I found their criticism of Picard over the top so far. The series has many flaws, but it's the closest "Trek" to Trek we got in quite a while and it ain't half-bad. Feels undeserved to "Plinkett" it.

Has RedLetterMedia even been relevant anymore for years?

Do you think they're much different than when their first reviews came out?

Its very simple: if you agree that modern Star Trek and Star Wars is shit then Plinkett is still relevant and awesome. If you don't, then he isn't.

I would say that 1.26M subs and 124,000 views on the trailer alone still makes you somewhat relevant regardless.

Aw, have they touched you in inappropriate places? Here, show me where on this puppet...

Maybe so but still. Not that I have been following them mind you.

Personally, I can't wait.

Same. I've only been browsing clips online, and I feel mixed. My impression is that it's cringe, and yet... it's also within the natural character evolution from where TNG left off, with DS9 and the other worlds thrown in, and that this is the genuine show we should say "give it time, let it get better." I had felt STD deserved no such claim. STP absolutely does. RLM is off-base in saying we should have more optimistic ST, and I don't consider STP bold enough in today's market with stuff like GOT making that trendsetting, but it's still a natural continuation, as I see it. I mean, true, I'd prefer once in a while we got an "aw shucks!" country-boy style idealist, but... like I say elsewhere for SW, you just gotta roll with it. I stand by my statement. This seems to be building off the TNG movies, and those had potential. Let's give this time.

I've been giving Trek time since 2009. I am done giving it time. It went from a cheap knock off of Star Wars to a mash-up of the Battlestar Galactica reboot and Blade Runner. When exactly is Star Trek going to return to my screen exactly?
