    This is part of what the access media does with Star Trek and all other produtions. Fans don't like Starfleet Academy so they attack us and call
    us names. Jonathan Frakes and Robert Picardo are out actively doing so
    and it's a media opp.

    I read Frakes' actual comments, and he doesn't really blast Star Trek
    fans. He points out that the resistance to each Trek iteration has been higher. He's right. There were objections to ST:TNG and ST:DS9, but
    nothing like the objections to more recent shows.

    At some point there will be more people yelling at them to please stop
    than actually watching the latest show.

    Hmm. I didnrCOt much care for VrCOger, or Disco, or Pick A Card. Strange New Worlds was ok, and Lower Decks, once past the first few episodes of the first season, was excellent. Not as good as TNG or DS9, but far better than Disco.
    I have actively avoided seeing any eps of Starfleet Academy.

    It's a growing movement. People want it to stop altogether. I guess the community still cares about the whole thing. The franchise was epsteined
    so I don't care either way. My breaking point was STD. Picard was
    unwatchable. I won't bother with the shit in production. The premise is sooooooooo fucking stupid.

    Objections to TNG were very minimal. My evidence on it was the sudden
    surge in convention attendance. It grew leaps and bounds during the TNG
    era. Resistence to DS9 came from the fact that it wasn't based on a
    ship. I have friends who still refuse to watch DS9 because none of them consider starfleet politics a compelling story basis. So, to them it's
    all preference.

    I was in the service during DS9's run so I didn't watch it until many
    years later. Rather enjoyed it. It was fun to watch the actors interpret characters who didn't really like or trust each other and learn to work together in a cohesive unit. And, also, characters who didn't want to
    be there to begin with. The acting on that show was really worthy.

    Also, bonus the recurring female actors were eye candy.

    Yeah, forgot about that show. It was quite solid.

    I will give Lower Decks a shot this weekend. Only heard good things
    about it from sources I respect.

    Maybe, just maybe, it'll give a glimmer of hope that my beloved
    franchise isn't truly dead...

    Unlike most trekkies, I also loved star wars. For me, that franchise is
    much more deader-er than star trek.

    There are a bunch of these. Star Trek Phase II is another one I see on YouTube, and there's one about the adventures of a ship called the
    Farragut.
