I'm a bit shocked that ST:P was rated so lowly by so many...and in a strongly disparaging way...but without many specifics to complain about. OK: Let's start with the basics. Acting quality. Who were the weak actors in this series? Anyone blithely out of character? Didn't think so. Plot lines. Boring plots? No intrigue? Deals with unimportant issues? Nope. Too hip, modern, aka cursing. It's not up to the fracking level but was the cussing over the top or way out of line or inappropriately used to emphasize a point? I didn't think so. Wokeness. Yup: Plenty of woke topics and woke actions. Gosh, can we discuss inter-species / inter-racial / inter-sexual situations on ST, ST:TNG, ST:V, ST-DS9, etc? Should ST stay away from topics like AI self-determination, immigration status and treatment, sexuality, treatment of aliens? That wouldn't be in keeping with ST's history. This is still well-worn territory for ST.
Is it bad the feel of ST:P's two seasons were based on all-or-nothing outcomes like TNG: All Good Things (certainly), or V: End Game? In particular in the 2nd Season, the entire plot revolved around Picard but you didn't know exactly what needed to happen / be proven. It wasn't all pretty or pat. Were things too Woke at the end? Did too many get their hearts broken by a foreshowed but not ST:V consistent change of sexual preferences by one of the main characters? Is that the basis for the crying and complaining? Regardless, anyone claiming the series didn't involve Picard is missing a positronic synapse or two.
What would Roddenberry complain about here? I saw lots of pretty women in some amazing outfits so check! Seriously.
ST:P. Anytime I can get to see this acting quality I'm fully in. I didn't think the modern touches were way out of line (it's not like the entire series was set in the 1400s). Too much mayhem? Too much blood? Not in a grossly gratuitous fashion. So much complaining without clear target locks.
