I see the trailer, I don't think is the best serie in the world, but I think can be something fun to watch, to nowdays standards that is enough to me really.

I need to watch it to have an opinion, I have the feeling people need to give a chance at least, I did with Voyager despite all the negative critics I saw.

What you think about this?

The first Star Trek that doesn't receive any backlash is the first Star Trek I'm not interested in.

Eh, it should depend on the nature of the backlash, IMO.

Whining about a black lead? Yea, that's good backlash to hate on.

Whining that they've completely remove the intellectualism of Star Trek in favor of drama, nostalgia, and flashy things on screen? Yea, that's totally valid backlash, the kind that got us SNW in the first place.

I don't recall SNW having any significant backlash. Were you not interested in that one?

I dunno', I kindof agree with a lot of their points. Quippy bantering should be reserved for the extroverted characters when it's a near constant thing, and not all characters should be extroverts.

The Disneyficiation of Hollywood is totally valid critique. Not every show needs to have Guardians of the Galaxy levels of quippy banter.

Not to say they ruined SNW with it, but it was pretty noticable. The show is leagues better than Disco or Picard in respecting the nature of Star Trek.
