so TNG and DS9 were awful and terrible or something?

What, you weren't there for the incessant "Kirk is better than Picard" bickering that basically formed the backbone of the early Internet circa 1990?

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.

There were people at the time who certainly thought so.

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.
