When the guy who hates on 95% of the stuff you like finally likes something you have an affection for it's not exactly a ringing endorsement.
I can even recognize the flaws in the Trek I like that he doesn’t. But I can also recognize flaws in what he likely considers the golden age of Trek. And frankly, I think it just comes down to a matter of taste.
But the difference is: if I don’t end up liking Picard season 3, I’m not going to shout from the rooftops how it’s the worst thing ever and that it’s ruined the franchise. I may be critical but I’ll keep that criticism in check. Kinda how I roll.
