“Since Norm has arrived we now have analysis that is nothing but bad impressions and weak fan fiction. Neither John nor Norm focus on the story as written. Just what they wish it could have been. Occasionally they still make good assessments so I still try to listen but, seriously, it’s turning into two geeks gushing over each other about their own in-jokes and, as noted, weak fan fiction aspirations. And, really, REALLY, you had to throw ‘woke culture’ into your DS9 love? Really? (Valiant, episode 407). Disappointing.
That’s just my criticisms. I do mostly like the show. We’ll produce. And, occasionally now, there are some good insights. Nothing to make me reconsider an episode, as we had with TOS and TNG, but somewhat interesting. Maybe it’s my own dim view of DS9 (though I have like it better upon rewatch this third time). I am trying to remove such prejudice, cuz I agree with John’s comments on IDIC. I’m trying!
I still support … but enough with the fan fiction!”
