Glass houses, Champ.
It is not trolling to point out the realities of the entertainment industry. And I'm not scolding anyone. I know people who very much enjoyed season three of PIC, and more power to them. I wish I liked it. However, I will be staggered if "Legacy" happens and the majority of people whose opinions flipped once we got back to the adventures of the TNG crew won't flip again as soon as those characters are no longer a part of the show. Again, not trolling or scolding, simply a prediction.
And yet somehow it keeps going for long stretches without any new Trek.
Your two links to some small websites where those particular reviewers didn't enjoy the series, one of which based solely on the first two episodes? I could also cherry pick reviews.
Look, I don't know who the "traditional" Star Trek fan is. I know that my old ass has been watching TOS reruns since before TNG was ever announced but I am not going to assume I am the archetypical fan, or assign all Trekkies my personal tastes. Not everyone can share my appreciation for great episodes like "The Way to Eden" and "Sub Rosa" and that's okay; I'm just built different.
But I was a kid when I was watching TOS. I was still a kid when I was watching TNG. And when I was watching TNG as a child, I had all sorts of toys and action figures, as do several of my friends. The idea that the "traditional" Trekkie demographic does not include children is wild.
