    Seeing as Star Trek Discovery has got many mixed reviews, we have constructed a survey to ask the fans what they would like to see in a Star Trek TV show. Because we want to know what you think. We are hoping that enough people aid us so we can give the fans what they want, a TV show built by them for them. Thank you for your participation.

    You really dont have to look far and wide to see people are displeased with it. Even Official Star Trek facebook page is littered with it.

    Pah! Let the whiners whine.

    It's just the same with the new reboot films, people just cannot accept they are different. Put it this way though, were it not for Star Trek 2009, then there would be no further Trek, even STO would not exist were it not for the reboot films.
    And i feel the same is true for Discovery, if it didn't exist i find it highly unlikely we'd ever get a new Trek show, definitely not in a similar vein to Voyager, DS9 etc.

    I'm just grateful it's back in the public's line of sight and shows and films are being made again. And something like Trek has to evolve to keep itself relevant and interesting for new generations.

    Critics seem to generally like it. I mean there are always negative reviews but most are positive.

    There is no pleasing fans....ever.

    Critics don't pay the bills, fans do, so if there isn't an overwhelmingly positive response from fans, you won't make a tidy profit. You need to listen to the fans to an extent, not the critics Tongue Out

    Also, the survey in the opening post, I am assuming is referring to a mixed response from fans, not critics, the survey is for opinions from fans.

    But no, you can't please all the fans, but you can please a majority, but maybe Discovery was aiming to pull in a new fanbase rather than rely on the older fanbase. That's where the mixed response from fans comes in, they don't feel it matches up with the bits they enjoyed about the old Star Trek shows.

    I actually quite like Discovery, although I also heretically like the Kelvin Timeline movies as well. I grew up on re-runs of TOS, and was ecstatic when TNG came out. I recall the TOS crowd I knew hating the show, and I recall feeling disappointed in the fandom not being willing to let a new approach resonate in their reaction to TNG. I'm having some of those same feelings as I watch the unfolding responses to this new direction in the Star Trek franchise. I'd be hypocritical if I was disappointed in someone simply disliking Discovery - opinions are varied and everyone has a right to theirs. No, I'm disappointed in many of the articulated reasons as to "why" people dislike it, and much of it boils down to "different is bad". A chilling position when considering the underlying philosophy of Star Trek - infinite diversity in infinite combinations.

    On the plus side, I've found that my friends and colleagues who don't consider themselves a part of the broader Trek fandom are watching and enjoying Kelvin Timeline and Discovery in ways that have allowed me to open the door to earlier Trek for them, and that's been a pretty rewarding journey for everyone involved. An opportunity to expand the fan base and live that diversity of opinion is very Trek-y, in my own humble opinion.
