Look, I'm all about the morality plays, but we have to allow for the possibility that folks can enjoy this stuff in different ways. IDIC and all that
Are you "aging out" of Star Trek?

- Start date
At 45, nah, I'll be a Trekkie for life.
Something something time is a companion speech.
Tastes change as you get older and watch more stuff. Most TV shows target 18-49 years olds. It's the sweet spot. There are networks that go younger, and there are ones that go older. However, networks that do go older are more likely to target older women via the Hallmark channel than they're to target older men. CBS tends to go older in general with shows like NCIS.
The other alternative is to read. I find I read more the older I get. It's like a return to my youth. I read a ton as teenager, and now I read a ton as an older adult.

Older Men = Taylor Sheridan
Am I too young for that though? At 45?
Cuz I tried watching Yellowstone and that Zoe Saldana show and dropped like three eps in LOL.
I don't watch Taylor Sheridan.
I'd hardly call Tulsa King and Landman "westerns."
I’m less bothered about the new stuff (DSC S05, SNW S03, LDS S05 and the back half of PRO remain unwatched) but I love to revisit TOS/the Berman stuff.
Shame it’s leaving Netflix in a few short weeks, but that fact has made me consider buying Blu-Rays/DVDs for the first time in over a decade.

He did guest star on Enterprise.Now, remind me: which Star Trek show did Taylor Sheridan do?
Jareb
Jareb was a Triannon and a member of a religious zealot group led by Pri'Nam D'Jamat. In November 2153, Jareb participated in D'Jamat's takeover of Enterprise NX-01 for use against their opponents in a religious war. He took over the science station when T'Pol refused to target an opposing...

This seems harsh
I would definitely call Landman a western. I get your point about Tulsa King.
I have watched all the series so far. I enjoy the ones that are closest to the original series. Strange new worlds seems closest of them all.
Landman is great mostly because of Billy Bob Thornton.

I'd agree with this. For the best of science fiction today, I go to AppleTV. For horror/thrillers, AMC+ and MGM+.
The biggest risk is that Trek turns into Doctor Who, which has recently felt a whole lot like PSAs or after school specials, rather than telling compelling stories with interesting characters.
I dropped out of Star Trek a few times over the years, and at this point, I don't think I'll ever fully walk away but I'm also not nearly so invested as I used to be. I tried to give both DSC and PIC a shot, and bailed on both during their first seasons. I haven't watched any of the other new series at all. It was starting to feel like a chore.
