You and I must watch very different series and read different books.They have to ask those who are responsible for today's Star Trek movies, series and books.

Or can it have something to do with having different taste?You and I must watch very different series and read different books.
Doom and gloom is a highly specific color. It makes it sound like nothing is good, so I can't see how that just comes down to taste.Or can it have something to do with having different taste?
One mans goldmine is another mans trashcan.
One would hope that if one finds it to be trash one would move on.One mans goldmine is another mans trashcan.
That does not happen at the TrekBBS.
But if there's nothing to move on to?
There always is.But if there's nothing to move on to?
Well, I can still watch NCIS occasionally when I have nothing else to do even if I don't like the new characters.
I can always start a NCIS relaunch with the original crew (13 seasons) on DVD.
Or a CSI NY or The X-files relaunch.
I can re-watch TOS, TNG, DS9 and the first three seasons of Voyager again.
And re-read A Stitch In Time.
Not to mention some other books as well about my favorite rock bands and listen to Iron Maiden!
And of course listen to James Darren's hit song Goodbye Cruel World while looking intensively on the picture below and imagine that it really is Odo who plays the occarina on the song!

Star Trek: Picard is no more doom-and-gloom than Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
DS9, need I remind you, starts with a flashback to the horrific massacre of thousands of Federation citizens and the death of the main character's wife. It then continues by showing us a planet that has just been brutalized by decades of occupation and is on the verge of civil war, a space station in shambles, and a commanding officer who doesn't want to be there. Its climax is reached when the main character is forced to relive the death of his wife over and over and over again.
People did indeed used to say DS9 was all doom-and-gloom when they were dissing it compared to TNG.
Well, sure, if you include the entire Dominion War - but most of them were just statistics not characters we knew.
This is probably just me, but I don't like the pacing of Picard. It's one crisis after another, not much chance to get to know the characters. I am only about halfway through season 2, though now I'm distracted by watching season 5 of The Crown - as Charles and Diana fight the battle of the century.

Some people here haven't watched Lower Decks, or Prodigy or Strange New Worlds
Also it hasn't been called CBS All Access in several years.
Children of Time.
Granted, a planetary population only around 8000 people, and not so much 'wiped out' in the conventional sense as 'erased from time' and 'were never supposed to exist in the first place'. But still.
(By the way, they must have been breeding fairly well to go from 50 to 8000 in 200 years. That's slightly over 4 kids per couple over 7 generations.)
Avery Brooks being done with Hollywood is not by "his" choice. It's more like Hollywood is done with Avery, for whatever reason. Can't believe he got no acting assignments or offers after DS9, per IMDb. Yet, he apparently has been blacklisted for reasons yet to be revealed.
In an interview with Michael Dorn (Worf) on the Shuttlepod, he intimated that there was some sort of tension with Avery on the sets of DS9, which may have led to him being blacklisted with Hollywood execs, but he didn't bother to elaborate what those attitudes/incidents were.
