A Negative Review

That's not a review, that's a rant.
He goes on and on for more than 6 minutes about how the franchise has lost it's way ("cultural vandalism" I believe he calls it), and has none of the virtues of the preceding incarnations.
But, he's right.
There's absolutely nothing enjoyable about Picard (I haven't wasted my time with Season 2) or Discovery (I watched season 2 just because of Anson Mount - not wasting my time on 3). They are preachy, pushy, obnoxious shadows of what Trek was, and are overwhelmed with special effects and flimsy plot lines.
Like him, I'm done. I don't care. I'd rather watch reruns of "Friends" - and I've never seen ANY of that show.

I mostly stopped watching Star Trek in the 1990's.
If you compare it to Babylon 5 or The Expanse, it's kind of laughable. Even the remake of Battlestar Galactica....

Same here. Never did anything after TNG.

The BG remake gets universal praise. I found that it kind of lost its way after 2 seasons, and the ending with all the "Surprise Cylons" was, imo, ridiculous. It's almost as though the writers ran out of ideas and said, "Let's just get fucking weird, it's the last season, and we are out of fucks to give."

Yeah, that was pretty silly. The last season of B5 wasn't great either, but I think that was mostly due to the fact that there was so much uncertainty about whether there'd be one.
Also, Tracy Scoggins was a terrible replacement for Ivanova. Just terrible.
