It's a growing movement. People want it to stop altogether. I guess the
community still cares about the whole thing. The franchise was epsteined
so I don't care either way. My breaking point was STD. Picard was
unwatchable. I won't bother with the shit in production. The premise is
sooooooooo fucking stupid.

Objections to TNG were very minimal. My evidence on it was the sudden
surge in convention attendance. It grew leaps and bounds during the TNG
era. Resistence to DS9 came from the fact that it wasn't based on a
ship. I have friends who still refuse to watch DS9 because none of them
consider starfleet politics a compelling story basis. So, to them it's
all preference.

I was in the service during DS9's run so I didn't watch it until many
years later. Rather enjoyed it. It was fun to watch the actors interpret
characters who didn't really like or trust each other and learn to work
together in a cohesive unit. And, also, characters who didn't want to
be there to begin with. The acting  on that show was really worthy.

Also, bonus the recurring female actors were eye candy.
