Thank you. That means a lot. She was the best little girl, and it was an honor to give her such a beautiful life. She filled me with joy everyday, and I will miss her always.

Hello sir -- so sorry your journey has been so difficult, and our deepest sympathies for the loss of your canine companion.

"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by incompetence." --Hanlon's Razor I can understand Matt's perspective on my perspective. I can dig it. It's just Michael Chabon is a Hugo, Nebula, and Pulitzer Prize winner and Akiva Goldsman is an Oscar winner. Hanelle Culpepper has a great love and affection for the work she did with this show. I'm willing to accept that my point of view is shortsighted. But I also have trouble believing that they are incompetent. Then again, not even Michael Jordan made all the shots... The stuff in the show that I loved -- I LOVED! Unfortunately, it's outweighed by the stuff that I didn't like, didn't care about, didn't understand, or things that outright rubbed me the wrong way. On the plus side -- the finale didn't have any murders in it! We're making progress!

I just finished the finale. I liked this show despite its many flaws. A post in r/startrek hit it on the nose for me. Star Trek has grown up with me. When I was really young I watch TOS and loved it the same way I loved Buck Rogers. TNG came around when I was in middle school but I didn’t really watch it until high school and beyond. I watched the series finale onboard a US Navy warship. I wasn’t yet 21 and still filled with idealism. Picard was like a father figure to me. And he still is. Now I’m 44 and have a pacemaker. Life has been hard. Lots of losses. My idealism is gone. A dangerous liar runs the country I once bled for, and the future right now is not bright at all. So now I have Discovery, which directly mimics that dark place we find ourselves. And Picard reiterates it perfectly. I’m a changed man. My life has not been easy. Like Picard, I see the world as something that has gone down a path that I don’t like. So he gets his chance for one more shot at making things right, and he succeeds. But there are losses along the way. There are always losses. The reason I didn’t watch the finale until today is because my dog died yesterday morning. And I’ve been too heartbroken to do much of anything. Always losses. Look, the series is severely flawed, terribly flawed I would even say. But for this broken man, it reminds me that life is forever changing, and rarely for the better. Perhaps people with better lives can only see the negative in the show because it lacks idealism. I know that most people haven’t had the challenges people like me and the characters of Picard have had (I, too, have an estranged adult son, for example), so most people probably see it through different eyes. Perhaps their idealism is still intact. In that case, I can see how people can feel like Star Trek has changed into something they do not recognize. In short, this new mentality makes me no longer angry at the naysayers. I see Star Trek from my life’s view, others see it from their own. For me, it is exactly in line for how shitty life can be. This also explains why TNG is no longer my favorite television show of all time. That mantle has gone to The Expanse because it, too, reiterates the truth of struggle. It is far closer to my journey now as the man I have become.
