        It’s worth pointing out that this comment could have been and was made in the 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s, and today.

            What, you weren’t there for the incessant “Kirk is better than Picard” bickering that basically formed the backbone of the early Internet circa 1990?

              Let’s go all the way back to TMP with people indignant about how the Klingons looked. And somehow that got around before there was an internet to go crying to.

            There were people at the time who certainly thought so.

              true. there always are.

              i think that’s quite different from Disney and Paramount, on a production level, trying very hard to overproduce both franchises and try very hard to pander to everyone all at once. Which we know is a surefire way to crash them.

              I guess at least we got Andor though. It’s not all terrible, but it’s mostly pretty bad because they really aren’t like letting creative people do creative things with the franchises and tell compelling stories.

        As with everything else, the franchises have both undergone a shift of quantity over quality, so I haven’t bothered keeping up to date with either.

          Idk, I think Andor was one of the best things the Star Wars franchise has ever created while especially Episode II is borderline unwatchable to me.

          More like less quantity at a lower quality.

          DS9 had 26 episode seasons.

        The thing about that is, regardless of how we feel about the new stuff, we’ll always have the old stuff we loved.

          will we? i mean look at the OG trilogy.

          that said, we are finally getting the theatrical version of Star Wars next year… after not having it for 30 years. completely nonsense that was. it will be nice to have the OG OG trilogy again w/o the stupid CGI crap.
