To me, this 2 minute video is better than anything Alex Kurtzman has done

It is possible to say you like something without shitting on somebody else you know?

 

[Sketcher]

Boring.

 

[Macintosh]

Bit late to the party on this one aren't you? It's been out for almost a year.

Definitely. If this is too abrasive how do I delete it?

Dude. It's Star Trek. We're all late to the party. Meaning, we're here discussing a show that came out in 1966. Saying anyone is 'a bit late to the party' is kind of silly no? I mean, you'd have to delete 98% of the threads on here with that philosophy.

New member to be fair. Plus, he’s right, most of the stuff we discuss is decades old so…

Comparing one Trek to another is done here every day.

It's not a competition.

Agreed.

But there is a way to do it without getting people’s hackles up.

I don't think it's a competition. There is good and there is not good.

Try ‘objective’ and ‘subjective’.

TOS good.

TNG not good.

DISCOVERY good.

Picard mixed.

ENT not good.

SNW good.

I shy away from a lot of boards and reddit because you have to be careful how you step around stating your opinion. It's an opinion. I love Star Trek to death. I'm obsessed with it. I passionately dislike modern Trek and what's happening with the franchise. That doesn't mean I like Trek any less or more than anyone else and it shouldn't offend.

 

[David's Planet]

TOS good.

TNG not good.

DISCOVERY good.

Picard mixed.

ENT not good.

SNW good.

So you just go around stoking fires with new people?

Not at all. I'm demonstrating that "good" Trek is subjective.

In my opinion, ST 2009 is one of the best Trek films out there, and Discovery has an incredible demonstration of the growth humans are capable of.

Each of us values different things on Trek. I'd be hard pressed to say a two minute clip is better than anything produced in the three films, and 4 shows over the last 10+ years.

Competition is pointless. I'd rather hear why the scene speaks so deeply to you.

Maybe merge this with the controversial opinions thread?

 

[Nerys Myk]

Rod Roddenberry is a producer on all the "Kurtzman Shows".

 

[Tosk]

Agreed.

He merely said that it was his personal opinion that one thing was better than the others. I completely agree with you in general on this, but there's also being way too sensitive in the other direction. If someone says they don't like something you do like, it's not necessarily a personal attack.
