    If Starfleet characters would never act like that then unfortunately that's a rather sad commentary on how Starfleet officers actually act, which could be fairly stiff, unprofessional or just downright unrelatable, not like people.

    It's funny to me, not to drag another topic in here, but I mentioned that I found the idea of Geordi being with Leah Brahms and showing up in PIC would be creepy given how the relationship as presented. And I just reviewed the transcript is so illustrative of unprofessional behavior and that Geordi is somehow in the right. That's how Starfleet officers should act? O_o

    Sometimes I read reviews and sometimes I don't. Really depends on my mood. Granted most of the Youtubers in question I would not trust at all. Thing is sometimes they might even be right in away because stuff can be really preachy with bad writing. That's always the risk of tv shows or movies when they try to tackle politics or social issues. That's always been the case. Half of the people who disliked TNG seemed to be because of Picard getting up on his soapbox and solving things with a speech. I just get tired of them using the same old arguments. They complain about wokeness or bad diversity but they never have anything actually interesting to say. It's like they are reading from the same talking points script.

    I think it would make for an epic joke if we get a new species flying around in that triangle ship everyone used on TNG.

    I find the discussions here, pro or con, far more insightful than anything pumped out on YouTube.

    Largely because YT doesn't invite discussion.

    I’m talking about the subject matter of the videos. Most people here are far more knowledgeable and rational about the material.

    Agreed, but I don't think many YT channel hosts really want discussion.

    You clearly haven't seen my new video on The TrekBBS: Tool of CBS All Access or are WE the Ones Controlling CBS?

    If the YouTube reaction to the opening scene is anything to go by, those numbers don't mean much sadly

    I trust YouTube reactions as much as I trust anyone named Doomcock.

    I don't trust YT with Star Trek at all at this point. It's unfortunate, but that well has been poisoned substantially.

    When all your arguments wash out, run to YouTube to find something to support your position...

    I was replying to RAMA's post about Twitter views and the online reaction. READ the post.

    Yup. It's just like "Google it." If that's the argument then I'll simply ignore it.
