    Discovery is fine, but it is the worst of the Star Trek series. It’s not bottom of the barrel TV, but it’s weak. It does some fun things, but it has a lot of episodes that just drag on.

    That being said Strange New Worlds is excellent. It does have some weak episodes but when it’s great, it’s fantastic.

      STD, AND picard were pretty bad, but snw is only so-so, lower decks is much better than the 3 though. prodigy might have more praise if it lasted longer as a series.

      Totally agree. Discovery definitely had some fun cool things, especially in the early seasons. Unfortunately I think it got kind of sanctimonious as it progressed and that made a lot of the episodes kind of tedious.

      SNW is sooo good, though. Still mad that Lower Decks was cancelled, too.

        The only thing terrible about Enterprise is the opening song. The show itself was competent if a little campy trek. Discovery and Picard are just dramafest crap in comparison.

        Personally, I hated Picard a lot more than Enterprise. The first season was fine. But it was all kind of confusing after that.

          OK yeah to be fair I did think Picard was way worse than Enterprise. I watched all of ENT but couldn’t get more than a few episodes into Picard, it was just ehhhhh

          picard was wierd bad at the same time, 1st season romulan threat, dropped in the 2nd season, which had borg and potential invasion of time traveling borg, immediately dropped the 3rd season with no explanation until the very last few episodes, and the wierd changeling arc?. this is all kurtzman’s doing for all 3 seasons.

            Because kurtzmann just cherry picks the high notes and stuffs them in devoid of context

          Picard gets a pass because season 3 was a love letter to 90s Trek. It’s a 10 episode reunion episode.

          I had fun with season 2. If you look at it as a mirror universe or holodeck program going wild, it’s fun. But also it’s sorta just a weird fanfic of a season.

          Season 1 exists.

          Maybe Picard is worse than Discovery, but Discovery also wasted a lot more of my time, but also Discovery gave us Strange New Worlds.

          The biggest disappointment of Enterprise is that after all the 90s Trek build up, we go back to the start of the Trek timeline. We build a fun new Next Generation era and then just drop it for the Beginning Generation.
