was a separate set from the Discovery bridge. The corridors, quarters, transporter room etc. though were the same sets redressed for the individual ships, if I remember correctly. The Shenzhou bridge was build as a two-level set, the Discovery's wasn't.FYI - during S1 the Shenzhou bridge was a redress of the Discovery bridge set (IE they were swapping pieces out and around.

Well, you don't. But outside of online fandom, I know a lot more people who choose to give up on something as opposed to spending hours and hours arguing about how terrible they think it is.
Most people would choose to say, "Hey, you like this but it ain't for me. Enjoy!"
Obsessive fans choose to say "Hey you like this, so it AND you suck because [insert litany of reasons here]."
Which is more productive?
There are things I don't love in fandom: Voyager, Rogue One, Doctor Who. I'm not thrilled with Orville. I may make a fleeting comment about things I find a problem with, but ultimately I choose to just let people live. But that's just me.
It would have been shorter if Kirk just left Kang and Co. in the Transporter as Chekov suggested.
Of course in "Day of the DFove" remember:
1) They didn't discover the alien until said alien had control of the ship.
2) The alien was also able to manipulate minds and fighting the manipulation was hard and took serious and conscious effort (Something Kang wasn't willing to do until said alien was hanging right in front of him.)
Just saying...
Has it? Or just among confused genre fans?
Not trying to be difficult, but they did state in BTS interviews that they were the same set in S1.No, the Shenzhou bridge was a separate set from the Discovery bridge. The corridors, quarters, transporter room etc. though were the same sets redressed for the individual ships, if I remember correctly. The Shenzhou bridge was build as a two-level set, the Discovery's wasn't.

i get what you're saying, but isn't it reasonable to use past experiences to make a presumption? I mean it's always best to confirm things (especially if you're gonna be spouting off your opinions) but If I'm a vegetarian I don't think I need to eat a bucket of fried chicken to tell you I don't want to go to KFC.
"Just watching it for fun" often means "just turn your brain off" imo. Which is fine for some things. Not so fine for others. It's all a matter of taste. I usually (but not always) prefer Trek to be thought provoking.
All they need now is a line from Micelle Yoeh when she fires and misses saying: "Missed it by THAT much!"
(If you're under 50, you probably won't get the above reference.
)
Even though the question wasn't directed at me, I have an answer.
I watched six episodes of ENT in 2001, then I was out. That was the middle-ground I found between "You didn't give it a chance" and "If you don't like it, don't watch". I watched a season of The Orville, didn't re-watch during the year it was off, saw the opening minutes of the first episode of Season 2, decided "I'm out", and haven't looked back.
I sample something, then stop as soon I think I've seen enough.
Actually after 1900 years (which at this point in time is how long it's been since the "Time of the Awakening by Surak) where a predisposition towards logic and complete non-emotionalism are seen as desirable traits in a mate - I could see Vulcans being more genetically predisposed to being less emotional. Yes, you'll never breed emotion completely out, but such selective breeding would create a predisposition.
that could be fun - the monster of the week to show how badass she is and the long story arc to show how even more badass she is by strangelling the perpetual monster with her bare hands

i'd be sure by now if i wouldn't like it i knew that and i'm certain i found something better to do with my time - even inhaling too large an amount of scotch beats watching a show i definately don't like
And of course their communicators would be in one of their shoes.All they need now is a line from Micelle Yoeh when she fires and misses saying: "Missed it by THAT much!"
