My point is that there are people who work there butts off to make an entertaining show and I don't think it is our place to cut it apart due to the little things like music, words, or plot line (I thought the time travel was refreshing and not overbearing). After all it is just a show, made to entertain. It was not made to tell history, or teach chemistry.
Bur Baal, poke and criticize is what we Star Trek fans do
best.
Those of us that have been fans for years really enjoy this kind of thing. It gives us a sense of being a part of a community. And it looked to me like every post in thread had positive as well as negative things to say about the show.
Star Trek is
not just another show. It's Star Trek.
Truth be told I am sure that the people who "worked their butts off" making it would be happy to hear us talking about it. At least that means we are watching it. Even if we don't always agree with the way they are taking "our show" in every circumstance.
One of the things about Star Trek fans that aggravated non Trek fans the most is the way we nit pick the details to death, and then reason out discrepancies between episodes and shows. For example: TOS Klingons had no cranial ridges. Then along comes Star Trek TMP in 1979, and "Klingons got ridges!". Of course it's just makeup. And the real reason for the difference is that in the 60's on a shoestring budget the producers couldn't spend a bunch of money on makeup every week. But Trek fans have had lots of fun over the years discussing the differences, and trying to explain them in a way that would fit with the "reality" of the show.(
