MODERATORS
So your contention is that the third and fourth seasons of Discovery are a prequel to...something?
Which makes it a prequel? Your argument is that the default setting is "prequel."
But okay, prequels are bad and sequels are bad, so I guess we need to pick one episode of "old Trek," and all future series and films should occur simultaneously with that episode.
Sighs. For a moderator I have to say this is poor form.
You’re putting words into my mouth, putting up straw man args, misinterpreting my statements and not really caring to try to engage with my side of the discussion all while being unnecessarily aggressive for what is a difference of opinion.
I hope you’re just in a bad mood.
But to clarify … it’s simple … leaning into old IP vs coming up with new IP.
I think there’s been too much of the former and not enough of the latter. I fear this new thing will continue that trend. Your argument about “default setting” is basically the same thing I’m saying where I think the interest in anything that can be directly tied to anything TNG and earlier is the “default setting”.
Don’t know where you pulled that from. It’s literally the opposite of what I’m saying. Really not sure what’s going on here.
And TBH, I’m going to report this, whatever that means in this situation. You’re being a moderator factors into my decision to do so.
The literal words out of your literal mouth.
And spare me the concern trolling bullshit.
Are you trying to say that I can’t clarify my sentiment or why I think something and so once I say one line everything I say has to be blind to its strict and literal meaning?
It’s not like a preponderance of leveraging older IP can’t make someone tired of prequels (which were the first words out of my mouth).
Or, if you’re trying to counter my criticism that you’re putting words in my mouth. Well your quote is from a couple of posts earlier … you were replying to a different post with different words.
What’s funny is that I’m not trolling, and accusing me of that in this rude way only exacerbates this.
