It looks like the review embargo has been lifted, so as usual, feel free to share any reviews you come across in the comments.

    I’ve been editing the above comment to include more as I’ve been finding them.

    There are several YouTube reviews too (in addition to the TrekCulture video above and the Jessie Gender one linked elsewhere), mostly from people who at a glance don’t seem like they’ve seen it or who have been pre-hating it for months (Dave Cullen, Critical Drinker, and downhill from there.)

    Just to not exclude them entirely, here’s one from a guy I’m not familiar with who didn’t like it much but at least doesn’t seem to broadly hate modern Star Trek:

    But for most of the channels that are just screaming blind outrage in their thumbnails, I’ve been blocking them as I spot them, so I’ll leave that as an exercise to someone else should they care to round them up for some reason.

      Yeah, good call - I think it should be self-evident that links to the online hate machine are not allowed here. We all know the usual suspects, and they’re generally not hard to spot.

        Yep. Sounds like a good policy.

        And good to distinguish between someone just not liking something and someone who’s just determined to hate something regardless of the content. Easy to overshoot and just start weeding out all “negativity,” which can stifle healthy conversation almost as much as dealing with the hate-posters can. I don’t envy the responsibility you mods have trying to strike a good balance on that.

          Yeah, like I said, the professional haters are pretty easy to spot.

          As far as removing negativity…well, our rules are pretty clear on that. Be respectful, explain yourself, and be truthful, and there’s not going to be a problem.
