   To be honest, I would like to give them the benefit of the doubt. Being   
   ST-hooked from the TOS, I think all versions are good and bad (DS9 Realm   
   is my favourite) and even Discovery has it's place. Although I must   
   admit that the scenery and star ships internal setups are a bit   
   confusing, if not outright weird - unless the newer versions are more   
   designed to match the JJ Abrams timeline. They definitely do not work   
   with the "classics" (up to and including Voyager).   
      
   For PICARD: For me a total waste of time. The whole series looks like   
   what would have worked in the past as one episode and blew it up to a   
   series.  From that point of view, it can only get better.
