Speaking of #StarfleetAcademy, I think I'm kinda done arguing with it's haters.
I mean, I usually enjoy a good critical discussion, but most of the time it's just jerks hung up on bits of humor instead of looking at the whole.
"LOOK AT WHAT STAR TREK HAS BECOME: THAT STUPID GIRL ATE HER COM BADGE" or some similar nonsense. I get the impression it goes like this: they've gone into it hating it out of the gate, they saw some cherry-picked moments that seemingly vindicate that expectation.
And... that's about it: they're locked in now, and that's about as deep as it gets.
Meanwhile the show has been going from strength to strength, this week's pulling out one of the best Klingon-focused episodes in a long time.
So yeah, fuck it: these guys aren't arguing against it in good faith. Why should I give energy to them?
I don't see it becoming another Picard S2 at this point. Much more likely it'll be like Enterprise and Voyager: heavily criticized at the time, but eventually it will gain recognition. Hopefully it doesn't take two decades to get there. :P
