    Buddy, are you trying to make me pull an extra-ocular muscle from how hard my eyes just rolled?

    If you like one aspect of the franchise you don’t need to whine about another not being to your taste to express that. I don’t shit on ENT every time I want to talk about DS9.

      I don’t understand this view. Sure, they don’t need to criticize one aspect of a franchise when they praise another, but why shouldn’t they? Must praise and criticism remain always separate? If you feel DS9 is better in some respect to ENT, I don’t see any issue with you contrasting the two.

      Steve Shives, for example, dislikes the second season of Picard, and in his review of a recent episode of Strange New Worlds, that was brought up. He praised the episode of SNW while criticizing the season of Picard. Is that so bad?

      You may not be comfortable addressing that specific example, but in general, what is the issue with contrasting things one likes with things one doesn’t like within a single episode, a season, a series, a franchise, or pop culture at large?
