I'm pretty sure what he doesn't like is people just dumping on it, which makes sense because we're not hanging out in a place to dump on star trek. Discussion is another thing entirely.
Personally, I think it had a lot of problems to begin with, and i'm glad they soldiered on through at least for the Spock season because damn did it give our older characters a lot more depth. You know, the depth that you feel in them but wasn't explicitly there? Makes Spock's internal struggles and relationships make so much more sense, and sets Pike up perfectly as the absolute idol of all the captains we've seen. Like they're trying to live up to him, each in their own way, but none of them have really gotten to know the guy. Recontextualized the whole thing for me, in a good way. Lots to think about.
Anyway, i've talked with him about that stuff, and some of the problems with it and that's the impression I got.
