Old Star Trek fans: don't you sometimes get happy just because there are new series?

And how did that work out for you?
Not really, I feel many are regressive.instead of progressive like they claim. I am not talking about politics. It seems they want to rewrite stuff or continue what has already been done like with Picard. I rather see new characters going forward instead of going back. I hope anyone who enjoys them don't take this personally. It's not my intent.
Spamming
No. I can't wake the dead me dreaming.
In early 1970s my parents bought me the Star Trek dolls - Kirk, Spock and the Russian dude. Every time I look at them they remind of being locked in the attic with the dolls and mothballs. I remember specifically having to take the little yellow coat off of Kirk to be careful not to damage the velcro at the neck, and tuck the dolls away in the corner so the moths won't find them.
My father never liked Star Trek. One night I was asleep and he woke me up and then knocked me out. I spent the next ten years living in the attic playing with the dolls at watching a static UHF TV. When Star Trek would air, my father would connect the antenna to the line out the roof so that was my only connection to reality.
After the accident it got worse. The 1980s were spent in the attic, subsisting entirely on pancakes and pizzas as that was all that would fit through the bottom of the attic door. When I was finally exposed to TNG in my 30s I was amazed that people could replicate food so obviously I was attracted to the microwave. After I put my fathers revolver into the microwave it became clear that I need to use a toaster.

Fine.
I'll assume the sport didn't take a multi-year break which wouldn't have changed anything.
Assume what you will.
You got to live entirely on pizza & pancakes for a decade and have the audacity to complain?

Okay, I have spoken to you already about this, now it’s time for a formal warning for spamming.
In the future please try to be on topic and make at least minimal sense.
I don't understand - I am a victim of domestic abuse and Star Trek OST got me through a decade of torment and you're telling me to be quiet? For shame.
Way late to the party but as someone who was a bit too young to see Trek's golden age, I too am happy for the new shows, even if not all of them click for me, cuz new fans mean new eyes onto the classics anyway. I dunno how many people who started w Lower Decks because "haha Trek adult cartoon" but then actually got invested in the mythos., nor how many kiddos today will look up VOY in five years bc of Prodigy. All of that is a good thing, IMO.
I won't lie, even I was hesitant to get a P+ subscription solely for Trek and if I wasn't already a lifelong Bold and the Beautiful fan, not even PIC would have been enough to get me subbed back in 2020.
i have a problem with the awful drawing - does that count?
... lucifer is as real as greek gods, so that it is not
german tv dubbed it for kids (okay teenagers) so your trek wasn't mine (it now is, though)
devoted yes - old nope

Just…stop.
Agree with this. I am taking a break from new Trek now. I’m quite content with TOS to DS9 frankly. I just don’t think I particularly like the current style of tv and filmmaking. I don’t much care for the current crop of any of the old franchises I loved growing up, from Trek to Star Wars to Doctor Who, Ghostbusters, and so on.
I’m only 45, but admittedly I feel like I’m in my 80’s. What can you do.
Trolling
Well, you can buy an old fashioned VHS and a CRT style TV, good luck with that. Component cables are pretty easy to come by however and unless you have a photon torpedo in your head you should be able to figure it all out at your local "Ferengi" market (that's slang for ghetto flea markets filled with undesirables (the Feregni are Star Trek version of Jews, it is a fact and the mods won't let you know the truth)).
I still own one. So what's the issue. It still works, still watching things on VHS. My kids know how to use it, and how to rewind. We also stream.
Why ditch a tech just because something newer came along?
You're living the dream bro! don't stop. Nothing better than a VHS out of an hustler mag, no disagreement here mate.
