Have you ever given up on a Trek series? If so, what was the last straw for you?

I’ve never really “given up” on any Trek show—I’ll watch pretty much anything with Trek in the title—but the turbolift scene in Discovery was the last straw.

ANDROMEDA was a better series than DISCO. Its first season had more good episodes than the entirety of DISCO.

I know we don't agree about Discovery but, as far as Andromeda? I watched the first half of the first season in 2000 and that was it. Too much jumping around (literally) and action scenes on a low budget. I heard the show got sillier in subsequent seasons and never went back. The concept was there, not so much the execution.

That having been said, the biggest takeaway I got from it is something positive. I could see the Federation eventually becoming something like the Commonwealth, if it ever went from interstellar to intergalactic.

I gave up Discovery and because of this topic was trying to pinpoint exactly when. I gave up for many reasons, but I seem to recall a big trigger being they did "Forget Me Not" which I thought was a well executed story, rather sweet. Then almost immediately one of them starts coming back as visions. And I remember thinking LEAVE. IT. BE. Tell a good story, move on. But they can't.

Also I hated Booker taking up so much time when not main cast, and other things... I hated all the flight suit time shenanigans red devil whatever stuff. I stopped I think with The Sanctuary.

Sorry if this is a bit vague or a bit wrong, as it has been a while since i gave up.

Book became part of the main cast in the third season. I'm only going to make that one factual correction.

Ahh he was Book! I wrote Book, then Googled and it was saying Booker. And actually I shouldn't single him out only as I felt him and Burnham just took too much screentime and the rest of the cast felt like props around them.
