I walked past the television and only stood in the same room with this show for maybe a couple of minutes some years ago.
I’m no Star Trek nerd, but I know that Vulcans are known for two things: being highly logical and emotionally restrained. So when this show introduces a new Vulcan lead who spent her introductory moments with me whining and crying about how the crew doesn’t seem to like her because she is “different”, I had little sympathy for her. I thought her whining was highly inappropriate and didn’t make sense. I also wasn’t too impressed that their spaceship looks like a trendy nightclub rather than an exploratory vessel. I may be more sensitive than most viewers, but I really don’t like the way characters on modern television shows either whine a lot or go into showy displays of superior status to get my attention rather than just being ordinary and good at what they do.
My Dad is less picky than me and is usually the one watching these whiny action shows while I walk past. He was willing to ignore the whiny characters and the status displays, but he gave up when the show went into a lengthy, convoluted fan fiction-style exposition about multiple universes. He didn’t want to deal with that.
