So since I joined I've been observing the varying strengths of opinion on various series, episodes, themes.
I can't say I agree with all of them, maybe even many of them, what with us all being individuals with different things that male us tick.
What it does seem to me though is that as far as things go, I seem to find fewer faults than most (not in terms of not picks and the like that I enjoy finding to take the piss but in terms of something that would spoil and episode or series for me. Not calling anyone out or meaning this in a negative way but most on the board know Lynx's feelings on Kes and how when Kes left it massively impacted their enjoyment of the series)
For me, I love Trek. I remember my first ever episode. I may even have finally got around to having seen every episode at least twice (one of the few upsides of Rona being that bars have been closed so instead it's been series binges). That said, when I watch it I am a pure face value kind of guy.
The various writers, producers, show runners etc are telling me a story set inside the Trek universe as opposed to telling me a Star Trek story. I want to see how different people's takes on it and so there is no wrong story for me. The greater variety of stories and styles, the bigger the world that there then is to investigate.
Mileage will vary on that approach and there is the odd episode here or there that won't do it for me but to me there is no Bad Trek or ruination of vision.
This isn't my story or my world, I'm a guest in theirs so what right do I have to say what they did is wrong?
By the same token, we are all our own people and that's what I want to understand is others approach and the logic/reasoning behind
