50 Years of Star Trek - RIP

Im just wondering though, this is a nostalgia show. Are kids watching this shit?
I have a ton of kids in my extended family. Anime nerds & manga nerds. Star Wars geeks and Marvel freaks.
All at worrying levels of fandom. I mean they are so in the know for young kids its not the normal passing interest. None of them care about star trek.

Well I was going to see (if it was any good) getting my 12 year old to watch with me. He does not need to see gore porn like that.
Didn’t even occur to me that Picard would have that sort of violence.
And yep, my son watched most of the Marvel and freaking loved the Mandalorian.

@raznomore This is the only forum or subreddit I frequent where I've seen it discussed. I haven't met anyone else in real life who's interested in it, and I'm a STEM academic.
It’s the perfect time in the culture for a show about optimism and working together. The TOS tackled some pretty weighty topics without sacrificing the quality of the show.

Picard is OK - can see how he could have evolved into how he is portrayed, but why does every other "new" character have to be dick?
Yeah, that's getting old. I actually liked the Romulan caretakers from the beginning, not sure why we needed so many new characters when you could have just started with those two.
I think the main point, which is fair, is that Picard was not overly fond of Data. Sure that could have changed with the sacrifice over time, but it is kind of weird. And Picard hated children! Why would he be reading bed time stories to the Ninja?
Anyway, I like space opera TV, and there is less crying than Discovery. And 7 of 9 is a favorite of mine.

Old men either get curmudgeonly or sentimental - they seem to be trying to make Picard both - I love you too Raffi....
C'mon no way.
Yeah, that scene was going great when he looked extremely uncomfortable, then they bailed on it.

@Hooroo here you go
:::
The big WTF is Picard died and put his consciousness into an android body. A body that looks exactly the same, no abilities and will die when they expected him to die in about ten years.
They also killed Data. Again. But only a Quantum simulation of him this time, kind of implying he was in a tortured state of never being about to die in a simulation that he didn’t choose to be revived in.
Also, Riker stopped making Pizza and managed to get the command of the best ship in the fleet in a week and saved the day at the last minute. Sure.
I’m missing stuff but it was drivel and I have a low standard for this stuff.
Go. Fuck. Yourself. Writers of Picard.

@Kirwan Once I saw the 8th episode, and the video game plot reveal, I decided that was enough for me. Guess they were always going to mess up the potential series they had.
You just know they will never mention the android thing again.
I see they have hired a genuine Trek fan as a writer next year. I can live in hope of a soft reboot to clean it up.
