They are kids' shows. Most kids' shows aren't too fussy about complex
plotlines, but Thunderbirds' stories do make some sense. :-)

Of course, anything Your Name doesn't like is bad. Everyone should bow
down to Your Name, the last word in all things.
Why don't you go watch your kiddie puppet shows and leave the real
series (like Enterprise) to adults.

He complains about anything he doesn't like (giving childish names to
everyone and everything which he repeats endlessly less we miss the point),
he insults everybody who disagrees with him (only he can be right) and
throws a hissy fit when things don't go his way.
He's a child.

But it was sick. Enterprise's ratings were down regardless of
improvements (being on a third-rate network which died soon after didn't
help), Next Generation couldn't come up with a good movie, and DS9 and
Voyager, which were long gone, wouldn't translate to the big screen.
Of course, the "doctors" celebrated, their job was to make money for
Paramount and the movie did.

Because Star Trek is fiction. Remaking Star Trek doesn't change the
original so your Rembrandt analogy is faulty. Is anyone today doing
Rembrandt-type paintings?

You seem to thrive on insults to others.
I only make observations.
And my latest one is that you have no issue with pissing away money, so
probably have no issue with paying to see movies that stink.

Yup, plenty of people.
And many more appreciate the classic art forms.
.....Of course A.D.D. kids will still prefer a Nikolodeon cartoon poster
because the colors are more vivid.
