  “Bad Trek is better than no Trek” was the begrudging opinion for the first season of TNG.

    Lol. That was it. I’m glad TNG had more seasons, getting better and better as time went on.

  Want it 20 years later too? I mean the og crew probably didn’t want to come back

    Yeah. The TOS cast did movies, but there’s a difference between doing a film and doing a weekly series. TOS was comfort viewing, and fans were going to fan in wanting more of the same.

  There were Star Trek fans at the time screaming from the rooftops about how TNG would ruin Star Trek.

  Is this what people had to do to spread their word before the internet?

  Clickbait certainly existed well before clicks did.

  Well, they probably have one point - how many modern Trek fans have even watched TOS?

    Surely most, right?

    I’m a millennial, and TOS was my first introduction to Trek.

      I’ve seen maybe a quarter of the episodes. Seen every other trek episode multiple times.

    A lot, I think. At the time of TNG’s initial broadcast, TOS was omnipresent in syndication. And outside of TAS, the only Star Trek series at the time. Star Trek fans watched the heck out of TOS. Then, the Star Trek movies with the TOS cast. The first four films were released before TNG.

      Friend, I hate to say this, but TNG aired 35 years ago…

        I’m aware. So is the newspaper article this post is about.
