Star Trek: Discovery S3E12 "There Is A Tide..."

I haven't actually watched the new show or anything (no untagged spoilers in this thread, please), but this is the general vibe that I get from reading comments from people who have.

I feel there was a targeted campaign against this show before it even came out. So many videos appearing in my algorithm saying how bad it was and how it’s doomed and how it’s failed etc.

I’ve already found it better than Discovery. And it’s not as bad as I was expecting. It’s still fast paced and wish it would slow down a little, and if the camera could stay still for more than 1 second that would be great.

But besides that, is decent.

    There's a targeted campaign against every new Trek series.

    From the very beginning. People back in the day were complaining that not only was this Patrick Stewart some poncy theatre bloke instead of someone with real television experience, but he was bald, for goodness sakes.

    Except that they were correct at being skeptical, and season 1 TNG was crap. Huge improvement came already in season 2, and people started liking it.

    How many series has NuTrek had? How many total seasons? Yeah, it's still complete garbage to this day.

    Though it wasn't bad because Patrick Stewart was a theatre actor, nor because he was bald. The issues tended to be more with Roddenberry's rules against having interpersonal conflict amongst the crew, or scripts that weren't very good/not written with the TNG crew in mind.

    How many series has NuTrek had? How many total seasons? Yeah, it’s still complete garbage to this day.

    That is a matter of personal opinion, though. People clearly like it enough that we got multiple shows in the current run, rather than it being put away and forgotten about.

    LOL I didn't mention NuTrek. Enterprise, for example, had a LOT of people screaming about how bad it was. It's when I gave up on the Trek fandom - I was tired of the negativity. Like this.

    Enterprise wasn't good. That's where a lot of problems started. However, in comparison to NuTrek, it's significantly better still.

    Really? I think the show’s so gosh darn horny in that disgusting Rick Berman way all the time that I’d take almost anything over it.

    Those videos really exploded in my feed about a week before it came out, and none of them has seen it yet. I don’t know if it’s coordinated or if it’s just the inevitable response of the algorithm rewarding topical hate mongering, but it’s a painfully obvious grift either way.

    Yeah I went to watch one as its title and thumb seemed definitive like they had watched the previews or something. Started watching and it was clear they had not seen anything besides stills.

    People having standards = grifting. Right.

    People with standards wait to see a show before they judge it.

    Hey, you know science is all about prediction, right? Once a pattern emerges you can create a model for what to expect. Since the showrunners haven't changed expecting something different each time would be... The definition of insanity. And there is plenty to pick up from trailers and preview clips that it's going to be the exact same garbage we'll always expect from these same showrunners.

    How about applied science? You've deduced you wont like a show, now what do you do with that fact? If you maybe spend three or four minutes letting everyone know you wont be fucking with this show and then move on to other things, I totally respect you.

    But if you put out multiple forty minute videos of you pouring over every frame of each two minute trailer so you can froth at the mouth about someone wearing glasses or a Jem’Hadar having tits, you're just eating up bandwidth that could be spent on something meaningful.
