Which is why I just watch it on my own now. I've given up trying to share experiences or convince people to appreciate things I like.

I like things I like and I share them with others who are willing to share that experience with me .... I'm not going to try to convince anyone.

When it comes to entertainment I won't bother disagreeing much any more .... but when it comes to real life experience, especially war and death, I'll argue and fight.

But when it comes to Star Trek, I'm starting to realize that there is no shortage of friends out there like you who I can enjoy all this with.

My only complaint with you is that you are freaking making me so excited to see more .... you've infected me! What have you done!!!!

I stayed out of the Star Trek fandoms for years because of this. I've always liked Enterprise, and I like the new shows, some more than others, but I've enjoyed all of them at least to some extent. I don't need some jackass telling me why I'm wrong for liking something. (Edit correction - I just couldn't get into Prodigy. I'm sure it's great, but it just didn't work for me.)

I joined a Star Trek Wholesomeposting group on Facebook where belittling the shows or the people that like them is explicitly not allowed. It's great.
