I second that.

All tasteful people do.
But, but, but, he's one of the Masters who contributed to Star Trek in the 90s, which means he helped shape the franchise with his own blood, sweat and tears. He worked along side Rick Berman and Brannon Braga, who are apparently now blessed saints who Trek fans are permitted to pray to and name churches after. For him to say anything positive about any of the new shows let alone admitting to liking SNW is an Obscenity Against Gene! My worldview is shattered, my faith broken.
May Gene have Mercy on our souls.
(
)In what corner's of the fandom have you crawled into where this is a thing? :P.
I've lauded ENT since post-ENT (I know, I missed the golden age
) and at best I've seen them talked as overworked and overused.Now, Cotto, on the otherhand, bless him.
Any time Kurtzman is mentioned and people long for the good old days of Berman's consistent running of things.In what corner's of the fandom have you crawled into where this is a thing? :P.

I need to test this claim XD.
Speaking of people, has anyone seen any interesting reactions to SNW?
I've had my interest peaked when watching a reaction to the Halo TV show. Tragedy of a shitshow, but the people watched had no experience with Halo and their thoughts on the story and people were interesting as outsiders.
SNW does absolutely capture the spirit on TOS better than most of the other entries into Trek.
My main issue with SNW is that from S2 it relies a bit too much on the silly plots. I'm totally ok with some silly. One of DSC's weakness was it's utter insistence on being super serious all the time (the best episode the entire series was the Mudd Time Loop episode... which was a rare moment of DSC allowing itself to have some fun), but SNW has been leaning way too heavily into it.
Sprinkle some silly in. Don't spill the container.
This Trek is tooo serious.
This Trek is tooo silly.
This Trek is just right...no wait, I haven't found that one yet

What's the "silly percentage"? They have one or two comedy episodes per season. The majority are serious drama. Even the musical was serious and character driven with the songs exposing thing about the characters that they hoped would remain hidden. It's closer to "The Naked Time" than the "Trouble With Tribbles".
I had problems with the execution. (Was it necessary to have them break into song? It took me out of the episode.)
That's a good take that it's The Naked Tune. But I still call it a silly episode.
So that means last season had three. When you only have ten episodes that adds a lot. (I was told there would be no math.)
... Only if they wanted to make a musical. I'm pretty sure they wanted to make a musical.
I didn't see much silly in it. It was an anomaly of the week episode where souls are bared.
What if we made a musical with no music? That's some Bialystock level thinking!
Reminds me of the scene from Amadeus were he has a ballet performed but the king wanted no more ballet music so they performed without music.What if we made a musical with no music? That's some Bialystock level thinking!
Which means it has no business being made.It had no business being a musical.
It had no business being a musical.
The musical episode had no business being a musical?
I'm a pretty traditional, meat-and-potatoes Trek fan but I liked the musical episode.
I still need a full Kling-Pop song.
That was beautiful.
That was beautiful.
