Now, I’m 39 years old and I grew up on Trek. I loved the original series, enjoyed the first few movies, loved TNG when it cam on and was absolutely in thrall to Deep Space Nine. Voyager was a step down in quality, IMO, but I still enjoyed it. Then, along came Enterprise…
…I disliked aspects of it right from the premiere. I continued to watch the first season and was more and more disappointed and angry as things went along. IMO, the show was doing a disservice to what had been produced, before. I’d had a life-long love affair with the franchise and worried that ENT was going to sully that.
I watched the first couple of eps of S2, and decided to give up on it, completely. Best thing I ever did. Now, my personal DVD collection consists of every Star Trek series BUT Enterprise. I have years of the franchise to enjoy and dismiss ENT as a bad dream.
I’m going into S4 of Atlantis with the same viewpoint. I’ll likely watch at least long enough to see what happens with Weir and Carson, but if I don’t like what I see and continue to see SGA become more like SG-1 in its feel than it already is, then… CLICK!
No matter what happens with SGA from here on in, if I give up on the new stuff or not, I’ll still have the 3 seasons on DVD that I’ll enjoy again and again. Given that so many people seem disenchanted or downright pi$$ed off what what’s coming, who knows? Maybe some fans will generate alternate S4s and beyond in fanfic…
