Harambe? Never mind.
In any case, I can agree with your second statement wholeheartedly...
Tons of fans hated DS9, tons hated Voyager, tons hated Enterprise, tons hated the last couple movies with the TNG crew, tons hated STO. ironically, they were not all the same fans. Many, Many fans hated the JJ Abrams universe, even caused a bit of a schism in the on-line communities.
Ironically, I liked DS9, Voyager, and to a lesser extent Enterprise (could have done with either borg or temporal cold war though). STO to me I hate not because of year, but plot and fleet layout (that fleet layout to me makes no sense whatsoever). I liked *specific* characters of the JJAbrams crew, but I loathed the ship designs and the brewary engine room with a passion.
But no, what killed Star Trek for me is how Paramount and CBS have acted of late. two items stand out.
- Star Trek Discovery: New series would have me estatic normally (Heck, I held a party for the openings of Voyager and Enterprise). But making it a 13 episode season, and then making it for just Americans only on CBS pay service, when everyone else in world can watch on Netflix. Bad.
- Treatment of Fan Film makers. They killed their own fans... Ok, I can certainly see why they might have gone against Axanar... but they sent notice and forced Horizon to shut down, which originally was to use its movie as a launch point to turn itself into a fan series. Their list of requirements for fan films insured practically all existing fan projects would have to shut down or drastically change, and future ones to be abandoned.
So...
While I've looked on line and seen interviews, summaries, and discussions on ship designs, I've not seen the newest movie, I may watch it when it hits DVD. I actually do not intend to bother with the newest series, even though like the newest movie I've seen discussions on what little is known of plot, ships, and stuff. But I'm not bothering because I refuse to pay for a CBS specific service. Though of what I've heard that could actually be interesting if done right.
