I'm sorry but I have a hard time respecting anyone trying to correct me about what canon is when they can't spell the word.
Yes, I know what you're saying, and I'm telling you why I disagree with it. I'm also amazed that you don't understand that saying "I'm willing to bet most fans would" is also completely subjective. It's literally the same thing racists use to base their incredibly narrow views; the idea that because they think something, other people do as well. Now let me be clear, I am most certainly not implying you've said or done anything racist, ever. I'm just talking about a general cognitive lack of empathy.
You're just spewing your personal opinions, without any reasoning for them. I don't see a point in continuing the conversation.
Yeah, my phone autocorrected from canon to cannon. That doesn't change the fact that it is not the same as serialization.
If you want evidence that fundamentally changing Lower Decks from a serialized to adventure-of-the-week show would piss people off, I obviously can't prove that, but funny enough, a show you brought up did try something like this: South Park. They tried serialization for a few seasons, which ended with the disastrously bad, "member berries," storyline. The final episode of that season is actually called The End of Serialization as We Know it.
Anyway, maybe you're right; maybe people want to watch Boimler whine about the captain not noticing him for 10 seasons. I doubt it though. We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. Either way, your comments are becoming increasingly weird and pedantic and I'm losing my patience for it, so I'm just gonna stop here before I say something I regret. Have a good one.
