Don't worry, I'm done bashing my head against a brick wall.
Complain away. Don't expect all fans to agree or to find constant negativity to be just accepted with no comment.
Rewatching the first season numerous times has wizened me to the signs that were there but that I didn't see the first time.
What is it with you and reminding people how long you’ve been a fan? No one is stopping you from being negative but that part really grinds my gears. You understand you’re not speaking for a uniform crowd of older fans who all dislike the newer fare, right? I just need to make sure. We have folks here well into their fifties and sixties who don’t share that opinion.
My father has been watching Trek since TOS aired, and he likes the new stuff. Not as much as the old, but enough that he keeps watching all of it.
So yeah, not all 'old fans' dislike the new.
I'm a new fan, only been watching for the last 31 years - that's barely more than half of Trek's age, but I still love the new stuff, give me more more more!
I hope Grudge is properly secured during all gravity flip incidents.
Ha! I’ve been watching since three weeks after I was born. That’s 33 years! Us older fans have been Klingon Torchbearers since you were in diapers.
...even though I was also in diapers at approximately the same time.
A bit late, but Star Trek finally acknowledges the awesome Lost in Space Zero-G shenanigans from "No Place to Hide". I, for one, want to see the wires pulling up Mary Wiseman's hair.
I have to admit, I've been lying all this time. It's no use in pretending anymore. I wasn't born in 1979 and I didn't become a fan in 1991.
No, since I'm a hardcore Discovery Fan, I was born in 2003. I discovered Star Trek in 2017, when I binged all three Abrams Films, then I leaped straight into DISCO. Give meNew Trek NuTrek or give me death!
But, somehow, I've been here since before I was born. Don't ask me how it happened. "When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains however improbable must be the truth." I'm a time-traveller.
I'd tell you to ask me whatever you want to about The Future, but I'm sworn to secrecy. If I tell you anything more, I'll hear a knock on the door from the CIA. Wait a minute! What's that knock I hear? Shit.

I belong to the club of fan which got the AMT model of the TOS Enterprise as a child. But I suspect it was actually the Constellation because the damn nacelles didn't line up properly! I don't blame the builder... Could have used detached nacelles in those kits for less aggravation.
Irrelevant. After the lengths you went to while the first season was airing telling everyone who predicted Lorca was from the MU they were wrong, you don't get to claim four years later that it was "completely telegraphed."
I've been a fan of trek since I was 8 years old, I've 'helped to keep the franchise going for years' as well and I don't think that Trek has been debased in any way shape or form. I'm loving the new additions to canon and seeing my favourite tv franchise brought to life with a modern budget and modern production values. I equally love what came before and paved the way for this new iteration of Star Trek. If you don't like it, fine. But don't you dare presume to speak for all us.
You make a choice to hate new trek, where as I make a choice to find something to enjoy in every series. My life is richer for it.
Was it the blue plastic one?
White with the green sensor dome.
You want me to admit I was wrong, and yet reject that admission when I do.
And I'm not " claiming" anything when I say that Lorca's true nature was completely telegraphed; I'm making a statement of fact.
You're missing the point. Of course Lorca's origin was completely telegraphed, we all saw it almost right away. You were the one who argued with us back in 2017 claiming we were the wrong ones. You have to own that. You don't get to come in after the fact and talk down to people who feel a certain way about it and tell them it was telegraphed when you were literally the only person who didn't see it coming before hand. Having an epiphany on rewatches doesn't change what you posted before the reveal happened.
