    Yeah, but none of that.

    Classic trek is about the stories, good nice characters, ships I could actually love in. Modern trek is a dark CGI fest with lots of pew pew and member berries and lens flares

    Characters behave like they never did before, or plain non sensical (Borg queen singing in a night club, cringe, seven of nine went from calm and reasoned person to a ninja mass murderer who dgaf, crusher would disobey orders to save the lives of enemies, now just double taps, I could go on) or are extremely unlikable (hello Michael something something who always knows and can do everything because space jesus) to fuck fuck fuck fuck fuckerdy fuck fuck fuck fuck, because in TNG they too once said merde, so this is fine. In Picard season 1 all characters are basically murderers by the end, yaaaaayyyy trek ethics!

    The ships are just godawful dark places that bang and clang to walk through, computer interfaces are painfully bad, and the techno babble that at least was rooted in some reality now is “just think what you want and it will do it” wtf.

    Camera work is all over the place, always dark and broody,

    Stories are nonsensical and lack the ethics/morals that the classic trek episodes used to have…

    But yeah, I’m just ruling against something new, that must be it

      You’re literally doing that and don’t seem to realize it.

        And you literally need to read, because it’s literally not about anything new.

            … I’m not sure if you’re trolling, though I’m pretty sure you are.

            I’m not going to repeat myself
