I've never been sure if ST:TNG season 1 was insulting the viewer or insulting itself with the viewer as collateral damage. Either way, you have a point about it being many more hours of bad.

Most of the suckiness of the first season can be laid right at the door of the WGA strike going on at the time. They were pretty much scrambling for any possible scripts, so that meant that a lot of shit was green-lighted that possibly wouldn't have been otherwise.

I say "possibly", given that I'm keeping in mind that Threshold exists and there sure wasn't a writer's strike going on to excuse that piece of shit.

But I still love Star Trek, despite its missteps because the franchise still did so much for science fiction television and is such a survivor, despite all the crap that's been thrown at it over the decades. It's got heart, it's got lofty ideals, and it's explored ground that no mainstream SF really ever had before.

Of course, I also kinda enjoyed STiD. It wasn't the most brilliant film ever, but it was fun to watch and I had a good time doing so. People not liking it is fine and dandy, but please don't assume that you speak for everyone in the fandom, or that liking or not liking the movie reflects anything about those fans other than that they liked or didn't like a movie. Fandom's already riddled with more than enough in-fighting and stupidly elitist shit, thanks.

The writers strike coupled with them not having their footing yet as a show. And yet I love it, even the first season with its bad.

I'm going to assume that last paragraph was aimed not at me but the thread in general.

Sorry I'm so late to the party, but one of the reasons I've been not getting around to properly watching all TNG's 7 seasons is precisely because I know how teeth-grittingly awful season 1 is. D:
