@jondelarroz Agree with this. I remember watch parties in college. We were all excited and cautiously optimistic after the first few episodes. We could tell they were still finding their footing but no one said "not my Trek."
@nerd_cookies It feels revisionist to me. I remember watch parties for TNG when it started. I think we all felt cautiously optimistic after a few episodes. I don't remember a single person saying "not my Star Trek."
@RealEmirHan The ending didn't matter. The horrible and ridiculous CGI dark seekers ruined the movie way before the ending. Which is too bad because it started pretty well.
