Did Picard kill your love of Star Trek?

I didn't watch season 2, but I felt similarly to Mike. I watched TNG on my own some time after the first season of Picard, and couldn't look at him the same way on the older show. I mean, I'd see the Picard on TNG everyone liked, a strong, powerful, bold leader that everyone admired and looked up to. Someone people treated like the "dad" figure of the show.

And then to see him reduced to a pitiful old man whom nobody seems to remember as a hero, whom nobody respects at all, with a reedy voice and crumbling in submission to every bitch on the new show (because honestly, almost all the women on the new show were bitches).... it was hard.

Star Trek was one of my most favorite things growing up and in my young adulthood but it left me long before Picard premiered.

Nah. They're so far removed from one another I can't hardly see them as the same character at all. Star Trek Nemesis did far more damage for me. Once I did a lot of research into Star Trek and learned about all the different creative teams and show runners over the years, and the turmoil that came with that, I came to realize that there's always going to be incredibly different takes on the material. And most of it not to my liking. Old Star Trek will always have a special place in my heart.

It was death by a thousand cuts for me. The cuts started in DS9 and VOY. I abandoned Trek with ENT. That is when it really died for me. My hope for something better kept me tuning into new series but each of them was so much worse than ENT that I almost like ENT now.

The deterioration of Star Trek over the decades has left me only caring about the original 1966-1969 series, which is pure. One day maybe I'll be back in the mood to see "The Next Generation" again, but I'm not sure. Those who run Star Trek today have gone too far trying to mold it to present-day ideological fads about which I couldn't care less. I suppose it's still fun for people who are into that stuff, but they've lost me.

Why did you watch Picard then? Just check out the reviews like I do. If they hate it, I'll hate it too, and that's fine with me.

No, that happened when they retroconned the Kiingon Emprire away. But when I heard that they had now retroconned away the Romulan Empire, that shit canned a chance to bring my fandom back to life.

Took a lot of work to get me to drive me away. But they put in that work. And then some.

It all started with Enterprise.
To be fair, I really enjoyed the first season of STD, but it completely fell apart in the following seasons.
Picard was crap from the getgo.
Orville is also crap - I was hoping for a legit parody, but it was utter woke crap like the rest of the new ST tv shows, with horrible writing, characters, etc. That's the thing with all these new shows - woke, crappy writing/characters. I wonder if they got an AI writing these things? That would explain much.
