Ep. 19 Star Trek "Generations?" TOS vs. TNG vs. DSC/Picard (Star Trek: Discovery vs. Picard, Part 2)

In the 1990s, it was Kirk vs. Picard. Then, Picard vs. Sisko. Now, entire generations of Star Trek fans are grappling, even arguing over issues of canon and continuity, style and tone, plot and storyline in the current age of Burnham and a far more elderly and frail Picard than the commanding leader of The Next Generation. In PART II of “Discovery vs. Picard,” Moonjumper examines, in a general sense, what may or may not separate whole generations of Star Trek fans: differences between their likes, their dislikes, and their expectations of a half-century old science fiction franchise. Are TOS fans more likely to like DS9 over TNG? Are TNG fans more likely than TOS fans to accept Discovery, but reject “Star Trek: Picard?” Are older fans gatekeepers? Are Discovery fans too dismissive of older fans’ concerns? And can we all get along? Moonjumper, an old school TOS Trekkie, takes a deep dive into the complex issues of “TOS Fans vs. TNG Fans vs. Discovery Fans.”
