Heyo! Folks be sending all sorts of questions so I'll give it a shot.
So you're a Star Trek fan right? Have you been watching and/or enjoying the newer series? Or are you partial to the older ones? (I'm the latter, ive preferred TNG, DS9 and Voyager best.) But if you're also enjoying the newer stuff I'd be curious about your thoughts on 'em?
So I admit I have fallen off on Star Trek recently and my opinions on star trek in general are often considered… controversial.
TOS: It’s fine I guess.
Next Gen: Good although a good chunk of season 1 and anything to do with Tasha Yar is less good. (Not because of Tasha’s Character or performance just the writing for her feels a bit tone deaf at times to a modern ear.)
DS9: I have bounced off this again and again. Never made it past about 10 episodes. I dunno why, I’ve watched worse without complaint. I wonder if it is to do with the religious portrayals, as these are the things I most struggle with in Sci Fi due to my own bias getting in the way.
Voyager: Wonderful once it finds its feet. I married the woman who was the closest to Janeway I could find in the real world. Coffee addiction, war scowl and all.
Discovery: Watched season 1 and enjoyed, subsequent seasons nI haver not had chance to view consistently due to UK licensing and not being able to afford every streaming platform.
Lower Decks: Frigging brilliant, no notes, but again I am behind as I haven’t the budget for additional media purchases right now.
Brave New Worlds: I couldn’t say. I hear good things but again, fragmented streaming is an expense I can’t justify right now.
Picard: Mixed. I was okay with the premise and S1 had it’s moments although it was harder to get through than I thought which is weird since it had so many components I liked. I dropped off with the introduction of seven of nine as I feel the character was done a bit dirty and with Protocol entering preproduction I had to prioritise my time and Picard didn’t spark enough joy to continue. I may return to it.
Star Trek films: Far too much to cover here. TLDR much like bond movies it swings between good and bad but I’ll always have a soft spot for any iteration of Kahn and I have seen First Contact most.
TLDR: Seen a bunch, not all, Voyager is my fave despite the well known flaws.
