I used to check out the Movies & TV section but stopped doing so a long time ago. It had become the "Mos Eisley" of the forum...
I don't really do social media, I find it just as full of scum and villainy. At times I visit some specific pages on Facebook but those are few and far between.
My comments were simply revolving this particular thread and specifically the topic of the new "Picard" show. I may be mistaken but I think those that had issues with the show stated their reasons, myself included. I don't see the discussion as an "us vs them" type of thing or even an older fan vs newer fan comparison. I see it as how Star Trek has been able to maintain a certain style, a certain direction and a certain theme in each of the previous shows and beginning with Discovery and followed by Picard, that has all been either dismissed or altered as to be unrecognizable. Certain people have issues with that. Certain others welcome the change.
As far as our little slice of the Star Trek pie, here in 1/6 figure land, Nanjin will no doubt be the first to figure out which lines/series/films do well and which do not. To be truthful, I hope Discovery and Picard figures sell well. Without being dismissive, those figures will allow me a financial break to prepare the hobby funds for figures that I do wish to have in the collection. You and the others that want them will be able to collect and enjoy them, in the meantime.
This is the type of discussion I like to have.
Like you I’m seeing I need to avoid other parts of the forum.
I see now I wasn’t clear in what exactly I was addressing. I didn’t mean you or any of the people posting in the last couple days. I apologize for that. Didn’t mean to make anyone think I was targeting them.
