    Picard only has ten episodes per season. They have a much smaller palette to work with than DS9 or TNG.

    The problem with 22 eps is that you get a lot of filler. You get howlers like "Threshold," "Alice," "Take Me Out to the Holosuite," and "Spock's Brain".

    Well i just think that the fracture is enough big to make the new material unwatchable for some fans.

    Again, that's totally. The fans who do not like (and I cannot emphasize this enough) do not need to watch it. I don't watch TNG, I do not go in to the TNG forum and complain about it. It was not a show for me, and I did not enjoy it. There are many who do. Good for them. I mean that and wish them well.

    However, what frustrates me is the insistence that the production team has such a destructive attitude towards Trek that they are trying to ruin it. And that's not the case. They are making "real Star Trek." And, like most "real" things there is variety in taste.

    If Star Trek's vision is truly valuable then it must be applied to those things we do not agree with, as well as the stuff we do like.

    CBS might have something to about that. Intellectual Property has the word Property in it for a reason

    Hi, I'm a fan for over three decades
    I liked it, gave Sulu more character than six TOS movies did
    I like men with big hands more than men with pathetic tiny hands
    idk, seems very Trek-y to me
    why not, it's in the Vulcan system and close enough that Nero would strand Spock there to witness the destruction of Vulcan and the Enterprise was in the area as well.
    not a fan of it, not against it either
    You haven't seen Terminator for a very long time, I guess
    It mostly is, yeah

    They are trying to simplify Star Trek by focusing in its less complex and critical aspctes, trying to make most people It was more action adventure than future uthopic moral based. That's why you now see all that official propaganda talking about the " failed TNG movies", the so bad and boring TMP, etc while its in Kirk and Spock fightning with some spears where the glorious Star Trek past belongs.

    What is important is to respect all fans
    Like a money machine basically.

    As i said most fans wont lose time writting about this they Will just rewatch the old good times of Star Trek or wait to see if It returns in Picard (It doesnt seem It Will) or in another series or new movies. But in the current times is not probable

    If the last fans polls and most of them are putting TWOK and FC as the best movies and Inner Light and City on the Edge of Forever as best episode im glad that things are not so bad as this forum thread could make me think.

    If so, good. Let it fail it is so unpopular let the lack of watching prove it.

    Still Star Trek.

    Projection isn't going to change anything. Some like Picard, some like older stuff and Picard, Some like Disco better than Picard, some hate the 90s stuff but love TOS, Some love TOS and Picard...
