I dunno. I'm gonna say it wasn't complete trash. It's still better than Nemesis.

I'm pretty sure no part of this is a good thing

I don't even know that I want to go as far as to say "worse." It's different and the appeal seems different. It doesn't "hit the same" any more, to coin a phrase.

Not to get you started, but you're very right: the movie definitely could and should have been better.

I don't dislike the aww moments by any means, and you're right that they have a way of doing them that's quite good. I just miss something that doesn't seem to be there anymore and I can't describe what it is.

I believe the chart is total over time? TBH I stole the image from R*ddit. I understand it to be a straight forward, if slightly out of date, mapping of ratings from IMDb. Nostalgia night play a factor but I have my doubts.

It's definitely changed a lot in 14 seasons but to say it's better is pretty subjective. I personally feel it's lost a lot of it's edge in favor of safe, formulaic, "awwww" moments that tug on the heartstrings.

Also just look at the ratings. I'm clearly not alone in thinking the show lacks something it once had.
