I'm sorry. I guess I'm an OS Trek person with it's optimism and style. I just can't get into the new grim dark Trek. The awful Space Orcs. The lack of vision. The dull cynical conspiracy bullshit. Why can't anybody do Trek with out fucking it up and selling out?

As for The Orville? If it wasn't for the confused god awful cartoonish design I could appreciate it more.

The Expanse is terrific, however.

The Expanse is such a fucking slog. Like, seriously, just fucking kill the main characters because we don't give a fuck about them anymore.

Also, wasn't Star Trek: Enterprise a ST:TOS prequel? So it has two prequels now?

And can we watch without paying for CBS's service?

Vote with your wallet. One show is not worth $6 per month.
If you really want to watch, pay for 2 months, November and February, and binge watch all of the episodes those 2 months.
