I'm tired of this show getting a free pass

There are a lot of phenomenally bad episodes of this show, even outside of the terrible first season. The show gets a free pass like it's the very best of all Star Trek. It's really quite silly and laughable at times, made worse by the fact that it took itself way too seriously a lot of the time. At least the original series had kind of a campy feel to it. There must be a dozen different episodes of this show where one cast member is the only one who can see reality for what it is while time and space goes haywire around them and the rest of the cast is oblivious to it. I'm also sick and tired of seeing the cast trying to explain behavior to Data, while trying to spare his feelings that he doesn't even have. The show wasn't anywhere near as insightful or philosophical as it was made out to be. It can be fun but only because of its own unintentional ridiculousness.
