Let’s go all the way back to TMP with people indignant about how the Klingons looked. And somehow that got around before there was an internet to go crying to.

No, what are you, like 70?

true. there always are.

i think that's quite different from Disney and Paramount, on a production level, trying very hard to overproduce both franchises and try very hard to pander to everyone all at once. Which we know is a surefire way to crash them.

I guess at least we got Andor though. It's not all terrible, but it's mostly pretty bad because they really aren't like letting creative people do creative things with the franchises and tell compelling stories.
