    Is there anyone who dislikes Lower Decks? I’d say LD is more equal than the others.

      Yes. There are people on this community who frequently complain about the show. One dude was outright banned because he refused to accept LD as canon or any animated show as canon while being hyper dismissive and aggressive about that stance.

      They’re out there and they’re not that unicorn-esque. They just generally don’t say anything because they don’t want to go against the grain. Same reason why the people who loathe Discovery are multiple factors louder than the fans. Anytime I said I liked Discovery on reddit I got jumped by every Trekkie who claimed that I clearly wasn’t a real fan.

      I couldn’t make it through the first episode because it’s direly inane. Like, it’s aggressively vapid and everything I hear about it reinforces that opinion. I mostly just avoid that stuff so instead of being there making a show of how much I hate that show, I’m just… not? I think that’s maybe why you think we’re unicorns: could be you just don’t see us because we don’t hang out around the thing you expect to see us disliking. Kinda makes sense from another perspective, I think.

      That or the rest all got banned or bullied out or something for having unapproved feelings regarding series deemed important. Idunno. Kinda tired of it being a religious issue.

      I really dislike lower decks. I find it annoying and lacking in ideas. I feel exactly the same about Final Space the previous show by the creator.

      That said I don’t think it’s bad or not very “Star Trek”. It just completely grates on me.

      To contrast I really like TOS, TNG, and DS9. I thought VGR and ENT felt “Star Trek” but badly written. DSC and PIC are badly written and don’t feel “Star Trek” to me. I’ve herd the final PIC season is pretty good so I’ll give it a shot at some point.

      Yes, it’s the least Star Trek I’ve seen so far. I couldn’t make it past maybe the 2nd or 3rd episode. Much preferred Final Space if we’re going for that kind of show.
