    Okay, you don’t value the tone of pre-Kurtzman Trek. Great, it’s your series and IP nobody cares about anymore at this point, you won. Enjoy Holly Hunter’s The Magicians in space. I liked a prior version of the IP, which in my humble opinion was better via being actually popular.

      If I based my esteem for things on how popular they are, I’d have never gotten into Star Trek. It was decidedly unpopular with my cohort at the time.

      For what it’s worth I adore old school Trek. Just like I think it would be dumb to judge someone for being comfy or exuberant, I also wouldn’t judge someone for preferring a reserved demeanour like dear old Picard.

      I also remember Geordi building model ships in engineering and running off to play with Data on the holodeck, so I don’t really see an incompatibility between the eras.

      I mean, look at this scene. Is it really that far off from Tilly dropping her enthusiastic F bombs?
