This is really pretty much a "get off my lawn" thread, but I don't care.

Exactly, which means something different than it does today. Today it's "whatever product with the Star Trek brand on it." Much different than the hunger for those same 79 episodes and more time with the characters within. We already knew the quality of them and looked forward to the reunion movies. Movies we looked forward to not because "new Star Trek product" but because the were reunions. More Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Uhura, Sulu and Chekov.

It wasn't "I have to watch/like it because it's called Star Trek." Again: one show. And that made out little club, well, little. And that was the exciting part.

I have zero issues with people who look at the entire franchise that way. Actually, I wish I felt the same way they did. But I haven't gotten legitimately excited for new Star Trek in decades.

That's indicative of out Social Media/Internet mindset as a society. Not to mention that people are just more easily angered these days. But on social, you can tell by the comments, the parroting sentence structure and profile pictures that a lot of these people are socially disadvantaged.

In person interactions with fans for me as always been a much more positive and rewarding experience (I'd probably have a great time with some of you folks on this thread). Before conventions were big business for studios, I went often and loved it.
