    I guess what I’m saying is, we don’t gotta all like it, but Disco fans are Trek fans and we gotta be nice to em, they’re here for largely the same reasons we are and, hey, maybe one day they’ll go back and learn that the best Trek is Deep Space Nine.

    I’ve said many times that the best Trek is the Trek you like the most.

    I remember when TNG was “bad Star Trek.”

    I remember when DS9 was “bad Star Trek.”

    I remember when Voyager was “bad Star Trek.”

    I remember when Enterprise was “bad Star Trek.”

    And you will find people who name any one of those as their favorites.

      All Star Trek is bad Star Trek until it has aged a few years. It’s like whiskey, you gotta let the angels have their share first.

        I can’t remember where I saw it, some Star Trek documentary, but it was pointed out that the Star Trek people first watched and grew up with tended to be their favorite one.

          The same is true for music, types of movies, and pretty much anything else entertainment related as well. For the most part people like familiar things.

      Star wars prequels were “bad star wars movies” and now they’re looked on favorably.

      A generation from now, the force awakens trilogy might not be “bad star wars”

      Oh I promise I’m being flippant about DS9 being the objective best, but you’re right.

      Disco tried something different and that worked for some and didn’t work for others. That’s alright. Hopefully they can learn from what worked and what didn’t and we can all have more future Trek to enjoy because of it.
